Maybe I'm the only one who talks about the bump outside of the bump but I refer to you ladies as my "mommy group". How do you refer to the ladies here?
I also just say mommy group or online group for Nov moms. At first my husband thought it was kinda lame but now he likes hearing the stories and suggestions made on here. My friends also think it's cool now
I don't. To DH, unless speaking about a specific forum or group, I refer to people I talk with online as "forum friends." He knows most are from mom/parenting forums. I usually only get specific if I'm discussing a debate and need to provide context.

Nov Ladies or when referencing the 'AL community I specify loss & some of the girls he's familiar with because I've talked about them enough (and send/receive stuff in the mail from time to time from some of them).

I pretty much talk about yall all the time; especially @mommymeg143! I usually say my mom group! When talking about mommymeg, I say her name, then labor buddy, and then when Parker still doesn't remember, I have to say the girl from South Carolina! Lol.

Same for William!! I act all exaggerative and offended if he doesn't remember who you are!! Haha!!!
I also talk about @targetpopcornmomma like she is my sister. He has heard every Addison story.
This is funny though, I told him about the catfish girl that happened a few months ago...so, now when I talk about my mommy's group...he says "Oh!! Your catfish friends!!"
To DH I call it The Bump, to other people I always have trouble trying to explain it for some reason, usually I garble together something like "online message forum for other moms who were due in November".
DH refers to it as "your website", like I own TB. "Are you on your website again? Anything good on your website today?" LOL
Only DH knows about you all. To everyone else, I just say another mom or I read about it online...
DH just refers to it as The Bump. He knows specific stories (I think one of his favorites was the harpies thread) but pretty much stays out of it. It's funny though, now that LO is here if we're having issues or I'm super stressed, he says "Well, what does the bump say?" Like you all are the bible for babies....which, let's be real, you are ;-)

I also just refer to you guys as "another mom I know" or "my friend..."
To people who I have already explained it to, I just say my message board/ forum. To someone else I usually feel the need to give a full explanation because apparently I think the people I know live under rocks lol. "There is a pregnancy website called TB, there are forums and I'm a part of one for babies born in N14" lol, writing that out, I sound ridiculous. But I've mostly really only talked about it with DH, my sisters, and a close friend or two. A lot of times I just say "I read about it online".
I totally overexplain it too! Mine goes something like - I've been using this website called The Bump and they have communities based on your due date so you can talk to other women going through the same things you are, it's really great blah blah blah blah"

I was really hoping someone would say they call us "my only friends" just for giggles.
DH loves the (sharable) stories.
And i totally refer to him as Darling Husband all the time! Love Bump Speak!
