Are you in any fb groups...

jennip68 · January 2015

Just curious who is in a fb group from your previous bmb? Your experience?
I saw several other boards chatting about it so I thought I'd bring up the topic here..... Because it's NYE and that's how bored I am.

I am in 2 from my March 2013 bumpies and we had a little bit of a rocky start but after weeding out a few crazies.. We are all really close.

jennip68 · January 2015

Same here.. We started our as just a private group but all eventually became friends.

I'm in a private group from my old BMB we are pretty close knit. We were a lot bigger but had a split after a disagreement, maybe 1.5 years ago. Have been going strong since!
I actually met my best friend on my BMB and we joined the FB group together. Now we talk all day every day and are crazy together. She had her second girl in November.

Not from my previous bmb but I have been in a group of women who were on the TTC board at the same as me. We've been together for around 5 years and I seriously love them all like sisters. The majority of us have met in person several times, I can honestly say many of the friendships I have made on the bump will be lifelong. I get all happy just thinking about them

No, I didn't really participate in the forums when pregnant with my DD. More of an occasional lurker.

JJBoden · January 2015

Yep. A mod for my ODS's BMG ( 2006). We've been through some fall out but still there. And in one for YDS as well. Lots of wonderful mamas. Hopefully come baby time we have one for this birth month.

Not in any FB groups but I'm FB friends with a few ladies from TTCAL. We keep in touch on FB and IRL too.

BabyShanteau · January 2015

I'm a Mod for a June '13 group that all started out on TB. We're the GlitterMoms.

We also had a learning curve time frame when we had to weed out some crazies. I think we started out as just over 40 girls and we're at 37 now. I don't know what I'd do without them. Five of us are getting together in Charleston in a couple of weeks.

redneckmomma25 · January 2015

I am part of my s12 fb group. It's relatively slow though.

Suesse2009 · January 2015

I am part of my first bmb Facebook group. It was a really big group that split after some drama a couple years ago. I am part of the original group. I was glad it split. All the drama seemed to go away when it did.

Shadeauxe · January 2015

I was in a group for my daughter's DDC (just mommies) but they had a hissy fit over something I said and I decided that it was not worth the drama. I remain FB friends with a select few of the people from that group.

The thing I don't like about Facebook is that joining a group makes you lose a lot of privacy. I had to strip all of my personal information from my account because these women were strangers to me with only a child born in the same month in common.

arlinar · January 2015

I'm not part of any groups from the bump but I am part of a group from reddit for pregnant ladies. I'm pretty tight with a lot of the girls there.

PinkDahLia44 · January 2015

I'm in a group from my O13 bmb. The Facebook privacy thing doesn't make any sense to me bc just because you're in a group with someone doesn't mean you are fb "friends" with them. So really you are only sharing as much as any random person on fb can see.

Anyway, our fb group is pretty active and our BMB is beyond saving.

True, but you're also typically using your real name on Facebook and some people may not be comfortable with people who are basically strangers being able to google them and find out more info, whereas here you could never tie this SN to my actual identity.

I recently joined a FB group for women with placenta previa. I couldn't find much about it on the bump forums but it has been so helpful to talk to other moms going through the same thing as me and hearing their stories and outcomes.

jennip68 · January 2015

Sounds like a lot of good supportive experiences. I'm hoping we get the chance to figure out if some in our group will want to meet in other forums as week as here.
One of the things I liked was that the snotty chicks from our march bmb lost their balls once we got a fb group and they ended up not being so snarky all the freaking time. Well, two were still jerks and they ended up moving on bc they were super aggressive. Oh, the drama. But, it seems to work itself out.

specialsn0wflake · January 2015

I only found this site this pregnancy but i would be willing to join a FB group with the women here. I've googled myself before and aside from my parents phone number (major wtf there) the info that was available isn't anything super private. I'm sure I've mentioned my current state here before.

I have a really uncommon last name and I am pretty easy googleable because of that. It makes me skeptical of crossing my forum self with my real self. People on the internet can be crazy.

I am still very active on an off board from my first pregnancy that we switched to after sone heavy troll drama here. I am friends with many of those ladies on FB and I have met many IRL so they are no longer creepy Internet stranger.

I feel like in order to be comfortable enough with being in the Facebook group with people from here I would probably have to change my last name on Facebook and I'm not really interested in doing that.

I'm an active member of a sept 12 group. I had been with many of the girls since TTC so it was a natural transition. Since you don't have to be friends with anyone (well one person so they can add you), you can keep pretty private. Imo it's easier to use FB than TB so I enjoy it better.

Not TB Sept 12 group, right? I don't recognize you.

I'd be willing to join/create an A15 FB group with the caveat that the members get a say in which people join. I don't claim by any means to be 100% sure which ones are trolls or twits on here, so I'd enjoy having a back-up group of ladies who can check on that if we had a group. I'd enjoy being able to stay in touch with the (not sane, uh...) people on here like me!

If you decide to start one... Make a new thread and let us know!!

I'm not even on facebook. I'm huge about privacy. My DH and I had a joint acct but shut it down last year.

It's niiiice not having it.

Same here. I am not on FB and huge about my privacy. I had a cyberstalking incident a few years ago. So I have closed all social media.

I love not having too.

nechmielewski · January 2015

I'm in a December 12 bmb board fb spinoff, I'm really good friends with a few of the ladies from there still.

SuperFudge00 · January 2015

I'm in a knot group from D'10. There are still 27 of us and we keep up on all things and a few of us are pregnant now, some for the second time.

fourthtimesacharm · January 2015

I joined one, but it is awful! Seriously "When are we suppose to get stretch marks? I don't have any yet, is that normal?" and constant shirtless pics.

kjuryfl · January 2015

Yes, I am still part of my August 2011 group. There are 100 of us. We are all very close and I consider them my extended family. It took a year or so to weed out the drama. I love my ladies!

See its the "it took a year or so to weed out the drama" part that I'm just not interested in dealing with. So much shit to shovel here, I wouldn't want to do that all over again.

Yea, it was annoying for awhile. For the last almost 3 years it has been good though (with the occasional cranky moment.. But when you put 100 women in a group that is bound to happen regardless). I met my IRL best friend in my Aug 11 group and we are super close now. We vacation together and visit each other often.

OliveMom3 · January 2015

I'm in two fb groups from s13. Well, three really because one has some drama that caused us to form a third group. They are awesome each in their own ways. I've met one of the ladies from one of the group's but since I'm in Canada and there army's many Canadians in the group's it's not likely that I will meet many more... Sniff! But I really love the group's so much. I hope to join one for this new baby when the time comes.

Someone earlier suggested invite only so that only the people you want from A15 would be invited, like the regulars for example. That way, no drive by's, drama, SS, etc.

themainemama1 · January 2015

I am on 2 boards. One due date club from August 2002 ( yep you read it right my oldest is 12) and we met on yahoo groups back when we were all pregnant. The group is only about 20 members now but we are all close. I am also on a FB group for my youngest Oct 2012 (though I had mine in November) we have about 40 members and I love that group.

I would like to find another FB group for April '15 because it's so nice sharing the experience with others in a smaller setting:

Who do you consider a regular? What is the criteria? And Who gets to vote on who? Who starts the group and decides who to invite?

Whoever decided they want to make a group I would guess. I was lurking another BMB last night and saw a post about a group they started and it was open at first then they decided to close invites once the group collectively decided they were satisfied with the people they had.

I'm sure there would be more than one group if someone wanted to split and make their own.
