What's your favorite board to lurk on? Just curious. I find myself pressing the refresh button on our birth month club way too often when I'm trying to deal with my insomnia. :-?
I only lurk this BMB. I'm one of the posters who's never looked at other month boards or even the other topic boards. I always see other posters post about other BMB and I can't let myself get into lurking because I think I will become obsessed And not be able to stop lol!
I only look at our bmb. I also like to look at the names board. Wow! They will really let someone know how they feel about particular names. Pretty good stuff. I really enjoy the name polls (on here and the name board). When I choose the most popular one then I feel like I've gotten a good grade on a test or something. I know it's silly, but still fun.
I'm also active on the High-Risk Board and Second Trimester boards because those pertain to me. ....but when I'm board I usually lurk on N15, Jan16 and whatever months is due date month because I love seeing the birth announcements. Lurk: yes. Post: No *edited for poor grammar; I deserve a break: this is my third migraine [(not a headache; actual migraine that are accompanied uncontrollable N/V requiring IV fluids and pain that literally can make me cry for hours if I don't go to the ER)]. They are also neurologist diagnosed but the one effective med for me causes severe birth defects. It's also 3:46 PTM.*
I think Feb16 has some dramatic threads last week. There was one really interesting one, but I can't remember the topic now. Anyway those ladies are pretty snarky but I love it. I equate snark with witty banter which I also love. I generally do not post when lurking but I have once or twice when I have something meaningful to say.
I just lurk here. I like to post on FFFC and UO and sometimes bump pics... Most of the time once I get to a post everyone has already said what I'm thinking.
I lurk the TTGP and Babies on the Brain boards. I started lurking there when DH and I decided to TTC baby #2, and the gals there are snarky and full of good advice. ETA: The TTGP board is the one with snark on it.

I like the ones that are due around us, Nov & Jan but Feb & March have a ton of drama..March in particular has one user who is always arguing with someone else, I won't list names but it's pretty entertaining.
Also I love lurking September to see what people are dealing with at the end of their pregnancy. But it's been super boring lately.
The newest BMB is usually a good spot to find some drama if I'm on a computer, sometimes I'll check them out. But I'm mostly mobile and it is just such a pain to click in and out of BMBs
LOL...I lurk Nov because some of the women are only a week and a half ahead of me, so I kind of like to see the topics that come up in their board. Also lurk on Jan because my BFF is also pregnant with her first and due in January. But I've caught wind of the drama, so I read February too. I never post, just lurk. I'm nosy and the boards can be so entertaining!
I've been lurking on August/September boards to see what they have registered for and what things they're buying. I know, I know.... boring but registering is the only thing on my mind right now.

The names board! It's wonderful. I want to embed a gif of me lurking - but for some reason the bump board is being super awesome right now and won't me. So I'll just leave the link here. haha

@Knottie67744546 a labor buddy would just let the rest of the BMB know when you go into labor, how you're progressing, when baby is born, etc (basically whatever you'd want to relay to us). You just tell that person and they would communicate with the rest of the board for you... since you know, you'll be kind of busy.
Some of them are waaaayyyyyy worse than this BMB. Some are boring. But I legit never lurked other boards until I read this thread today and now I'm thriving on their drama. Muahahaha.
I lurk all over the place, as January is pretty tame and thus unentertaining. One of you lovelies was kind enough to direct me here when I posted on my old BMB (Sept. 12) that TB as a whole seemed pretty over. I like you.
FTM and not gunna lie, I have no idea what a mucus plug is lol I actually don't lurk on any other boards, mostly because I'm not the smartest cookie and this app confuses the shit out of me =P I personally like this board though, it can get a little cray cray but everyone here is usually very helpful and understanding
Just recently I started lurking on the June/July boards... Just to see what's coming my way. There's some good stuff about breastfeeding and sleepless nights.

I was just on February and there's a girl saying she's 9 weeks but her uterus is up to her belly button.
I so badly wanted to say something but I held back.
ETA: It's in the showing at 10 weeks thread if any of you are bored.
Edited again because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I'm sorry but the nurse in me could not keep quiet with that ridiculousness.
