A Facebook page for the June2016 moms?

on3in2015 · November 2015

With my last pregnancy(Sadly ended in a loss) the group made a Facebook page. Anyone willing to make one? They set it to private so only members of the group could see it. I would do it but Im so not gifted when its comes to this sort of thing? Anyone know how to do this?

It was so much fun while I was there and I recently poked my head into the old group to see if any babies had been born and there where so many pictures of newborns and all the moms seemed to really enjoy keeping each other so closely updated. They even did a holiday thing where they all send each other sweet little gifts. Anyway I just thought it may be fun.

I think this is a great idea, closer or after the babies births. We need to weed out the crazies before attaching ourselves irl

BlackAndGold09 · November 2015

Btw I've ran multiple large groups/swap groups and I'd be more than happy to set it up when the time comes!

NicknShan · November 2015

Someday - it will be fun. But I know I won't be interested for a few months... And most definitely not until after everyone is out of the first tri.

With my first bump board, there were multiple groups created. The first one wasn't until about 6 months... And that is about the earliest I would go. I like to get to know more people here before I get into a Facebook group. Just my opinion.

Its more for during pregnancy as well as after. Never had any issues with crazies at least while I was there.

Seemed like more crazies where on here (I think because people are so anonymous on here). Our June group seems quite small actually I can't imagine getting a lot of "traffic" but I get your concern. I actually ended up on the FB page more than I was on here.

I'm not entirely against it, but definitely not at the moment. It's way too early for that.

on3in2015 · November 2015

I wish our group wasn't so dead. Seems like there are not many post lately?

BlackAndGold09 · November 2015

I was in March 11 and we had a great group after the kids were born and if you go on that board now it's completely dead. I do agree that Facebook is easier to access etc but I'm not ready for all my info to be out there yet. It does seem a bit slow, but it is a slowish time of pregnancy.

goldie987 · November 2015

I agree that I would be up for it in a few months but its a bit early at the moment, I just wouldn't be comfortable with opening up so much of my personal life this soon. OP, you mentioned the board has been a bit dead recently which may be true but I don't think a FB page will fix that issue. We're just at a point in pregnancy where there isn't much going on to talk about other than being bloated and nauseous.

Id love to once I know yall better! Too soon. Around birth time would Prob be good. Not ready to show my identity yet

Yes. I do feel this way. Kind of makes me a little sad...

arosemong · November 2015

I don't have Facebook but that's a good idea when we're further along!

I don't have many friends with kiddos so I want all the mom friends I can get!

vampbride99 · November 2015

I'd be up for it after I get to know everyone better. I do agree it has been a little dead, I know I haven't posted much in the past couple of weeks, but that was due to intense fatigue and the stomach flu. Now that that's gone, and I'm getting some energy back, I'll be more active

Corts · November 2015

I would love a FB page because most of my posts and replies don't go through on my phone.

BLM10 · November 2015

I am still part of my 2011 FB group but it was started about 2 months PP and we STILL had crazies dropping out through the first year or more. It was over 300 and now down to 130, only half of which are active, and spawned several smaller groups. Just a heads up that the venue doesn't dictate cohesiveness or activity.

Yes I feel this way too!! Maybe it will pick up when we get further along and turn into total bitches because we're so oregnant. Is it bad that I'm ready for the snark and drama???

MynaBird · November 2015

TBH, a big part of what makes me feel comfortable participating on TB is the anonymity. I talk about things on here that I would only discuss with my very closest friends, and for that reason I try not to share very much identifying information. Personally, I wouldn't join a FB group just because I feel like it would limit what I feel comfortable sharing.

The venue doesn't dictate the crazy, but right now no one here knows my real name or exactly where I work. Things have happened on TB when people give out all this info (like having your screen name be your full name). There was also another bmb that made the fb group super early and then titled it "month moms to be" and like half of them were outed to their friends and family because it wasn't set up correctly when they were promised it would be.

BLM10 · November 2015

Right. What I am saying is moving to FB doesn't make us a like-minded group of friends chatting all day, everyday. There will be pot-stirrers and baby daddy drama and the like but no anonymity.

They were outed to family?? That's crazy! Yeah definitely not joining a FB group right now!!

bio-oesch · November 2015

I'm in some fb groups from previous bmb and love it, but I agree it's a bit early. I don't think we need to wait until after birth, but maybe 6mths or so?

Bear14+ · November 2015

I think I joined the fb group in N14 around the 6 or 7 month mark. I think it was good timing. Right now, not so much.

on3in2015 · November 2015

I agree waiting till we are all further along would be beneficial in a lot of way. Lets hope things pickup, because seriously its so slow rite now.

It was the name of the group that outed them. Like January moms to be, but I can't recal which month it was. It showed up to all their fb friends as they joined a group with that name so everyone knew. Made for some seriously funny lurking back then.

fishwife799 · November 2015

I am in a fb group for my last baby and we are all great friends and a great source of support for each other. That being said we didn't start our group until our babies were a month old. That gave us time to get to now each other a little better. There is just so much information so easily accessible on fb I wouldn't be comfortable with it yet. Down the road more I would be though.

MayB15 · November 2015

I would love to join once I'm telling everyone about the pregnancy in a few weeks x

I was in N14 too! Don't recognize your name, did you change it? I was in the N14 group, but left a few months back.

childcaremama · November 2015

I'd definitely be up for it about Christmas time! Everyone should be done with the first trimester by then. I also have had problems posting from my phone on TB. If we have a couple of good moderators to kick out anyone who gets crazy I think it'll be good. Just my two cents!

CourtJack · November 2015

Way too early. I'm good here, for now.

jmohio · November 2015

I think it is a great idea for later. I also feel it will pick up on here as people come out of the first trimester.

ngraham17@yahoo.com · November 2015

I agree. I think its too early. We are all still a little nervous about things and would prefer waiting around 6 or 7 month mark.

CDCbaby · November 2015

I'm in a FB group from my 2nd son and I love it! We started it right before most of us started giving birth. So it really didn't get going until after the babies were born. It started out with probably 200-300ish and we're down to 120ish now I think. Definitely had to weed out a few crazies but they naturally did it to themselves :P

All that to say I am definitely down with a group, but agree it's a little early for now!

stillcozy · November 2015

I agree after first tri lets make one.

carrieandbabybean · November 2015

I'd love to be in a FB group but probably wouldn't join until December. I'd be afraid I'd do something stupid - like think I was posting in the private June 2016 moms FB page but instead update my Facebook status to, "When is this pregnancy constipation going to end?" and thus everyone in my contacts finds out about my pregnancy prematurely in the most embarrassing way possible.

alysemci · November 2015

Doesn't bother me much, I'll join whenever it's made

EricaLeeann · November 2015

I think it could be fun(: I agree with most; it should probably wait until after the first trimester, but I think Facebook is a lot easier of a forum.

seabandsforall · November 2015

I'm happy to join one a little later too. I can help with making sure privacy settings etc. are such that we don't have unintended consequences such as having people outside the group be aware of our activities.
