    @wbubbybear15 damn girl, there are some straight up bishes on February! Can't say we won't get some here over the course of the next 40 or so weeks, but glad you're here!

    Wow, hi, that's rude. You know this is a public board, right?

    Feb17 girls may be snarky, but only when it's called for. And I don't know a single one of us who would be so tacky as to call names like this.

    I really think the comment was just intended to playfully welcome someone who wasn't feeling so welcome elsewhere. Given all the snark that goes down on these boards, I'm not really sure why that single comment keeps getting blown out of proportion. Are you a potential March Mom? Or were you just swingin' by and hoping to stir the pot?

    If the first- then welcome!!!! We're excited to get to know you, as we have been with all of our other intros!

    If the second, thanks for stopping by.
    There's snark, and then there's disrespect. Calling members of another BMB "bishes" is an example of the latter. That's why this particular post, which in no way comes across as "playful," keeps coming up - it's truly unacceptable behavior, and I can't believe yall didn't check it when it happened. 

    I'm a late-Feb mom who may deliver in March, so I was checking through here to see who I might know and get a feel for the vibe.  Not that it matters why I was here. There is no rule saying that only women who will give birth in March can hang out here. Lurking other boards is hella common here on TB, and even if it wasn't, I'd still have every right to click on through if I felt like it, because, like, America. So please don't "bye, Felicia" me for calling out inappropriate behavior. 

    You're right. I guess I did assume, as I'm sure the others did who also said nothing at the time, that the "bishes" comment was thrown out playfully. But hey girl, if the shoe fits...

  • @longliveregina holy shizzzz nice to see you here!!! CONGRATS!!!


  • @minipig90 I remember you posting! Welcome!! And congrats :)

    I feel like I'm the only one not excited about  being pregnant and I hate it. 

    This is is my second child and my EDD is March 4th. I'm 35 and my bf is 34.  I've only gone to my gp to confirm the pregnancy and get a referral to an OB. That was a week ago and I called for status and they didn't even put the request in!

    I've only told my HR manager at work because it so fricken busy I need to have a good reason to get time off. I'm afraid to tell my mom because she is so negative about everything. My bf and I had to move in with her after he lost his job a few weeks ago and she thinks low of him. We've been together for 9 years and our daughter is 5. I'm hoping he finds a job and we move out before I tell her. This pregnancy is so stressful and work is so stressful I want to cry all the time.

    Hi there! I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never! 

    I'm 30 and so is DH. We've been together since we were 18, married at 23 and started for our fist baby after 4 years of marriage. After 13 months of trying, it was discovered that I have stage 3 endometriosis which ruined my fallopian tubes...natural or "spontaneous" pregnancy is impossible for us. 

    We had our first round of IVF in February 2014, our emby"bro" stuck, got a BFP on March 17 and our DS, Matthew was born on November 14 via scheduled C section. He weighed in at 9.8lbs and 21 inches long! Anyway, I digress...
    We prepped for a frozen emby transfer and that happened on June 30th. I waited as long as I could....7 days...and got my BFP on 7/7! My first beta is tomorrow, 7/11! My EDD is March 18, 2017!!

    I love all things Christmas. I'm obsessed with Disney and planning vacations to go there and I love Harry Potter (I'm looking at you @Scarlett830, we're like interest soulmates) I am excited to be on this board. I hung around on the November 2014 board back in the day, but the girls there tended to be aggressive. And then they all left....anyway...FX and xxxx xxxx!

    edited to add EDD

    Welcome! We're glad to have you!
    I have no idea why I'm stuck
    in this box! I'm sure you
    didn't realize, but the phrase
    in bold is generally avoided 
    out of respect for the mothers
    on the board who have cremated
    their babies. All "sticky" phrases
    are more than welcome, though!

  • @Imisscoffee2017 I hear ya. We are living with my parents right now as we build. We originally were supposed to be only here for two months but the build has taken over 8 months now. Building with my parents in their property so it's not our "fault" for the hold up but I still feel stupid for still being in their house. 
    Lots of tension and fights lately.
    anyway, I'm sorry this pregnancy is stressful for you :(  I hope that your living situation turns around. Keep us updated!

  • @Peepster Fellow Iowan here. :smile: I want to escape to the west coast (specifically L.A.), but DH is intent on staying here. So, technically an Iowan by marriage too. 
  • @dubcompanion Well, hello! I wish we could escape to the west coast, too (specifically the Bay Area), but DH has convinced me that it's better to stay here because the schools are better, it's cheaper, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, "But California's pretty!" ;)
