The FB group for DD's BMB didn't form until after our babies were born and even after it was formed, we still had to remove people. I think right now there are about 124 of us. I hangout with a few regularly and there are 12 of us chat daily. We actually have a meet up next week, but I can't go.
Oh man what did I miss....I have been preoccupied with some serious IRL/NBR things the past few days so I'm slow to keep up with bump discussions, came back to comment on the car seat stuff and see all this! I'm on mobile and can't view some things so thanks for the screenshot @CopperBoom86. I find it kinda confusing lol but not really surprised honestly...
@nlane0723, probably a good idea to wait longer.... I mean, I feel like I only really interact with about 10 of you on here, give or take.... and then I go on HDBD and I'm like "who are all these people?!?!?!?!"
HDBD on TB has traditionally always brought all the lurkers out of the woodwork. Not sure what it is about showing off your belly that brings out the rando noobs.
eta: @annabenanna - you would be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't) at how many names you will never see again after the babies are born.
There's a lot to keep up with on this thread! I don't understand the FTM thread, was it posted on this board? Bumping from mobile doesn't help I guess.

You know what's funny? I can see who the "regs" of HDBD are... but they aren't regs in any other thread except HDBD... I actually have seen their belly grow over the months, but I still have not interacted ONCE with them.

Same, I'm tempted to be a snob and pass over their pics, but I'm a sucker about handing out love tits to all the bellies... Can't blame the belly for the mama.
@NoraAurora thanks! I thought that may be who but wasn't sure. So weird. I feel like if it's stuff you can't talk about on here, then I don't really wanna be talking about it anyway. Lol

I totally pass over them.
I don't care that they only post on that thread, but don't expect a love tit from me if you don't even go here.
@Kaytee1087 I'm going for a VBAC and hadn't even thought about classes. I've got a new practice and a new hospital so I'll be doing the tour for sure but other than that the MW suggests hypnobabies (online). She said most moms who go through the course has success since the goal is intervention free (including pain meds) for as long as possible vs women who do nothing before going in. I didn't have any classes or prep last time, just thought I could do it on my own.
@LauraPCOS I think I installed around 36/37 weeks, but the base was easy to get in and out (after I figured it all out) so I had no issues pulling it out if I needed to. I'll do it around 38/40 weeks at least in one car (because I feel comfortable with how to get a good install in my cars now and I'm sure I'll be going over), but I'm sure my husband could figure out how to do it while I'm in the hospital after baby is here if need be. I don't worry about getting it in so much as having everything on the actual seat adjusted and knowing how it works. On that note, I've got a 2 year old and am moving seats around all the time and my husband has never put a base or convertible in, he keeps joking that I can't leave him because he will never know what LATCH or weight limits are.
Also regarding driving while in labor, in early labor I could have. By the time my contractions hit 3/4 minutes apart I wouldn't have because I was in back labor. If you a re worried and think it's go time you can always drive up that way and walk around the building/ some shops so you are near when things pick up. My goal is to stay home as long as possible so I'm hoping that DH is home when it's time to head in.

She doesn't even go here! ::ducks into crowd in the back::
I hope you were referencing Mean Girls and I don't seem like a nut job now...

Yep, same here! Cool bump, bro, but no love from me unless we interact.
ETA: This is WHEN I even check out the HDBD thread... some weeks I skip over altogether.
I feel super weird because I come on here every 2 days and wall of text reply in randoms then can't get on for a while. I promise I'm not a SS creeper (at least on purpose).
@Julia70286 It looks really cool! I imagine that will help ease your mind. I remember constantly waking up and making sure my daughter was breathing when she was a baby.
Well, mixed news. He is not clear-cut autism. He shows a lot of positive functional behaviors but he also shows a lot of autism behaviors. Based on the scoring rubric they used, he warrants formalized testing. They video taped the session and the evaluator is going to show the video to their child psychologist to double check how to score a few things that were questionable but she's going to start the paperwork to get him on the list for a formal evaluation.
Sooooo... Answers and no answers at the same time. Blah. The evaluator said she's guessing that the wait list is out to October/November so that might get tricky with being super pregnant or with a newborn

Also, if there IS indeed a new FB group being formed, I want in please.
It will probably happen, just not for awhile.
