I was a part of the september 2015 group and loved it, but I didn't join until after halfway through my pregnancy, I think that's a good time to start one
I'm for the waiting until we are further along. I was part of a FB group for March '13 Moms and it was great but after we all had our kiddos I couldn't post as much as I was and they ended up kicking me out of the group. I understand you have to be active and participate but having a newborn, pumping milk at all times and sleepless nights it became hard to post everyday. I'm willing to give it another go though.
I would definitely be up for it later down the road once the inevitable crazies are weeded out. My Sept '10 group didn't move to FB until well into our 3rd tri. They're still some of my nearest and dearest friends.

I don't think you really weed out crazies until late pregnancy anyways. I think a facebook group is fine. I am an admin for my D12 ladies, and I love every single one of them.
Yeah, there are always implosions, and that's fine. I just think whatever will be will be.

This is true. My January 2015 group had a massive implosion just after the kids were born. Some people left and made a separate group. I'm in both, and the original group is reeeeally quiet and the other group is still weeding out crazies to this day.
I'm in a Facebook group from J15, and it's been great. They stated upfront that the purpose of the group was to offer support, as there had been some big drama on tb that they were trying to avoid. Differing opinions are welcomed, and the group had survived parenting, nursing, baby wearing, and vaccine conversations without anyone being unkind and we have opinions that differ greatly. I hope to become a part of a similar Facebook group this time around as well.
As as much as I'd prefer to be on Facebook now, pp's are probably right in wanting to wait a little longer to form one.
Sorry, too early for me But would definitely consider near middle but preferably end of our pregnancy, in a private invitation only manner. & even then.. i've become quite wary. not being stuck up, but just for the safety/privacy of my life & my family. As well as your's
Still way too early. I'm part of one with my A15 ladies and love it but it started after most babies were born. At this point there's no way I would join a FB group, still haven't figured out who is crazy
I guess I'm already in a million groups. I cloth diaper, I love JJB, I am in loss groups, breastmilk donor groups, and every LLG group known to mankind. It wouldn't bother me.
Yeah echoing everyone who said it's way too early. With my previous BMB the FB group wasn't started until late 2nd tri and only the regs/non-crazies were invited to it via private message.
I'm curious as to why it is too early and what kind of crazy you ran into? I joined a couple of closed June 2017 fb groups but after reading this I wonder if that was a bad idea. So far I haven't seen anything odd but it hasn't been long.
First pregnancy here. I was part of a secret fb group from TK ladies who were all Dec 2012 brides. That group was amazing for me and I would absolutely love one for my pregnancy. I'm fine waiting still 2nd trimester to have one though to weed out some people.
Fwiw, there are four women in here that are all from my January 2015 Facebook group that started here on TB. We've started a FB group for June 2017 with just us since we already know each other. If anyone is interested, please feel free to message me for more info.
My Aug2010 BMB has a FB group... and we are all still very interactive there even after 6 years now. Later on down the road it would be nice, I agree it is too soon for now.
