Hey mommas! Anyone interested in forming a small fb group for October due dates? I'm in a Dec 2015 group and we still remain close. If I get enough interest, I'll create the group. Let me know!
I definitely would be, but not yet. We created our May 2015 FB group once our babies were born, and we had already built a rapport with one another. Right now I just feel like it's too early and I don't want my real name, etc. being revealed this early.
Way too early. There's going to be a lot of people coming and going between now and October, as well as an inevitable board implosion or two.
I'm in a fb group for my m14 bunch, but we didn't join that until after babies were born. I will definitely join one for our O17 group, but not for a while when everything settles and we're all more familiar with each other
I agree with you guys. I didnt friend my june-15ers till several months after our babies were born! It was awesome to finally "meet" ladies that i'd been talking to for over a year.
I agree with everyone else. I hope to eventually have a facebook group. I did the bump with my oldest and my birth board created a facebook group, and now nearly 5 years later we're still really close and i love them. But i think we need to wait and ride out a storm a little first. We had some bumps on the bump and some even bigger bumps once the facebook group started with splintering groups and whatnot. Drama drama drama.
Hey! I was in the December 2015 group, too! I left the group during the summer, but I still remain friends with a lot of the ladies from the group. I would love a FB group, it's much easier than keeping up with a bump board.
Seems like little to no interest atm. So I won't be making it for now. For those of u who want to join one, WTE app has already formed several fb groups. I'm going to be joining one of those.
I'm interested at a later point (maybe after 20 weeks?) My April 2013 board created one, and we still have more than 50 of us in it. We love it, but it is inevitable that some of the sharks, loonies, and liars will self destruct sometime between now and October.... best to wait a little bit before inviting them into our real lives. Nonetheless, I love you all already!
I'd love to be in a Facebook group if it can be private. I was in December 2015 too and I still love checking / posting. Maybe we can start one and those who want to be involved now can be and those who want to wait can wait?
^^The only thing I see an issue with is if people join now and get super close, once other people are ready to join down the road, it might be like some weird invasion. Like when those of us who wait are ready to join, it will feel like we're stepping in on some secret community. Idk, that's just my thoughts
I would love to, down the line. The last one we moved from bump to fb in 2013 turned in to such a nightmare that I had to make a smaller one for the non crazies...then ended up closing that one out a few months after our kids were born because women can be crazy lol. I'm still great friends with 4 girls out of over 200 though thanks to The Bump and then FB :-)
Not yet. On my first BMB, some of us bonded beautifully and moved to a private FB group about 6 months into pregnancy. We still talk every day. I'm glad we waited, because there were some crazies who went down in flames long before that. At least they were entertaining.
I would be interested. The other group I'm in we joined early and all shared our pregnancies and arrivals of our babies. We are all so close now. Which is why I reached out to this again since I just found out I'm pregnant yesterday. Also it's hard to keep track of notifications and people on here. Unless it's changed since last year. Anyway. I'd love to have a group to go on this journey with. I guess I'll check back later and see if anyone else wanted to join!
@Tennis11785 Likely the group catfish "won't have a Facebook" anyway.
But I definitely want to weed out the crazies!

I'm in..my august 15 group was started around 8 weeks. It was nice having people to talk and relate to throughout pregnancy and we're all still really close. If there's a crazy you can just delete them from the group! Also we didn't fb friend each other until late pregnancy or after babes were born so if your profile is private no one should be able to see anything about you
Id prefer FB group. The format of this app is horrible. And I'd rather skip all the drama and leave the "crazies" here on the bump to stir their own pot. While we actually get to bond and enjoy each others company. Easier to weed them out on facebook.
Re: October Facebook group?
Just my own own comfort level

No fb for me yet. I'll wait till we weed out the crazies and determine the group catfish.

Can I just say I am secretly ready for this? I love reading through all the good juicy drama. And there's bound to be some crazies lurking around.
