I've been on The Bump for years since I had my daughter back in 2011 and have decided to join in again with baby #2 on the way. I know I'm late to this party....LOL.
My name is Melissa, I am 31 and due with baby #2 (boy!) on July 19th. I live in Ontario, Canada.
Do you have a FB group also?

So nice to see the snark so early in a group. I haven't been on in a few years, I apologize for forgetting every last rule that governs your bumpie existences.

There are pinned threads for a reason. You should read them.
Also, do you really think that if we did have a Facebook group (which we don't, because we are still weeding out the crazies) we would just welcome you (a complete stranger) with open arms? No. There is way too much personal stuff on facebook for that.
@hyperangel_8509 The ***READ THIS FIRST*** thread is a great place to start. Or the introductions thread as these are both pinned at the top for newcomers. Please lurk a bit to get a feel for our group and jump in when you're ready. Hope you decide to stick around as there's plenty of great advice and great people, but one off posts clutter up the board and are generally frowned upon in a community environment.
Early? We've been here since November or before, most of us are over half way there. Since you've been on TB before you'd know not to jump on a new board and tell everyone how snarky they are.
And since you JUST joined us here in July AND you're already asking about Facebook, you're going to stick out. Sorry, not sorry.
After the crazy we've had on our board we are allowed to be weary of a new poster who should know how the boards work.
If you had lurked just a little you would have seen what's been going on. Is it unfair if you aren't a part of it? Maybe. However we are all tired of the crazy and anyone joining now who has been on the bump before should know better. Introducing yourself on the Intro thread and posting on other threads is the way to go.

1. If you've been on TB for years, you should know that you need to lurk and see how each board / community operates. You apparently did not do this as you skipped over the pinned posts at the top - including the Introduction thread....
2. We don't have a FB group yet because we're still getting and weeding out crazy people.
3. It is NOT early. Most of us are 1/2 way through our pregnancies or at the VERY least we're 1 or 2 weeks away from the 1/2 way mark. If you're due July 19th you should know this since you would be about 22 weeks

Meh, I'm over it - I was going to give The Bump another go with #2 but this snark on a new board poster is not my thing. At least when I was here we refrained from snarking on new members until they proved to be stupid.
All the best, ladies!

@hyperangel_8509 This is where she got it. You probably meant it as you just joining and already getting the snark but some of us took it as being in early stages of the group.

Where did I say anything about it being early? I'm lost at your #3 comment. I said I'm late to the party.

Just a note - You could have avoided this all by reading the pinned posts at the top of the board. And maybe lurking a bit. And, possibly, being receptive when those of us that have been around here for 5-ish months suggest a little reading is in order.

These comments were that the snark was early...not that our pregnancies were early.
The other early comments were in regards to a Facebook group. We've recently had a bunch of crazies and are very leary of new comers at this stage because of said crazy...so no Facebook groups yet.
Stay, read, lurk. This group if full of wonderful, supportive women. I'm sure you'll see that if you stick around.

Isn't that what you did by being snarky on my post? You and all the others being snarky because HOW DARE I NOT FOLLOW THE RULES MADE BY SOME RANDOM ON TB. The irony of it, really.

If you don't like the snark, you're in the wrong place. But if you want to stick around, despite the snark, feel free. Welcome to July 17. My advice is to let this thread die. Jump right in on another thread and contribute something besides defending yourself over here.

@hyperangel_8509, seems like your not really a fan of our community and I'm not really sure what you're hoping to accomplish by arguing with contributing long time board members but you do you. Just don't be surprised if you don't make friends here.
@PurplePoppy424 I recognize the sparky name, but I know she isn't around as much. Maybe she's from another board?
