Someone who wants the FB group should start one and we should pin it. Then all of these threads can stop (assuming the posters take two seconds and read the pinned thread titles...)

I doubt it'll work... most people coming in for this aren't going to check out the pinned threads...
I say let's make a Facebook group and tell them it's paid and ask them to send $20 to sign up. Think of all the money we will make until the babies are here. And then we can go party!
If a Facebook group is made now, the link pinned, and those people go, then would we make a different Facebook group later? Or join the one that has people we don't know. I think it might drive more potentials away. I'm sure there are some here who wouldn't have stuck around if there was already a FB group.
Frankly- I don't think I would ever join a Facebook group ever. However, as and when I get to know ladies here more personally and better I will either build a relationship enough to invite them to be friends with me on FB or Vice Versa. That's what I did with my last BMB and I have some amazing friends today who are my 'friends' and not some random people I am in a group with. I have a 100 mom groups to be a part of if need be on the internet and don't need to follow the group from the bump. But hey that's just me and may not be the case for everyone and that's totally ok ;-). ...and if any of you ladies ever feel not to accept my friend request on Facebook (eventually when that happens), trust me I will never ever feel bad about it.
@mariposa_767s I lean towards starting a new one with more regulars than randoms. And I'm pretty sure the ones who move to Facebook and not participate here wouldn't have been great contributors anyway
Maybe we should have a pinned post that says we've discussed the issue of having a Facebook group and decided to wait until further into our pregnancies when we feel more comfortable in knowing one another. Please don't create a new post asking for a link to a Facebook group that has not yet been created.
I agree with basically everyone. I think a FB group might be fun, but definitely not until later, and definitely not if it's going to include a bunch of randoms. If it had all sorts of people who we didn't get to "know" then what would be the point of waiting?

Maybe uo, but I like being here- do we need to move to fb? I don't even have an account anymore - I have to be careful about my social media presence (work). When the time is right, I'm happy to share my email address and get email threads going with people who may be interested. I did that w certain members I met on another forum. We are still friends today & we even text/ have spoken on the phone. I'm just very careful about social media- makes me nervous !
