I have started a July moms facebook group! I would like to keep it small, like less then 100 women, so once I reach that many members I will be deleting this post
My first baby I joined a group when I was 4 weeks and it was great! There were some losses, but it was great those women to have other women who understood
I had two FB groups my first pregnancy. One started as soon as we were pregnant and the other was from here, started in third trimester.
The one that started from here is VERY close and lots of activity. We do similar posts as here but not as strict. Many of us have met at least one mom/baby, we send xmas cards, do holiday exchanges and support each other big time. I much prefer to wait My original group is nice (I recruited a gal from there to here for our 2nd pregnancies) but it is not the same as The Bump FB group

hard pass.... That typically happens muuuuch later. I'd like to avoid inviting the trolls into my personal life.
I'd recommend you start with an intro post here Introduce yourself here! then take some time to let everyone get to know you before we make the leap to FB.
I agree with @blaf322@KatieEl waiting until the 3rd trimester is better. My O18 BMB moved to Facebook during that time, and I've really enjoyed it. It helps weed out the less active people and of course the trolls.
I find it super annoying when people come to a board like this and tell everyone to jump ship for FB. Too many trolls out there.

Same... she’s made 3 posts, total, in all of her time on TB. And the one outside of this group wasn’t even about FB so I find her story hard to believe.
@milkt there have been lots of catfish in bump history, especially on BMBs. Most people choose to get to know each other before sharing their names, photos, and other personal info on Facebook.
@milkt really? Yes, girl. My friend’s BMB had someone, midway through their pregnancies, post that they’re all idiots, he/she isn’t pregnant, and they’re all super easy to fool. Like, why? So, yes, trolls exist all over the Internet.
Current pregnancy - First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.
@milkt YES! If you go way back in the bump there was a time where someone catfished the entire BMB and somehow got a bunch of them to send her money, when she in fact was never pregnant. This is why I dont tell people my name on here, or show my face. Internet safety is real.
