May Randoms

Re: May Randoms

  • @ktholysz thanks for looking into this!! I think august did the same and they had some trouble getting it started but hopefully it’s not too bad. I agree we should allow in regulars and have a participation req of some sort for others. I don’t think we should have a strict cut off time though (for the PG) to give people more time to participate. However for FB I think it should be more strict since we have a lot of personal info on there. However do we still think we should have some sort of verification thing for the private group? Or save that for FB?  Like post a pic with your bump/SN/date/specific item?
    lets also create a thread once it’s up so people know it’s a thing since idk how many will read these randoms.

  • @greyl I think it would be fine to have to verify that we are actual pregnant mothers joining the private group since as some of us shared we’d be more comfortable sharing pics of our babies on such a group! I would post a pic of me/my bump as well as my baby on a private group but I’m careful not to post any pictures on the wide open internet! What is SN? Haha

  • @ktholysz thanks for taking the time to research and start the group! 
  • Okay so I haven’t made great progress on the group. Support replied to my email and said “try from your desktop to create a group” I don’t see a button to do that at all on the app or browser version. So I looked back and May 2020 said “go to community then click on groups and there is a button to create new group” I don’t see that button on mine at all. Can anyone check and see if they have that button? 






  • I don’t have that button either! But I can try to look on my computer sometime this week to see if it would be there from my computer! 
  • I'm looking. I found the groups but not sure how to create. Let me poke around

  • Thanks @mflowers929! Do you know where we would find the invite? Or do we just click on the link you sent and join that way?

  • Ugh the bump is not making this easy 😂
    I clicked the link and clicked join group and it made me answer why I want to join the group and when I clicked ok it said it’s a duplicate entry. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll try from my computer another day I’m too tired and lazy to get my computer out right now haha 
  • Okay just figured out that you have to click her invite link while using a desktop/laptop browser. Then you will be taken to the group and click on join! 
  • @ktholysz did you have to submit an answer to why you want to join or does it not make you do that when you’re on a computer?
  • @momofmiracles31889 on the computer it takes you to the group when you click on the invite link in your messages. It won’t ask for an answer. 
  • I’ll post a discussion about how to accept etc. right now. 
  • I don't have an invite in my messages and when I use the link here and answer the question I get the same error message both on laptop and on mobile.
  • If the invite isn't working, I can always delete and have you send a request. It's probably not working because the invite is already in place.

    I didn’t see an invite but I clicked join from my phone, but it gave me an error, I’ll try from desktop. 

    Edit to add: I found in my inbox my invite from @mflowers929
  • elsie42elsie42 member
    Ok it worked for me once I did request desktop site (on mobile, or just use a desktop). I clicked the link from the message and then there was a list of groups and next to that one it said “join” and “decline”. Clicked join and it brought me in. I had to be on the desktop site to see it.

  • I, for the life of me, cannot find my inbox when I switch to “desktop” on my phone. And I get the duplicate message on the app as well.  :(
  • @chasingroygbiv you can click on your name in any thread or do this step:




  • I had the best luck doing it from my desktop verses the web browser on my phone. I’m sorry this is such a pain. They really need to make this more user friendly! 
  • I may have screwed up some of the invitations lol. I was adding names pretty fast and it kept giving me the "error-spam" message. I just checked my inbox and there's definitely a few that, although they're showing up on the list for the group, are not showing as that I sent a message to them. I'll go through and try to fix that

    I would be interested in joining a private bump group. I would hope there would be a screening process though. My last group, May 2019, we had to take a bump photo holding a piece of paper with our bump name on it and the date. 

    ETA: once we joined we had two weeks to upload the photo, mods sent private messages to anyone who hadn’t done it asking it to be done immediately or they would be removed from the group. Before removal there was a post about who was being removed and why.

  • @greyl who would turn down bacon even it is was an accidental order lol Sounds like a mistake my DH would make lol

    @robyn2201 check out the private group post @mflowers929 posted the link to request to join.
  • @robyn2201 it’s good that you still get to see them before your Anatomy scan. It stinks that they pushed it back to 23 weeks. But maybe you’ll get better pictures of the girls! 
  • @ktholysz right??? I think it’s because DoorDash is so much extra money and he was already ordering sausage so I guess he didn’t think it was necessary but like I had just mentioned it before I ordered mine so why??? Men sometimes!! Haha

    i haven't been on my desktop yet today but I’ll join the PG once I can get on. H is bugging me about packing I’m hiding with my phone right now lol 
  • @greyl I would be so upset if I didn’t get my bacon. I few weeks back I ordered hello bistro for a salad but got fries with it because fries on salad is delicious. They forgot the fries and I cried. It was a culmination of things, but no fries was the kicker.

    To be in the PG do you have to always be on desktop or just to get in? My desktop is not good to have to use it every time.
  • @itsmehere1212 I just had to accept the invite from my inbox on my desktop, and now that I'm in I can access it no problem from the app. 
  • So I'm a bit concerned, but it's lessened a lot since the incident happened but figured I'd share.
    Earlier I was laying down in bed on my back and the cat jumped right on top of my bump and used it as a springboard to get to the other side of the bed. I was stupidly worried about Scarlett because even though he's not that heavy, what if he broke a bone, etc.
    She seemed to shift and get a bit active after it happened and she's moving around bunches right now since I've eaten, but do any of you think I should worry about it?
  • @itsmehere1212 it’s so frustrating when your order gets messed up! I did chick fil a drive thru the other day and said I wanted their honey roasted bbq sauce and when I got home there wasn’t any in the bag. I was so disappointed. 

    @raesky1111 they are pretty well protected in there and I’m sure she is fine. My kiddos have bonked my belly pretty good before.

  • @raesky1111 I worry too when my daughter tries to jump on me but like was said above the baby is well protected.
