Post here if you'd like to be admitted to the October 2021 BMB private group. I think the tentative plan is to move to a private group here on the bump and maybe move to a private/secret FB group sometime after that.
Voting: if you recognize a poster as meaningfully contributing to the Oct 2021 BMB (sharing support for others, asking or answering questions, contributing to multiple threads, etc), love-it their post as a "yes" vote to admit them to the private group. Required # of votes still TBD in discussion thread.
For fun, instead of just posting a boring "I'd like to join the private group, please!" let's share birthday predictions instead!
EDD: October 18th Predicted Birthday: October 19th (DH has a lot of same birthdays in his family and 3 in October 6th, 19th and 25th, 6th feels too early maybe? and 25th at 41 weeks...woof)
EDD: October 15 Predicted birthday: hmm, I'll say September 24. My daughter was born at 37+1, and although I'd love to not have the complications this time that made that necessary, I also really don't enjoy being that pregnant! 😅
EDD: Oct 12 Predicted birthday: Oct 12. All my babes came right on their due date. And my sister is flying in from out of state to watch my other monsters while we're in the hospital, so I need this one to behave similarly so mama doesn't panic 😅
EDD: Oct. 12 Predicted birthday: Oct. 12. I really have no idea what to expect here, but they said they would induce during week 40 if everything stays the same. I will pick the 12th if I can so I at least get a nice 3-day weekend right before and don't have to go back to work, lol
EDD: 10/20 Predicted: 9/28 With DD I was induced at 38 weeks due to oligohydramnios and IUGR because of the HG. Most of you know I have HG again. So, I feel like it may be 10/6 (following the same pattern of a 38 week induction and delivering within 24 hours). However I will be starting a new job on Tuesday and will be one my feel full-time for 40 hours a week so I feel like I’ll go at 37 weeks (9/28). It just better not be 10/21 because that’s my ex-husbands birthday.
EDD: 10/17 Predicted: 10/17 I have a feeling this baby will be on time! My periods are quite regular and I know when I conceived so I think the date is accurate. Lol i know that doesn't mean anything but I have a feeling he'll be on time. 😂
@madiirosee not yet. The process to get a private group up and running is a lot harder now than it was 2.5 years ago. We’ll post a link when we have modmin access.

my DD was a few weeks early and the way I am feeling right now and knowing I failed my 3 hour, I’m just going to assume this babe will make an earlier appearance as well.
It appears invites on mobile are being lost to the internet. 🤷🏻♀️ Here are screenshots of how to find the group, both from the mobile app AND the desktop website.
MOBILE APP
On the community page, scroll down to “Groups”In the groups tab, scroll to “new groups” and you’ll see the Octo-Moms group.

I believe everyone who requested here has been added to the PG. If you have any trouble getting in, send a PM to me or @chindimples04, or let us know here.
anyone else interested in the PG? It’s pretty small and it would be nice to add a few more of the regulars on here! Even if you dropped off a bit, etc and want to participate let us know on this post!!
@kateshepherd828 you may need to request to join yourself. The invite to the group wasn't going to most people's inboxes. On the app, you go to community, then hit groups and request to join octomoms
If everyone would have me I would love to. With everything going on personally in my relationship and moving I have been pretty busy these last few weeks but we move into our new home in 16 days wnd life will be settled more. I completely understand though if i haven’t been active enough to not be added
@cait32, did you make it to the PG ok? It shows you as in but we haven't seen you! Hope everything is ok. Reach out if you need help accessing the group.

Predicted birthday: October 6th because of what our daughters initials are. But my mom is hoping Oct13th since that is her Birthday
Predicted birthday: Oct 16th (DS was born at 41+5, but I doubt they'll let me go that long this time)
Predicted birthday: hmm, I'll say September 24. My daughter was born at 37+1, and although I'd love to not have the complications this time that made that necessary, I also really don't enjoy being that pregnant! 😅
Predicted Birthday: 10/13.

Predicted bday: Hoping 9/29 because I am done being pregnant and my son's bday is also the 29th. And I only like odd numbers.
Predicted: 9/28
