Creating a private FB group for mommas due mid June '22!

Hi ladies!! For my first kiddo I was in an awesome Facebook group (still am) for any moms due end of December 2017. It's been amazing and a great group of moms to go through the journey with. And share milestones questions and more after birth! Some of us have even met in person! 
I decided to start one for babies due the last two weeks of spring (June 7 to 21). I'm personally due June 13th! I created a couple questions to make sure whomever joins is from this community and it's a private/secret group so no one will see you've joined. It can only be accessible by invite link. Here's the link: https://fb.me/g/2tgLqDTOQ/pIqjlmle
It will be updated every 48 hrs per facebooks policy. I'm going to cap the group at 200 ppl to keep it small enough to get to know everyone!

    I am a skeptic but I always think groups like that are market research or something.

    Completely understand! Honestly having multiple apps is hard for me to keep up with. Sorry if I offended anyone. When I joined a group while pregnant with my son in 2017 it was similar to this, just a way to more easily connect with other momma's due at the same time vs. trying to stay connected on apps that may be more difficult to navigate than Facebook when I easily get notifications etc. That's how I was invited, in a post just like this. And Facebook is where I already have my 2017 group of moms, it's easier to all be in one place. This is the first time I've ever started a group like this and it's been a lot for me to keep up with while working full time and with a toddler. But I just wanted to a safe space to share. So it's just a way for me to start a more personal group to know for the long term, pregnancy, birth, monthly milestones, etc! The group I'm in from 2017 many of us have become good friends, and I'm just more comfortable doing that on Facebook than on others apps. It's all personal preference and I have no issue with sharing more about myself. Right now I'm going to focus on the fb group and getting to know those mommas/mommas-to-be! Wishing you all the very best in your pregnancies. And feel free to delete my post if it was against policy. Was just sharing the word with other June 22 mommas!

    I also think it’s a bit early to be creating a Facebook group - my first BMB our group only has 22 people in it as that’s all that was standing at the end. We created it in week 35. 

    I also think it’s not very BMB to only include mums due in the first 2 weeks of the month  :|

    I also clicked on the link and did a quick request to join and then took it back; because I was curious how many people were in the group. I believe this was early last week, and there were 63 people in the group. I’m curious where all those people came from, it certainly wasn’t from here.

    I do understand the distaste for so many apps, but a huge perk for many people joining boards like this is the anonymity. There are tons of BMBs on Facebook that anyone can join.

    My BMB from Oct2012 created a Facebook group. There were about 158 of us when we started it and now there are 101. Some people left and there was drama for awhile with specific things but we're all still active in it and do the same things here but we do presents and gift exchanges for moms and kids and we meet and see each other. 3/4 of them came to my daughters funeral and I do friendsgiving with some of them each year.  To most of us in the group we are a blended family. 

    I like the idea of the a group branching off from the BMB once we get closer. The Patch as we call ourselves wasn't created until right before our babies were born.
