If there is anyone out there who has been silently following along and not posting, or if you wrote on the intro thread and then didn't really post anywhere else, or if you've just found this board and want to jump in PLEASE DO!!!! This is an invitation to anyone who wants to start posting but who hasn't really found the courage to jump in to write a little hello here and start posting along with everyone without feeling weird about it:) We are a small, friendly group and happy for more members!

We will likely be moving to a FB group in February/March and do not want to leave behind anyone who would like to be an active member. So please please please start posting now! Let's make this group more active and make sure anyone who wants to be included in the FB group gets a chance to participate now so you don't get left behind!

    Welcome @gayu1107! I’m glad you decided to join us 😊. How far along are you? How has pregnancy been treating you? Do you have older kids? I hope my questions aren’t intrusive, I’m just curious to hear your story and get to know you

    Hi knotties, welcome! I’m glad you decided to join us. Could you consider changing your username to something more distinctive? Knottie with a million numbers is hard to type out, and it’s hard to tell all the different knottie names apart. Let us know if you have a hard time figuring out how to change your handle, sometimes the bump app settings can be hard to find. 

    I hope you decide to stick around!

    @gayu1107 I totally remember you and definitely don't consider you a lurker; But nice to see you here 😊 

    @knottie784f93e932165202 Congrats mama! Do you know if your new little one is a boy also?

    @Knottie98471257adc45d1f I'm 42 and will be 43 at delivery so you're in good company:) DD2 was born when I was 40. I'm sorry about your losses. I have a similar history and we have a great weekly PGAL (pregnant after loss) thread that keeps me going! Hope you jump in there too if you feel up to it! And I had an anterior placenta with both my girls. Thus is my first time with a posterior placenta and it still shocks me that I can feel so much movement so early!

    I did change my name yesterday. Not sure why it posted with a generated name! Hopefully it will update soon.

    @Panaceia sounds like we have a lot of similarities! I’ll definitely check out the PGAL threads, thank you! With my son, I had a placenta Previa that moved to posterior, and he was super active in the womb, so I felt him constantly! A little disconcerting to be halfway through and still going “Was that her?” Haha

    Knottie98471257adc45d1f yeah, unfortunately it lags like that sometimes 😕. If you log out and then log back in, often that makes it update to your new name. Anyway thanks for changing it!

    @achanceintime welcome! I’m 40, too, 41 before baby girl arrives, and I have a son born July 2020. There are a few of us older/wiser/sophisticated 😂 ladies here so you’re in good company. Look forward to getting to know you!

    I’m a bit of a lurker! I find it hard to keep up with the multiple boards but I enjoy being part of the community. 
    I’m 32 years old, 20 weeks & 2 days with our first. Midwife appt today to discuss results of our anatomy scan. The pregnancy has been going well so far; nausea settled after the first tri, no aches & pains yet, & finally starting to feel some movement! (I have an anterior placenta). Overall feeling very excited (although a little overwhelmed by all the things we still need to purchase. So far we have one solitary onesie that we bought on our honeymoon lol).

    @djunaw13 I don't think I bought anything until I was around 36 weeks with our first...so don't feel bad!!!

    @jessier19 I am almost 20 weeks now. I have a girl who is 3.5. Both of them will have the same bday month. 🙂 I feel better now that I am in the 2nd trimester.  First trimester was was worse than my first pregnancy.

    I haven’t been too active recently!  It would be awesome to switch over the a Facebook group because that is easier to manage and be engaged in.

    Same with @Sarah0335
    I find the bump to be less user friendly on the cellphone than Facebook. I only get notifications is I’m on my laptop which is rarely! How can I get notifications on my cellphone? 
    I am so active in my first bump group and we’ve been talking for 6 years and having our second meet up in July! They’ve become my best friends! Hoping to have a similar group here :)

    @MusicalFamily I think the only way to see them on your phone is to be looking at the page right when the notification comes through. It pops up on the bottom and then goes away. So not helpful at all 😭. I get it too. I'm super close with my last BMB and am really looking forward to moving to Facebook so we can chat easier.

    I’m down with an earlier move to FB, I think we did a month before with my last BMB, but earlier sounds great to me

    @gembud agreed. I think it’s nice to have a FB group established in the last trimester so a month or so from now for folks with early due dates.

    My April 18 group moved over in Feb 18 I think. It was nice to have a month to get the feel of the group established before our early babies started arriving! FB is so much easier to keep up and respond than TB.

    I good with whatever you guys want to do. My work doesn't allow me to have a FB account, but I set one up for my last BMB just so I could keep in touch with everyone...so my FB account looks super sketchy, but I promise I'm real. @gembud can vouch for me 😁

    @Panaceia your school district says you can’t have a personal Facebook page?! Wow!

  • PanaceiaPanaceia member
    @appleblossom8317 Our union advises us not to have one. I have seen more than one teacher reprimanded and almost lose their job for seemingly harmless things on their personal, private pages (like holding a drink in a photo, or posting a picture of themselves in the school where they work), so I have no desire to even take a chance. It is not "forbidden", just isn't advisable and to me isn't worth the risk. I'm not really a huge fan of social media anyways so honestly I don't miss it.

    Yeah I have a fb with like 4 friends (from my other bmb). I quit FB last year in general, but couldn't quit my bmb!! @Panaceia and I can be sketchy friends 😂

    Haha I quit Facebook and then got it back to join my last BMB. Now I'm addicted to all the BST clothing groups. My daughter's whole wardrobe comes from the Baby Boden and Hanna Andersson page 😅.

    @nursejenn5 We did the same thing. Bump selfie with the date, username, and a specific household item:)

    This is my first time with a birth month group. I didn't know this was a thing with DD.  I just used another app and followed along with babys the size of....and all that.  No idea there was a community.  I don't post much here but I do try to follow along, just find it difficult some days to respond.  I'd love to be included in a Facebook group when the time gets closer. 

    @313Meg I'm so sorry you are going through that! I can only imagine you are overwhelmed. Thats alot to take in.  

     My situation is different, we are awaiting our next ultrasound for baby boy at 26 weeks to check a choroid plexus cyst in his brain and a dilated renal pelvis.  I'm not entirely sure what all that means.  My dr seems to think its nothing and will resolve itself, meanwhile I'm trying not to assume worst case scenario. ( I'm the absolute worst when it comes to that, I overthink EVERYTHING )

    @313Meg I’m sorry for that stress! A lovely doctor mom in my previous BMB went through the same thing and I’ve followed along in her journey virtually with her son through surgeries and braces. He’s a happy, running, trouble making toddler now. If it would help you, once we transition to the private FB group I’d be happy to connect the two of you. ❤️❤️❤️

    @friends-fan I'll be thinking of you! I know how stressful the unknown is. FX that it all resolves. We have something on babys heart we are watching too, but they think it will resolve. I guess those docs know more than us! :)

    @rachelredhead Thank you! I'd definitely be interested in chatting with her down the road. I know his condition is minor in the grand scheme of things. But it's still been emotional.

    @313Meg and @friends-fan I know the worried feeling. My last appointment my doctor said the baby had extra fluid in her kidney. If it doesn’t resolve on its own she will need surgery at 6 months. I’ve been trying not to freak out about it.

    It seems like a majority of people here want a FB group. Should we have a separate post for a poll? I can create the poll and the group. We can also do a selfie with a household item for safety. Let me know your thoughts. 

    @Panaceia I’m super private on Facebook because of being a teacher. Any little thing can jeopardize your job. I love FB and have had it since it came out to college students back in the day Lolol
