    It is such an priviledge to be someone's PIG and for me I can't wait to do my PIG duties, I was a Belly Buddy with mine during our last pregnancies and we are quite close and I am honoured to be her PIG. I haven't made mine offical yet, but will soon, I want a couple though, but most certainly will be those whom I trust, who I know will post and whom I know will be honoured to be my PIG

    My PIG was from our 'old' young mums chat thread. I didn't really specify just said to my two special friends that whoever got in first could do it and messaged them both.

    I have posted for a few others and I just asked them if they would like me to post for them. But I am not so close with many anymore I always made an effort to seek out the Buddies thread as some members i know do not venture out of the buddy groups and would not see a BA!

    I was tossing up b/w 2 ppl BG who i knew IRL or MOI who i had started getting to know through my baby buddies group with DD1... in the end i chose MOI, was a way of getting to know her a bit better.. she's such a lovely lady and was so excited to be one of the first to know about DD2.

    I say just pick someone you click with and would be excited to share the news with straight away.. funny i know but imaging you've given birth and your sending txt msg's.. who's the 1st name to pop into your head or who's name do you visualise on your mobile

    If anyone is looking for a PIG i am happy to offer my services, i would consider it an honor, love hearing about births and any excuse to get on BB

    My PIG for DD3 was chosen because we were belly buddies for a second time and I had the privilege of meeting her IRL.

    No-one's actually asked me to be their PIG - I asked cherished1 if she wanted me to be her PIG and she accepted
    to the other lovely ladies
    I never remember asking anyone to do mine, someone asked me and I said 'Sure, would be great' (I'm pretty sure it was Amber )

    ~breeze~ - I'd want you to do my next one - if there ever is a next time!

    No one was my PIG for DS - I just popped on the internet on DH's phone and wrote a quick BA while still in hospital.

    And so far I haven't been anyone's PIG - but hope to one day .

    Yes the beautiful LizJessie offered to my my piggy wiggy and I was so excited I said YES she has been so supportive and such a wonderful BB friend I'm so happy she will be my birth announcer
    The lovely JLeigh asked me to be her PIG over lunch a couple of days after I was chatting with LizJessie and I was so excited I said "this must be what LizJessie feels like being my PIG" heheheh It really is a special being a part of another BB members birth

    Post It Girl! sounds a bit rude in acronym form doesnt it?

    Hj asked me to be her PIG and I was very honoured, she and I were belly buddies with our first, but met through BB when we both had mcs at the same time, shared similar journeys, and now even though we have never met, I truly think of her as one of my closest friends!
    Hopeully one day I can ask her to the same for me..

    Took me a while to figure out what PIG was when i first started, i saw it under someones signature & thought gee thats a bit rude LOL

    I chose TD as we had already exchanged numbers and she's like family to me! Always pirking me up whilst TTC and got just as excited as me when i got my BFP so easy choice..
