    P.I.G

    HI!! I was just thinking, I don't have a post-it-girl!
    My sister posted ds' birth last time, but she's not on here often anymore. So, this time I was thinking someone else.

    But the people I had in mind are already PIG for others, and some of those others are due at the same time.

    So, how did you chose your PIG? Should I just be my own?

    TIA

    I had someone who I speak to regularly do mine. And I was a P.I.G for someone recently, and I think she chose me as we're in regular contact (but not too sure).

    I chose my pig because I had known her for ages lol only over the net though. I'd choose your own. There's heaps of people I'd love to post my ba

    choose whoever you want! I'm a PIG to 4 people, it's no hassle, I'm sure whoever you ask will be honoured to have been asked

    I went with PZ because she's the member I feel closest to, plus I was already thinking I would ask if she could be my doula anyway so I got the package deal

    For Ianto I didn't have one, because I was still kinda a newbie and although I said a few times in my buddies thread that I would like someone to do it for me, no-one took me up on it.

    I agree, pick someone that you're close to, it doesn't matter who.

    My hubby did my announcement both times (the first was 1.30am LOL). Next time I will be doing my own, but that's part of my healing process from needing to have a scheduled c/section

    Also, I picked someone other than the people I'm PIG for, because although I'm close to all of them, I didn't want to show favouritism hehehe

    DS1 I hadn't thought about, a BB member who called me asked if I wanted her to do it!!

    DS2 I picked a friend I was close to and actually I did her 2nd.

    Was hard as so many special people on BB to me.

    Think about who you speak to frequently or value there contributions.

    I need one too Scone. My PIG for DD2 will not be living in Australia when this next bub is born.

    She offered to be my PIG last time, and I hadn't even thought about it but was so honored that she'd do that for me. Maybe this time I will again wait until someone offers to do it for me

    I was my own. I did have someone but they stopped hanging out on BB, so just ended up doing it myself!
