I was wondering how you assign who your P.I.G. is? I'd like to have one, but I have no idea how I would go about asking someone, as I don't feel that I know anyone well enough...
First time around I had to do it myself because no-one in my Buddies group took up my offer. Turned out for the best though, because I would have wanted to be the one to break the news that he died anyway.
With DD I went with someone I trusted and felt close to on here. It helped that she was my doula too, so she was able to post without my needing to call or SMS her
I went with someone from my belly buddies group that I felt I'd connected with and had supported me. I originally thought I should ask someone outside the group as we'd likely all be in hospital at the same time But I didn't really feel close to anyone else.
Mine was a gal I really clicked with. We were TTC buddies. Although it took me a lot longer to fall pregnant, she always checked in on me and was so supportive. We still chat. I love my P.I.G!
DS1 was a friend in BB who rang me after getting SMS and asked if I wanted her to announce for me.
DS2 was a good friend on BB who I saw frequently IRL as well.
With Liebs, I asked Butterfly Warrior and was thrilled when she said yes. She introduced me to BB, supported me through my pre-TTC and pregnancy journey and is a gorgeous person.
For Stormy, much as I'd like a PIG, I'm going to be at home and posting for as long as possible, so I may well be able to do my own. Otherwise, I have some of you lovely ladies on my mobile and will say if they get a text they can post on BB!
DD1 was one of my lovely belly buddy ladies. DD2 I think I did myself - we were home very quickly. DD3 I sent a txt to two of the gorgeous women who I've shared the pregnancy and parenting journey with for over 5 years now and one of them posted for me.
I have to ask this really stupid question (I'm blaming this one on sleep deprivation), but what does P.I.G. actually stand for???
