P.I.G. Question

[Starfish]

Hi ladies

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...

[Arimeh]

I went with people who I felt supported me the very most through my pregnancies

[blessedatlast]

With DS I went with someone I knew IRL.. With the twins, I didn't know anyone on here so I just gave my Mum my log in details and she posted for me..

[Jaycee]

I had a friend who I'd met through bb do it for me

Is there anyone you feel has been particularly supportive or helpful to you?

If you're not close to anyone in particular, I'd be happy to

[TeniBear]

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.

Really!!!! I always thought it would be a huge honour. Maybe Im a bit weird

One of the ladies that I have become close to in my belly buddies group will be announcing for me (if he ever arrives)

I have her on my Facebook and also her mobile number so she will know when things happen

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!

Mine was just someone who I thought would like to do it. And she made me an awesome new avvy as part of the package. Wins all round.

This time I decided to pick someone in the same time zone though

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

ROFL Audax, my time zone served me well for your midnight birth

Just ask whoever you have a girlcrush on, I doubt anyone would turn you down!

[Jakabella]

I chose one of the most awesome ladies I know and who supported me through the whole preg

[KitFaerie]

*girlcrush* digging it.

I asked people who are important to me and who I trust with all the gory details. My first PIG rocked and I have every faith in the second.

I'm having way more trouble with a snappy PIG announcement signature than the actual decision!

DS1 - I did it myself.
DS2 - I SMSed all the mods and whoever was fastest did it. I think it was Rouge.

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.

[Beatrix]

Hmmm I need a PIG. Maybe I will make people apply LOL

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

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!

[LuluHB]

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???
