P.I.G. Question

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...

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

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..

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 :)

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 :lol: But I didn't really feel close to anyone else.

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 :lol:

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!

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

*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.

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

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???

I think its Post It Girl Lulu :)
