Re: Babies Born ~ March 2014
You've got to be joking - NONE of the people who started in the Belly Buddies thread have been in here, either?
Well, I'm not facebooking my Baby Buddies, and I am hoping some newbies who have come to BB since the birth of their March babies come on board to share their experiences :) Eternal optimist? Maybe, but I do beg of you (general 'you', no-one specific) not to poach members onto a FB private group who *may* come into here. I paid good money for a life sub and for my 3rd and last child I have NO-ONE to share her with as a Baby Buddy, so don't be rude, please. That said, I will always have my previous 2 buddies groups.
So, my baby was born on the 18th. That's all I'm sharing until someone else jumps in :p
Re: Babies Born ~ March 2014
Wow, way to make us feel welcome here. The last time I was on BB the thread hadn't been created yet so it was a bit hard for me to post in here. And since then I've been busy with a very fussy newborn and very spirited 18 month old. And I didn't post in the belly buddies group as it didn't feel right posting about my pregnancy and then baby, after Plagued posted about losing her precious little boy.
For the record, no one was 'poached' to Facebook. A few of us just happen to find it easier to get in Facebook than we do bb given we're on our phones, not computers. Not to mention it is private and there are some things we just don't want to share on a public forum. You chose not to take part in that.
Re: Babies Born ~ March 2014
It's near the end of March, Miss Dee - I was the first to post (I'm not the welcoming committee, just the only one to look for and find our thread :) ) after a whole birthing month has just about passed. It would have been nice to find even just dates of when you guys popped.
I've been in buddies groups with loss twice before and it didn't spell the end of our groups - it's the way it often goes that some members will have an adverse outcome, and that is part of the value of sharing that time together. Not to mention the joy of sharing with them their next pregnancy that goes to term and when they follow the rest of us in our baby buddies groups from time to time. It's a forum that deals with the whole gamut of pregnancy and fertility.
I'm well within the T&Cs to feel disappointed that it was all taken off a forum I can use (I don't have a smart phone or tablet and I spend time at a laptop using programs for other tasks) and have been using since 2005 :)
In addition, I wish you girls the absolute best for you and your babies and your friendship circle, even though you've left BB. I do feel like the kid who got left out of lunch time play for not having the Cabbage Patch Doll, though ;)
This isn't the Mummy Wars and I'm not going in for a peeing competition about how much busier we are than the next person. I realise you girls have left and my post was actually more for people who might come across the thread who weren't in the Belly Buddies to please not take it off BB. Because, though you may think it was personal against just you girls, Miss Dee, it has happened before to other buddies threads and that is why I qualified my post with the 'general "you"'. I really meant that, it wasn't an empty disclaimer. You girls have a new reality and I'm happy you found a great dynamic. I've been burnt by doing FB with people I don't know from BB and it was far too soon for me to do a FB hook up in belly buddies. Hence, sticking to BB. Hence changing my username and stripping my signature of the details I used to have.
Meanwhile, you don't have to have been a belly buddy to be in the baby buddies and if anyone else out there uses a computer interface anymore, then I'm here!

Wow. Just wow. Baby Jake passing was not an 'adverse outcome'. It was devastating. He was a person. We got to see photos of his first cuddle with his mumma, we got to see him grow, the strength in his eyes. Our hearts broke when he passed and we have mourned him. All of that is nothing compared to what Plagued has felt. How dare you say that was just an 'adverse outcome'. How insensitive can you be.
I can't even be bothered to address the rest of the stupidity in your post. Good luck to you.
