Where is everybody??

It could also be the time of year. Most babies are born in September through November. All those women have had their babies, have yet to get pregnant, or are in their last trimester. I was due in November last time, so maybe that's why there seems to be less now ? Lol just grasping for possible connections.

Haha. I am just thankful that today I have the time to leisurely go through what is available to read. Not feeling too well so my husband and son went grocery shopping without me.

Last night was hilarious though. We were eating dinner and I suddenly got sick and ran to the toilet. My son laughed the whole time, pointing at the bathroom and imitating the sounds I was making.

my dates are only 3 weeks out from what they were when I was pregnant with #1 so I don't think thats it lol

During my first pregnancy back in 2011 I found the whole board was very active! Now everywhere has gone quite

Well what are some ways to keep things moving on this site??
I don't have friends that I keep in touch with regularly let alone ones in the same town as me. You guys are my friends and voices of reassurance. Would love to see a bigger network of users on here

We could all make a thread in the pregnancy buddies page for all of us to keep up to date? I'm on the April due date buddies page but they also have a facebook page which im not on and i miss out on a fair bit because they mostly post on Facebook. I prefer to stay on here.

I think that's a good idea!

I notice the April thread is very quite compared to the other groups in there

 

[Powell130]

We are team blue again!!

 

[babyjan]

Aww congrats Powell!

I haven't been on here in ages. I moved to Facebook because there was a group for February due dates only, which suits me better. I don't like the way FB groups work, I would MUCH rather be on a February board on here, but they won't do them. I know there was a February thread for a while, but that got hard to keep up with. It's much better when it's organised into month groups and then topics within that group. I'm gutted cause I feel like I have no where really to go that I belong to!! I was on another forum with my other kids and the birth boards for their months were awesome. I made so many lasting friendships. This place just feels like it encouraged transience rather than planting roots with one group of women. To me anyway.

I had a hard time in the February group thread here too. It was hard to keep up with for awhile but has slowed a lot now. I'll read sometimes but don't usually say anything. I don't do well in large groups in real life and maybe that's why I'm not very social there too lol

Sausages, are you on the February Facebook group??

 

[EmmyReece]

I actually ended up stopping posting in the April thread as I always felt a bit swept under the rug and ignored in there.

Congrats on team Powell

 

[Powell130]

Lets just make our own group!

 

[babyjan]

Yeah I think so lol! We could have one in the Pregnancy Buddies section?

 

[DaisyDreamer]

I like the sound of that. What would we call it?

 

[dani_tinks]

I remember when second tri was really busy back when I had my son. I made some great friends through here xx

 

[Qmama79]

Did you start a new group? Can I join?

That's more or less the reason why I didn't join that thread, by the time I came across it already had loads of pages, so felt like I would be an outsider if I joined it.

Sounds like a good idea to me
