Topic: Due October 2016 Posted: 08 December 2015 at 10:55pm |
Welcome to the Due in October 2016 thread and CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy! What an exciting and amazing journey you are now on! Welcome also to the OHbaby! community :) Here you will get to make some fantastic friends, learn from others experiences, share a tear and a giggle with each other. We have two Due in Threads created each month: 1. PUBLIC: The public one is great for general chat and banter 2. PRIVATE: The private thread is password protected and is great for you to share photo's of baby bumps, make sure noone can read about it before you let the ‘cat out of the bag’, and generally talk about stuff you don’t want public reading ☺ If you want to join the private group (at the bottom of the forum home page) then the first peson in the gropu can Private message me or skiltz and then after that, that person is a ‘password keeper’ who do a little shout out on the public page saying PM me if you want the password from then on anyone who wants the password or to be a password keeper can do a shout out saying they are free to be pm’d also for the group’s password. If you want one of those fancy pregnancy tickers along the bottom of your post, you can get one here: http://lilypie.com/Maternity_and_Pregnancy.php Please do sign up to the weekly pregnancy emails - you can do that by adding your pregnancy in your profile (you can also add your scan pictures when you have one and bubs will be there every time you login to the website). We recommend signing up the other half as well so they know what you're going through and how baby is growing too :) COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT We have an amazing community of mums and mums-to-be that has been going since 2001. You are now part of a special group of mums and mums-to-be. The OHbaby! forums have been the envy of many a forum, that has created friendships that last a lifetime. Have supported some mums through post natal depression and are rich with conversation from past and present mums who talk about everything! Kids health, chicken pox relief, reflux relief, morning sickness relief, relationships – you name it! We ask that where possible if you meet here you keep your community and friendships here in the forums online, though we have seen many mums over the past decade become life long friends, and raise all their children together chatting online and catching up in person from time to time when they organise catch ups from around the country! Most importantly, we don’t control what you see on the forums. We don’t prioritise popular posts, the forums are simple and friendly, and no advertisers are allowed to post on the forums (we had side ads sometimes, they keep us going, but never posts in the forums) ☺ This is your space and your community of mums. What we offer here on the forums is very special as each mum from each due in thread, with older babies, with toddlers or more kids – are all here, interacting, reading, chatting and giving support and advice in a caring community ☺ Pretty special! So! We wish you a great pregnancy, no awful sickness all smooth sailing and lovely sleep-through-the-night babies and great feeders! If that doesn’t exactly happen, feel free to come here and chat about it with other mums and mums-to-be and check out the sites awesome pages of stories, expert advice and more! This site is growing every day with new content so be sure to check-it out ☺ Wishing you THE VERY BEST PREGNANCY!!! From the team at OHbaby!

Eeek I'm nervously excited that babe 3 will join us in October! EDD 7/10/16. Have done about 6 tests in the last 3 days and all have faint lines so trying not to get too excited just in case. Congrats to everyone :)

Haha I did like 3 first response ones in the last few days and they all had a really faint line, then last night I did a pregnosis brand one thinking it would confirm it - but it said not pregnant! So I went and bought another box of first response ones this morning and yay, first test had 2 good clear lines...yay! So hopefully wont need the other two tests :) And won't ever recommend Pregnosis ones to anyone!

Hi everyone - so exciting! I don't know how to create a private one but was on a Facebook one last year briefly and found you didn't really interact that much as it was so large and only some people posted !

With mine we had 45 women join and around 36 of us are still on there to this day. We are still active guess every group is different :) I find these forums great but hard to keep up with and go through. Ill make a Facebook group if it hasn't already been made, which it might not have since we are early :)

Hey so I made a secret group on facebook :) If you would like to add me as a friend (temporarily) i can add you to the page. Rather than leave it public while people are joining. That way our facebook friends etc will not see any of it. Ill paste link to my page, can search by name too. Samantha Robertson - picture of me and my husband on wedding day holding hands in middle of a country road lol.
