Ok I know this is a little random, but I am really intrested in how we all heard about Oh Baby.
I heard it advertised on radio. I had been going to another website but it was runnying really slow so tried this one as soon as I started I knew someone. Never looked back really you ladies are awsome I feel like I have a whole host of friend's in syber space.  ------------- Deborah Mum to:

Sorta from NZWP we have had a lot of woman get married then come on over to this site (and we tell the oterh girls on there if they are baby questions to join). But mostly cos my friend kept telling me about how addicted her sister was to the site and that I should join it to see why she is addicted to it. Now I am. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I was looking for info on pregnancy since I was pregnant, when a friend told me about the weekly giveaways on the NZ Woman's Weekly mag website. Saw the Oh Baby ad there. Haven't frequented the NZWW site but got addicted to this one! Those weekly updates on where my pregnancy was at got me hooked... ------------- Andie |

Snap, I'm the same as Maria.. all those years ago I was looking for baby names, the night before PAris was born, signed up with Oh-baby, site was kinda slow (and our computer was even slower!)and didn't have tooooo much on it then.
so forgot and didn't return till paris was about 8 months old when i 'found' it on my favourites list tried the link and found the wonderful ladies with babies the same age as mine, like Lou, and Emma, and Maria, and Tabs and a few others who i think have gone now, all the original bunch of us oldies, lol. Wish i had tried that link sooner than i did, would have helped me through those gruelling first few months with Paris, things might have been different had i been able to share with others like i do now instead of feeling so alone and isolated, all the lovely ladies on here certainly helped me a heap the second time around! I owe alot to having the wonderful support of people who know exactly what I'm going through - all the good and bad stuff. Thank you ladies!!! ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
