Labor buddies?
Or "labour" buddies depending on where you live 
Since so many of us are expecting and we almost always seem to have a date twin, does anyone else want a labor buddy?
Re: Labor buddies?
Lol in my inexperienced knowledge I think it's someone who is either due around the same time (but I think I've seen lots on here that have buddies that arent pregnant so I'm not sure?) and it's someone who you can talk to about pregnancy stuff, someone who can commiserate with you lol and I think most importantly updates the board(s) you post on when you are in labor with updates of how things are going, when the baby is born, and stats on the baby.
Then again Ive never been pregnant before but I've seen the girls on here in the past with them.

This. For this board "labor buddy" is usually a person who updates the board. I've been Lacey's labor buddy and Laura's. When I was Lacey's I definitely wasn't pregnant. The laboring mom usually just texts their buddy any labor progress info, and usually birth stats and a pic or whatnot to post for the rest of us. On my BMB there are "labor buddies" to do the whole discuss pregnancy/L&D/etc with someone due around the same time.
Thanks for correcting me ladies, I wasn't sure
Yvonne - they are setting them up in my bmb too and that's why I thought that what I did lol. I didn't sign up on there because I'm so much closer to all of you ladies and would rather it be someone I know better

Haha thanks! I didn't want to leave anyone out

I dont mind updating the board and stuff... if anyone needs a labor buddy. I am obviously not pregnant, nor anywhere near pregnancy... but I looove new babies.
PS If you want someone to update the boards, you probably wouldn't want someone near your due date, would you... they may have their own L&D to worry about or late pregnancy issues. Just a thought...
Thank you Jessica and Crystal!
I love for you to be my buddies. If one of you are OOT or something you'll both help 
Crystal I have your number. Jessica if you PM me yours I'll text u. We can be each others buddies if you like

I set up the Labour buddies for the August board and while I love my LB, I also found out just how flawed the whole system could be. I asked for only regulars to put their names in, and of course chicks who had only posted on our board once or twice put their names in (who also had a high post count, so it was hard to pick through them). In the end a lot of girls had to seek out a second LB because the one that I assigned fell off the face of the earth.
So at least you know these girls aren't going anywhere.
Yeah, this is the reason I didn't sign up for one on my BMB. That and the fact that most of the time TB annoys the crap out of me! I seriously can't handle the stupid most days, read a book or google if you have that many questions. Also the drama is off the charts on some of those boards...
I agree 100%. I never go to my BMB anymore, but would read occasionally while pregnant.
I post there quite a bit because it's a more active board, but I totally agree with you. I cannot believe how many friggen water breaking posts we've already had, and all of the 'my doctor says that my baby is ginormous so I need to be induced suuuper early' are going to make me crazy. A little drama on the board doesn't bother me though, but it gets ridiculous when it's the same people who cause it over and over.
I still lurk every day, but post less frequently because most of the time I have to bite my tongue when I want to tell them they are idiots. KS3 and her drama makes me stabby. I just can't believe some of these people are real, or just that uneducated and stupid. And yes, the constant water breaking and induction posts are bothering me too. Oh and the whiney posts are getting to me too, there is one chick, the one with the deployed husband, I basically want to reach through my iPad and slap her. I know deployment is hard, I know I had my fair share of whining while T was deployed, but omg if I have to read another of her posts one more time I am going to throat punch her.
I generally don't open the deployment ones, I feel guilty and never have anything to add. I honestly don't know how you do it.. as for ks3pink, I tend to be one of the ones to egg her on. At first, after the gay marriage FFC I thought that she would go away, but nope... what bothers me is how surprised she always acts when someone/everyone disagrees with her 'opinions' and then blames it on 'ignorance'. I get sucked into her bullshit every time :
Lol yeah I've noticed the drama is a bit higher on TB may it's all the hormones? I stay out of any controversial posts. It's not worth my time or stress. I'll definitely be keeping up here as always. Thas why I asked for a LB here
