[oldbaylover1024]

15w (taken last Friday), STM, 5'4" (shorty short short)

Sorry if it's huge - I'm mobile

ETA: I just realized how small my boobs look in this pic! What the what?!

[scotipino]

17w5d with baby #4- ignore my dumping ground of a dining room table behind me

[shawnabm1320]

oldbaylover1024, I'm 5'4" too - supposedly its average, but I sure feel like everyone is taller than me!

*poof*

14w6d STM

[monicageller]

Everyone's looking great! Do we have first time mamas? It seems like we're all at least second time or more. Is that normal??!

[cosmicav]

Dang you guys, putting your height and making me feel teeny. I am 5'0 ! There isn't a lot of space for this kid to stretch.

14 weeks, STM, team green

I think it is probably because many people here were a part of BMBs when the TB exodus happened, and they followed their BMB at the time to this new site/app. I don't know that a lot of FTMs find this site unless they were here first from TTC. Other websites just come up first when you're a new mom searching for baby info.

15 weeks, FTM, 5'4"

[monicageller]

cosmicav that crossed my mind after I posted. I think that's right.

[linewifekat]

I'll join the 5'4" club lol

[pivot]

My chart the other day said 5'4.5" butttt close enough.

Team 5'4"

[CoffeeOnIce]

Well it's a weak first attempt. We have a high mirror and poor lighting at work (and baby blue tiles LOL), but I gotta start somewhere! 15 w 4 days

monicageller I also ran across some FTMs on other boards that don't feel like they fit in on their BMBs because of all the non-FTMs. Lots of talk about older kids and not much about the new mom stuff.

That doesn't seem fair. I mean, a STM mom talking about her big and is the same thing as listening to a FTM debate which crib to buy or whatever. Be the change, FTMs.

I think there could be more helpful interaction, but I see where they're coming from. If the BMB were primarily FTMs, STM+ moms may lose interest with the exact conversation you're talking about. If we could get FTMs to join en mass, it may be more successful. Perhaps I'll start a thread...

Also keep in mine that I come from the infertility side of things, so there can be some extra anxiety and pain related to prior pregnancies or lack thereof.

Better late than never?

That's too bad. Regardless of your situation, I would hope everyone would feel welcome and be comfortable on their birth month board.

5'7" stm, 16+1
My new maternity swimsuit came in the mail today! It's still a little large, but came in time for DH and I to have our getaway weekend and swim at the hotel

[allisong87]

Finally got around to taking a pic this week.

15w2d, STM, 5'0, BOY!
