Before pics and thinking out loud

[anaberry]

Hey, so we all know there wont be a bump for a while, but before our over eating makes our bloat really show, i was wondering if you would all like to post "before" pics and at the end of our pregnancy place the "after pics?"
Obviously its only if you want to!!

Also, my old bmb laid down some ground rules at the beginning, which i really liked because it kept us pretty much in order from the beginning. I remember one of the first rules we all agreed on was no naked belly pics. I really appreciated that one!
What say you-
Yay or nay?

The other one is to not assume fffc is flame free. If youre going to confess something really wrong, we will call you out (because we love ya). Any other rules I am missing out on?

Illnpost a before pic of me later today, wwhen its not 2 am!

I'm not keen on bump pictures for myself at all. I'm only talking about myself -obviously anyone who loves making a record should do so! Maybe it's because I'm a very long way from being thin :-)

I lurked on my previous board for a long time before beginning to post, so I didn't look at Hump Day pictures in those days. But I am a lot more interested in HDBD when it's baby day rather than bump day!

And I don't think anyone really thinks that either UOs or confessions are necessarily flame free, do they?

ETA: I mean, when someone is genuinely out of order, not "OMG how can you say you hate purple, it's the best colour in the world, you must be a horrible person who juggles puppies for fun."

purple the first thing people say when theyre getting flamed is "i thought this was supposed to be flame free". Also, when something is really flameworthy someone might send out a batsignal for other people to come in and flame.
Ex. A lady that went bye felicia on our board confessed she was tired of hearing us complain about bfeeding. She said some people were just not meant to breastfeed. Needless to say, that did not go well. Even bullybutt (i think) participated in that thread to flame that person out. The term wet ute came from that conversation.
Theres your bit of history for today! Lol

anaberry, yes, J15 has sometimes had visitors from elsewhere because of flame worthy things that have been said. I've never seen anyone claim that they expected it to be flame free, though :-)

Really?! Maybe my board had more noobies?

I love bump pics! But I definitely agree with the statement "no naked bumps"...There was a girl in my July 11 group on TB that posted a pic in her bra & undies and let's be real, no one wants to see that.

HBDB sounds like fun!  I agree- no naked bumps.

I promise I won't show a naked bump.

You guys are just making it really tempting for me to post a 40 week naked bump picture.

Is this where I pretend that I didn't take a profile picture of myself at 4w in all my post-IVF bloated glory? LOL

I didn't know naked bellies were so scandalous! Completely naked - sure - but bellies won't make me blush. However, I think digging into the recesses of my mind I did covered belly until my last week or two, and then I did both. Just my 2 cents, in case there are some who really want to do bare bellies.

[bullybutt]

NAKED BELLIES THAT HAVE BABIES IN THEM? Burn this motherfucker down! Ya'll are crazy.

[littlelion]

I'm not sure I'll be taking bump pictures. My last bmb had someone post a naked bump pic. I could care less, but I may not stop to look and LT though.  

hey,Becca, I just realized you're having twins! Congrats! Hope you have as smooth as a pregnancy as possible.
