A lot of people knew I was big into Weddingbee, so when talking about things I've read, I'll say, "I read it on this new site, Hellobee, that's like Weddingbee for babies." I don't think it's that unusual for women who are waiting to TTC to read "mommy blogs." But I never let on that I am active in the community. heffalump on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-141238 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:47:24 +0000 heffalump 141238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I don't want my real life friends to know all of my business.

Otherwise i haven't really told anyone about it.

I usually say something about hearing about a website but don't let them know that I am on it as much as I am or that we're TTC. littlebug on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-141045 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:56:18 +0000 littlebug 141045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. If I reference it all, I just say something generic about reading something somewhere. cupcakemama on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-141001 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:29:09 +0000 cupcakemama 141001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Similar to pp, I haven't because I would like to retain privacy.

I don't want my friends to know for sure that we are trying. Once a LO is on the way I will tell my friends for sure. I've felt like a bit of a rat already, because they will tell me their problems and I think I could refer them to something I've read here, but then the cat will be out of the bag! skibobrown on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140970 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:20:34 +0000 skibobrown 140970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like my anonymity on this site... it allows me to openly discuss topics that are very personal without worrying about what other people in my life will think. However, I have so far told one close friend about this site, since I thought she would like it. I didn't tell her my screen name, although she might be able to figure it out...

The ones thy know now are only people who I wouldn't mind knowing that we're getting ready to TTC. And only DH and one IRL friend know that I'm a blogger here. I see the word of mouth problem as more of an issue for the TTC crowd than for people who are already PG or have children. I think Wedding Bee should be a source of lots of newbies though because it send super common to get baby fever after the "I do"s.

I'm sad that I don't share because this is such a great place, but keeping my anonymity is important to me.

I like my privacy too much. mediagirl on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140930 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:06:58 +0000 mediagirl 140930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't told any in real life friends/family about it. I have told my online friends about it. I'm weird about talking to friends and family about my "online" life. :-) chopsuey on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140925 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:58:40 +0000 chopsuey 140925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've told a few people about it HLK208 on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140923 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:56:45 +0000 HLK208 140923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Coco Bee: I feel the same way I've only talked to my mom about it also, lol. mrbee on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140918 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:43:45 +0000 mrbee 140918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Coco Bee: Haha you said, "My Space."

I think that some people would think it's weird that I'm addicted to an online forum??? But I am obsessive -this is MY SPACE lol. I want to post here anonymously (although if someone were to find me here, I'm probably pretty easy to figure out), I like having it be my thing. Whereas facebook is public and all my friends see it and comment on it consistently, this is one place where no one IRL will talk about /comment on.

I don't want to feel like I have to censor myself on here. I don't want the worry of anything "getting out."

The people I've told are those who would greatly benefit from it as I have AND who I trust to respect my desire for privacy (ie. not talk to others about the things I write on HB). mrbee on "Have you told your friends that you're on Hellobee?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-told-your-friends-that-youre-on-hellobee#post-140888 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:13:03 +0000 mrbee 140888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One of the interesting things about a parenting/TTC site is that many people don't want to tell other people that they're trying to conceive. So that tends to tamp down word of mouth. At least, that's the theory. So I was wondering: have you told your friends about Hellobee? Do you ever worry about telling other people about the site?
