My March 15 Moms group started a Facebook offshoot and we have been together for almost 2 years. We talk almost every day and are planning a get together in the spring. One of our members attendees a HB brunch recently and someone mentioned this is not always the norm.
The questions about mom friends/mom groups got me thinking. I know it's online but this group of 30 are who I go to for almost everything.

Yes, we have an active FB group and I have plans to meet up with a couple of them this summer when Paw Patrol is in town.

I voted twice - May 2012 moms are on FB only now. We are a pretty tight group (have been talking since Weddingbee days). Literally talk every day. Many of us have met and they are dear friends!
December 2014 is also a very close group! We have a FB group that isn't very active, but we are very active on HB still. It's a wonderful and very supportive group of women.

The October 2012 group is on Facebook. We are not so active but always there for each other. 
The February 2014 group seems to have dissolved after we had our babies.

@avivoca: awesome! I'm meeting up with the only other Oregon member next week. It's taken us this long because I don't like driving and she does not drive at all. @winniebee: Thanks for sharing! I can't imagine my life without these ladies. They have eased my transition to motherhood.

I pop into the March 15 group occasionally (hey @youboots: ) and now belong to December 15 group- we are active but nowhere near the March group.

My Nov 2013 group is pretty active on FB. My Jan 2016 group seems to be dissolving, but I'm not very active on it either...
@youboots: you must have a Houston bee in your due date thread - we just had that conversation at our last brunch.

@winniebee: @snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: December 2014 Mamas FOREVAH!
My March 2013 group isn't AS active as the chatty Dec '14 ladies, but we definitely still regularly keep in touch and post updates to each other. Although we changed the group to Spring 2013 to be more inclusive since the February and April groups weren't as active as ours and wanted to join us.

@mrs.shinerbock: yup! I was shocked that everyone in every month is not like us. But as diverse as we are it's really low drama which is unique for an online group. Many of our members have left HB because of drama though.

Our birth club group has migrated over to Facebook (Aug 14). We were much more active in the earliest months (we now have almost 2 year olds), but we still post fairly frequently. We have supported each other through difficult times and even exchange Christmas cards. We've never had a meet-up, mainly because none of us are close in proximity.
I talk to @jape14: and/or @swurlygurl: almost every day (if not every day). They are from my birth club group.

Yes. Those girls are my rock. I could call on any one of them at any time.

Another shout out to Dec. '14 moms! @winniebee: @snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: @Adira:
I'm IG and Facebook friends with many of them.

@youboots: Same - no drama and several of our members are no longer active on HB, but remain active on FB.

@mrs.shinerbock: I think so many of us in the Jan 2016 were 2nd-time moms, so it's harder to keep up. I know it is for me! I was MUCH more active on the Jan 2013 board than I am on Jan 2016.
I follow several of the Jan 2013 moms on IG. It's so fun watching our kids age together and see what they're doing!

@MrsRcCar: Shout out to my fellow Oct 2012 Mama (though he's late Sept 
).
Both of my groups aren't super active, but we check in once every so often or when we're struggling. Love having the support of others who are going through some of the same transitions we are.

Yes! My April/May/June 2012 group are very tight. We talk almost daily on FB. We are truly there for each other.
The August 2014 group is also on FB but we don't talk as much.
Overall, I've made a ton of great friendships via HB even outside of my birth groups.

I still chat with several of the lovely mamas from the June 2012 group, though we don't have a FB group. I'm hoping the August 2016 group can keep up after babies -- having them is one of the best things about being pregnant now. xo

I have a fb group of members from weddingbee. We were extremely active and close and completely drama free for about 2 years and then the past 6 months have been different. There was drama llama and ever since it's been down hill....

My Dec 2013 group was small to begin with and not very active. Most seemed to have disappeared and I only see a few still on from time to time.

It's funny, I was actually a member of two of the more active groups (December 2014 and March 2015) but left due to miscarriage. I am a part of July 2015 and we aren't really active on our HB thread and are much more active on FB. I lean on their knowledge a lot.

@littlebug: hi friend!!
i follow many of my fellow jan '13 mamas on IG and FB and consider them friends!
we have an oct '15 FB group and it's not as active, but i am friends with a couple of them outside of HB and FB!

The April '15 moms were really active on here during pregnancy but a lot of the ladies don't post anymore and the ones that I recognize that are still on here don't post much, myself included.

The August 2012 group never did a Facebook group, but we're still in contact through FB in general. My other due date group (June 2015) didn't do a FB group either. I guess my kids like being born in months where facebook groups are active.

December 2012 and July 2015 here! They don't seem so active on HB though and I never knew about FB groups! Miss my birth month mamas!

@littlebug: holla!
Love my January mamas!! (2013, 2015, 2016)
And my December 2014 mamas too!

Oct. 12 and March 15 here. As most have said March 15 is very active, we talk daily. Oct 12, our kids are older but we still check in and post pictures

@MrsRcCar: back! Be sure to let me know how N's appointment goes when you have it!

@avivoca: I'm so jealous! Love our October 2013 moms though. Our FB group is pretty small so it feels less like a "group" and more like a chat with friends
