I was never a lurker, I just joined right in! I wasn't very active right away though.
Did you lurk before joining HB?

I joined right away, but wasn't very active until fairly late in my pregnancy.

Yes and no. I was more interested in the blogs and created an account to comment on the blogs. I love the visual pictures that the blogs provided. I'll be honest and say the boards were not that interesting to me until I became a mommy which was only 5 months ago. I really didn't know about the TTC boards until recently. That would have interested me to join some chat threads when we were TTC.

I lurked for a little while (I don't remember - maybe a few days) but I've gotten more active over the year.

Nope. I knew about it but never really came over here until I got my BFP then I figured what the hell, might as well jump on in!

I lurked for at least 6ish months? I was pregnant and liked reading the posts. I made this account after LO was born, and I'm still not very active.

I lurked for a few months before joining. I'm still not very active. I'm pretty shy, even online.

Yes. I still lurk more than I post, but hopefully someday I'll be more active and have more to contribute.

I think I had to join since it was in Beta but I didn't really post that much in the beginning.

No lurking here, I joined in right away. I think it helped that it was a pretty new and smaller community, so it was easy to join right in. It was also just 6 weeks before biggest thing I've ever done, so I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could!

Yes, I was a lurker for a long time. I was so creepy. I knew all about the Feb '13 mamas (since I was one of them) but was too shy to post. Finally, after I had DS I got the courage to introduce myself and I'm SO happy I did!

@petunia354: LOL you are so funny! I am so glad you did too. I am so glad to have "met" you. LOL

Only for a little while. I think I discovered the site when googling how to get through the TWW! The day I got my BFP I signed up and joined my birth club!
persimmon / 1328 posts
Yep, I was a long time lurker. I decided to join when I felt like I actually had things to contribute to posts.
blogger / nectarine / 2010 posts
I applied as a blogger before I even joined. Once I found the boards though I jumped right in.

I read the blog for several months before even checking out the boards. I joined & started participating on the discussion boards once we were ttc.

I lurked for close to a year. Started lurking right after I got my BFP and didn't join until about a month after she was born. I still read way more than I post!

@Kimberlybee: Aw, you are sweet!! So glad to have met you too, and now on IG

Nope, I joined right away, but I didn't post too much until we were TTC.

I was a lurker for maybe 3 months. I was so overwhelmed with M as a newborn that I was just reading HB on my iphone for months while nursing but it took me a while to join in!
honeydew / 7917 posts
Joined right away and became a regular poster. I slack off every now and then, but I have a feeling I will be on here more often once baby arrives.
coconut / 8681 posts
Nope. But I was still posting on WB for awhile at first. It wasn't until I was pregnant with E that I became more active on here.
nectarine / 2217 posts
Yep! I lurked for a good year and even now I only post sometimes... Mainly cause I'm lazy to type a response! I read almost everyday, though! Love hellobee!
nectarine / 2031 posts
I lurked from the moment I got my BFP. Then during my 3rd trimester I decided to join but mostly lurk still because I am a lazy typer
pomelo / 5469 posts
Yes. I lurked for about 4mths through TTC and the first couple of months of pregnancy before I signed up.
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
Nope because I joined when it was still in Beta! I wasn't active until I started TTC a few months later since I didn't have any experience/feedback to give prior to that since the community was small and most of them were already pregnant or had LOs.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
Nope, I joined and started talking a lot and became a hostess pretty quickly!
