How did you originally find HB? What keeps you coming back?
-
I saw a tweet about it in Novemeber 2011. I was pregnant with my first and I had lots of questions and interest in everything baby related.
-
I was on weddingbee in the baby board while I was pregnant, HB was rolled out right around then (five years ago!). So a bunch of us moved on over here. It took me a few months to acclimate to a new site. now I obviously love it
-
We were fixing to start TTC and I had a lot of pregnancy questions, so I googled, and this site popped up in the search. I like it here so I stayed
-
A close friend is a fellow Bee- she referred me. I joined the month I got my BFP. I stay because there is so much great information from seasoned Moms- no reason to reinvent the wheel. I have also found a really strong community here and especially with my March 15 Moms.
-
Questions about ttc, but I didn't join until I mc'd. I found great support here on the loss boards & through ttc again on the 6mo+ boards.
-
I'm one of the early people that came over from Weddingbee once my wedding was over.
-
I was looking for infertility support.
-
@winter_wonder: same
-
I believe I found it either through Google or Pinterest about 2.5 years ago. DD1 was small and having a ton of sleep issues and I needed help, bad. I stay because I love it. I love helping other moms, I love the support, I feel like y'all are my "friends". With an online community someone is always available to talk when your RL friends are busy, so that's nice too!
-
I found it through Weddingbee which I used to help plan my 2010 wedding.
-
I think I came to read some of the articles and day in the life posts. Before ds1 I was obsessed with reading them because I had no idea what to expect with a kid. Now i stay because the boards are interesting and I've learned there is a neat community here. I've never participated in message boards before this.
-
I originally found it when looking up TTC info. I keep coming back because I really appreciate all the compassionate, intelligent and interesting women that hang out here!
-
Google sent me. I stay because I like the community.
-
After my first MC I was starting to TTC again and I was obsessively googling BFPs after certain DPOs and line darkness, etc and of course HB came up in my results over and over. I started lurking on POAS threads, more for information on how many DPO people were getting BFP's. Finally I joined so that I could ask questions.
That was about 3 years ago. -
I found HB when I needed Breast feeding/pumping support with LO1. I've stayed because it's a supportive parenting and pregnancy community for me.
-
I found it through Pinterest when I was pinning stuff to my super secret (at the time) baby/TTC board! I read the blog for a few months and then started posting on the boards when we started TTC. I appreciate the wide variety of perspectives and experiences that we share together on HB!
-
Weddingbee!
-
I found it when researching baby gear when I was pregnant with my 2nd
-
I came looking for info about temping and charting. Y'all turned me on to TCOYF.
-
Loyalty to the bee family.
I think I've "known" them for maybe 9 years now?
-
Weddingbee.
-
I was on WeddingBee (not active tho), and eventually found out they branched off to HelloBee, and took the plunge after we got married and I knew we'd be TTC soon.
-
Found it while pregnant with DD1 in 2012... googling something baby related.
-
I found it from WB too. I had an awesome birth month group from it with Q, but moved over to HB when I started trying for L because it seemed like a more active baby making community.
-
From another member after I MCed our first.
-
@Boogs: Same here!
-
@Pancakes: So funny because our kids are exactly the same ages and we joined here at the same time, too. Great minds.
-
I was looking for me support and I've stayed, now pregnant with number two.
-
A blogger I followed from Weddingbee posted about HB on Twitter, when it was in its initial soft-launch/beta days. I was years away from TTC but interested in learning, so I joined. I had a lot to get educated about.
-
I've never used forums or boards like this before, but I was researching early pregnancy symptoms so much in Google I ended up here a lot. Hellobee stood out to me due to the friendliness and compassion of everyone on here. I'm still really new here, but have already learned a lot!
-
@PeaceLily: welcome. Happy to have you here!
-
I read WB back in 2009 when I was planning my wedding, and I've read hellobee since its launch. I didn't start posting on the boards until we started TTC in 2014. I keep coming back because it has great advice for me through all stages and aspects of life.
-
I read about it on the WB boards. Came over in beta before we TTCed. I've had three babies since I joined.
I've stayed because I gained so much from the community that I like giving back now as a seasoned mom. I have made some IRL lifelong friends here. I love that if I need advice at three in the morning, someone is here with an ear ready. -
Hear about it when it was in Beta while I was blogging for WB. I spent a lot of time on the Babies section over there when TTC, but moved here when there were more IF related boards.
