With all of the new members coming in 
WELCOME! I wanted to get a post going-- what got you into HB?
I was just starting to meddle in our family planning and getting ready to get ready to TTC! After joining HB, we were actively TTC a few months later and got our BFP a few months after that--- it was my #1 resource for all things baby/parenting because I don't have a lot of IRL friends who are moms!

I had JUST gotten my BFP with E a few days before. I was still active on the WB nesting boards, and didn't post here very much until after E was born. By then most everyone I knew on WB had moved here, and the parenting board wasn't really active, so HB became a much better fit.

I had no one to talk to. Most of my friends with kids were on #2 so I didn't want to bug them with my FTM questions!

We were getting ready to TTC and I didn't want to tell my friends, so I needed someone to talk too!

We were JUST getting ready to TTC and I needed people to talk about it since we weren't going to tell anyone IRL except my BFF! Soooooo thankful I had HB as my outlet!

Same as @Smurfette: contemplating the jump from NTNP to actively TTC, and not wanting to talk about it with friends. Most of mine are either single and will not have kids, or have completed their families.

i'm a huge fan of mrs. bee and was an avid follower of weddingbee for years. once my wedding was over, i stopped hovering around on weddingbee and instead started to read mrs. bee's personal blog (i dont remember how i found it - probably google). then i found out she was launching hellobee and it was perfect because i had baby fever and was ttc at the time. =)

HB was in the works shortly after I got married, and babies were on our mind.

I came here because I was on WB, and then it just wasn't relevant to me anymore. So, I came here!

I was the first of my friends to have a baby, and really needed the advice and community!

I found out about HB on WeddingBee in the June 2013 mama's thread. I posted in that thread a few times but stopped a month or two into the pregnancy. I had horrible all day morning sickness until week 24 of the pregnancy and looking at a computer screen made me queasy so I just stayed off and browsed occasionally on my phone. When I read about HB, I checked it out and discovered I liked the feel of this community a whole lot more.

I had no idea what to do with a child I hadn't spent much time around any kids, so I wanted to make sure I did everything I could to raise her right. Everything I searched for brought me to this site

I was googling lots of things while pregnant and kept stumbling upon hellobee. I had also read the WB blog during my wedding planning.

I had just started TTC so I joined. I was a member of Weddingbee before, so that's the main reason I came here rather than another baby forum.

I was already on WB and was starting the TTC process and started to migrate over here.

@Mrs. High Heels: me too!
When HB went beta, DD was a month old and I needed company and advice!
