Where have all the labour threads gone?

[Balthazar1275]

Just wondering where all the labour threads have went, not seen any on here for a while.

I used to love popping on each day and reading all the threads getting caught up on all the excitement of the impeding births.

Please bring them back!!!

I will be doing one when the time comes but you will have to wait another 9 weeks for mine hehe. I know what you mean though, when I had my daughter the third tri was always full of labour threads x

 

[Balthazar1275]

Its just sad not to see those threads anymore, I guess everyone tends to stick to their own month threads now which is understandable but I loved reading them.

I loved reading these too and birth announcements with their stories but never seem to have them anymore!! Xx

Ps I used to be a member a few years ago, and the forum does seem a lot quieter than it was back then lol xx

I enjoyed reading the May /June mummies having their babies and labor threads but July mummies have vanished!! :/ im gutted as it would have been nice leading up to ours! Well, Us august mummies will bring it all back starting in the next week too eeeeeek!! Can't believe its our turn!! Xx

It has been easier for us July mummies to use the Facebook page!! It just means that we can communicate much easier with each other! To be honest since moving to tri 3 it had seemed much quieter than tri 1 and 2 were!! I don't know if tri 3 has always been like that,but it is definitely quieter!! Plus having a little one I haven't had the time or inclination to write up my labour thread!! I will do it at some point,but have much more exciting things to do :-D

Im with you here Michelle, labour threads coming back with august mummies abd maybee we will start the next months ladies off.. I think the monthly groups does stop many posts as it's sooo quiet some nights

Us July mummies have become really close since we started a group on Facebook.

It's so much easier to hold conversations on there than it is on here.

I was here 2.5 years ago, and agree, the forum was much more active then. Someone posted this same thing a couple months back, and we swore we'd bring back labour threads. Said the same thing about how people stick to month threads etc.
We've had mummies post threads on here, and after hundreds of views, still not have a single response. On FB, conversation is continuously flowing.
My bump buddy did a phenomenal job keeping people updated, on FB, on our month thread, and she started my personal labour thread.
Which about five people commented on, and it's long since dropped off the page.

2.5 years ago, labour threads were epic 10 page affairs.
I really hope that comes back, but it won't be July mummies that manage it, I don't reckon.

Some of it may have to do with how quickly our babies are arriving.
Mostly, it's because the forum seems to die off by Tri 3.

I've been keeping the July mummies front page up to date, we are still around.
Just, quieter. Xx

[Shelly1812]

Hopefully when it comes our time some of the October mummies can have a labour thread xx

 

[KHTW]

Hopefully when it comes our time some of the October mummies can have a labour thread xx

Yup! Gives us something to do between the contractions

I miss the labour threads i was an august 2011 mummy and back then there was loads of labour threads and birth annoucments. I love reading them.
Still check every morning to see if there is one and have a look through the current months threads to see if any babies have arrived.

I think us november mummies will be very simelar to July as most of our ladies are on facebook.
