An idea

Is anybody the least bit interested in being part of a private facebook group? I would still come here to post, but I feel like it would be easier for me to keep up with personal responses and updates if we were on facebook. If nobody is interested that's alright, but I just thought I would bring it up just in case

I would, I think it's a great idea.

Definitely!  I don't get a lot of time to come on here because I'm not on a computer and its hard to do it on my phone!  But facebook is easier! :)

To anyone else who is interested, you'll need to pm me with a link to your facebook page so I can add you as a friend then put you in the group

I am just going to stay here.  I find that I am able to open up more when I am separated from that whole identity on facebook....

Me three. I have too many professional contacts on FB who don't know about the pregnancy, and hopefully won't know for a while. And frankly, I try to keep my real life separate from FB.

No one on your friends list will be able to see that you're in it, but I understand!

Is anyone else interested?

Even posts in private groups can show up in your friend's 'feed.'  I have had this happen to me as well as noticed some of my friends posting in groups when I look at the 'feed'.   I may not be able to see the whole conversation or gain access to the private groups, but information that seemed more private is still 'leaked.'

 

I am not oppossed to others getting together there, but this might just explain my perspective a bit more.

Me four for just staying on the mothering forum here. I never login to FB, it is easier for me to just come here. Facebook has a pretty bad record w privacy issues, I feel posting here is more private and secure and I can be more open.

That just freaks me out!  I've never had that happen...but man, that could be awkward!

 

Personally, my rule with FB is if I don't want the whole world to know something, it doesn't go anywhere on there...private or not! ;)

Ditto!

I am, can someone send me the link?

I'm also staying here. Facebook is just sooo overwhelming with the updates I don't care about and I have also had privacy issues. I haven't logged in in years and don't plan to go back. I can access mdc just as easily on my phone as Facebook and much prefer it.

I'd like to join the FB group. I hardly have time to slip away to post here. I'll send you a PM
