I am on both pretty regularly. but I look on my phone a lot so sometime I loitter more here and ost more there. I am always checking in here, though.

I’m not even TTC yet so I definitely am on WB more now.  Once I start TTC and get pregnant though, I’m guessing it will be semi-evenly split.

I like both quite a bit, but I still feel more at home on WB for now. I find HB to be better for in depth answers to specific questions and WB to be better for general chit chatting. There are so many people from here over there though that it is all good.

I have a few posts that I frequent on WB(May babies and Spring babies) but otherwise I spend much more time on HB.  There is more content and since the focus is babies/pregnancy/parenting, I find that if I post a question I get many more responses more quickly. Also, since the HB site has been out of beta (for a few months now), a good community has developed over there, too.

Both are great sites with great communities, but I will probably spend even less time over here after LO is born…

I like the blogs on HB, but am like

@winniewolf: and have my favorite threads that I check here.

After Baby Girl is born, I can see myself transitioning over to HB. But for now, I like the community here a lot because I have my due date family!

I was reading beeinthepod for awhile, but they only have new blog content sporadically and I don’t think there’s much of a community for posting so I’m probably not going to be following that blog much longer.

Are there a lot of pre-TTC girls on HB?  I’ve never checked it out since I figured I don’t really belong there at this point.

Like most PP’s, I spend most of my time here. Once we started TTC I tried transitioning over there, especially since a lot of you who are also TTC/have babies are there as well,, but I just couldn’t get into it like I have here. I’ll probably try a little bit more now that my son is born. 

I do like the layout and organization of WB much better, maybe it’s because it’s what I’m familiar with since I’ve been here for nearly 3 years!

@Juliepants:  They have other sections that aren’t just ttc/pregnancy etc. They have home/cooking/relationships and some other good ones. Call me strange, but as soon as I got married (all of elevan days at this point), I just found myself transitioning over there more. I feel it more of the next step, and am kind of over anything wedding related atm. I’m like whew, finally I can just relax, enjoy my husband, and growing our *baby* marriage! Get it? Okay, that was corny. In sum, I’m starting to like hellobee more!

I love reading the posts on HelloBee – but find the boards hard to navigate/read. I prefer the design/layout of the weddingbee boards more so hang out here 🙂

I love wedding bee because I got so much support here when I was planning my wedding but now that I am expecting I love hellobee because its more about pregnancy and parenting than WB. But  I still come on both boards equally
