I have been looking around the bump to see what other boards might be good for me and have not found anything. It still seems to me as though PAIF is the most applicable board. Where else do you guys post? I feel like boards that do not relate to IF aren't really what I'm looking for, but maybe I just haven't found the right one yet. Any thoughts?
Sincerely,
Daggermouth

Birth month board- but it's very busy and you see a lot of posts that would be considered insensitive to IF ladies. I posted in a local group also, but there isn't much activity there.
@Daggermouth I'm im the same boat. I was on the birth month board but find that I cannot always relate to the posts since coming from the IF boards. I was hoping this Board would be good but it's not very active.

I post in my month board. Occasionally, I will visit other earlier boards if there is a specific question about IF. I also agree with @Daggermouth and @ambdtd, there are some topics I can not relate to. For one, I have an extremely supportive partner. Also, because of when my baby is due, a lot of people on my board accidentally got pregnant over the winter holidays. Sometimes I feel like having a planned pregnancy is a whole different ordeal and as a couple, we have much less drama because both of us made the decision together. In some ways we had more time to grow together as a team because we weren't able to have a child right after getting married.
