Welcome! In general I think you'll figure things out pretty quickly just by hanging around and observing. But here are a few things I can think of that you might like to know...

We have a couple different "check-in"s that we do each week that you can join in on. One is the "ticker change" check-in that we have each day. You join in on whatever day of the week starts a new week of pregnancy for you. Ex.) I will be 21 weeks 0 days on Wednesday, so I join the Wednesday ticker change thread every week. It's just a way to share how you're feeling, what appointments you have coming up, etc. There is one for each day of the week. 

Another is "HDBD" (stands for Hump Day Bump Day) which is a big thread that someone starts on Wednesday every week. That's just a place where we all join in and post pictures of our big ol' pregnant bellies for everyone to ooh and aah at.  

If you really have no idea where to start, I recommend jumping in on the "Longest thread ever!" (also known as the Random Thoughts thread) and just having fun talking about random things and getting to know people. That thread is basically where we go when we just want to have fun and say whatever is on our minds at the time.

For me? You really shouldn't have! Especially at mid-night when i can't go out and buy it. Lol I've never met such nice pregnant women before. Back in 08 when i had my son every forum and chat was a huge whine session. I feel so grateful!

fact:  nobody else is as awesome as A14
