Once we all get farther along, we will also have pinned threads for things like ultrasounds, sex announcements, and birth announcements.
I've copy/pasted this from previous boards, and it seems to be the way that they are all organized, but of course we should feel free to tweak for our needs! For example, some boards do weekly ticker changes while others do weekly due date check-ins (ex, DD 1st week of March.).
If anyone has a suggestion for other threads, please feel free to comment a suggestion.
Let's have a great BMB ladies!
Re: ***Read Before Posting***
I think what you’re suggesting is great. I honestly didn’t even read through all this, just copy pasted. But yeah maybe like all 8/1-8/7 due dates check in on one post. Done it like that before. I really don’t care. Once more people start coming in, we can see if that’s good. I certainly am not appointing myself to be in charge, I just wanted to get the group going.

@and_peggy that's exactly how I feel about my son's BMB group. I've known those ladies for over 4.5 years and they were the first group I told about my current pregnancy as they are so supportive. I'm always glad to hear other people has similar experiences.
@adcc43 yes, it really does make a difference. The only other two people I know IRL are my cousin's wife and SIL. But I'm not close with either of them. It makes a huge difference being a part of a community like this. I would have bothered the heck out of my husband my first pregnancy if I couldn't have talked to someone about everything I was going through lol.

I love to connect with others- and think it’s especially beneficial to connect with others who have the same timing for when we’re due! How special!
ETA- yay!! I’m finally not a “Knottie” anymore!
In my A19 BMB we also did Product Spotlight threads, I think biweekly? Things like strollers, car seats, crib mattresses, baby carriers, diapers, bottles, maternity clothing brands, etc. It was so helpful and I'd be interested in doing that here if anyone else is!

Does anyone have input on when we’d like to highlight various product categories?
Direct is always a word I’d use describe myself 😬 guilty.

If people are concerned about the Questions thread becoming too long, we can make a monthly question thread?? OR they could just put QUESTION in bold at the top of their post so people can find them easily to reply to. I think I'll just start doing that and see if anyone catches on.
