    ETA I don’t always read things all the way. 🤦🏻‍♀️
  • What’s TOU? Read through the abbreviations again in an effort to understand, and maybe use more, but woah there’s a lot.
  • @betsummerswilliams TOU stands for Terms of Use. Basically The Bump rules you have to follow to participate in the community.

  • Have we decided on when or if we want to break up check ins by EDD? I know some have mentioned in the past how daunting scrolling when they fell behind can feel. 
  • @wigglyicecream back in my 2016 bmb we did “ticker change” by day of the week. So there would be one for each day of the week. We also had hundreds of ladies so I don’t think that’s right for this group. What if we just split the month in half? And do 2 check ins? I feel weird doing it by week because then there will potentially be 3 other check ins I will be missing or also commenting on as a lurker. How did it work for other bmb’s in the past when you (all) did check in’s like that? 
  • @paytonpedro we did the ticker change too. I’m fine with whatever setup we decide on. I also don’t mind scrolling and keep up pretty well with how things are now. I vaguely remember somebody saying it would be beneficial since people at the end of the month aren’t experiencing similar symptoms to those with earlier EDD. Honestly not even sure if it was our group bc I lurk so much and sometimes get confused lol 
  • @wigglyicecream I have been part of BMB’s that did it both ways and I liked the due the same week better because it seemed more relevant for me. I’m down for whatever. 
  • @paytonpedro My last BMB did a ticker change too by the day of the week. But we had over 100 active members whereas I'd be surprised if we had more than 30 active members in this group. I'm with @mdfarmchick that even if there aren't a lot of active girls we break it up by week due to keep the threads more relevant.

    What if we did a poll? I think that might give us a definitive answer on what to do. 
  • I like the idea of first half of the month and second half of the month check-in

  • Took the initiative and created a poll for us with the 4 options we've talked about! 😊
  • Okay so thoughts on a theme just for Weird Pregnancy Dreams and another one for Bumping After Dark?? These are two threads we have had in my other bump boards. The first one is self explanatory and the second one we used for anyone up and dealing the truth pregnancy insomnia 
  • Would anybody be opposed to a weekly Mom's of Multiples check in? Or should we just keep the one thread?
  • The thread we have is fairly inactive- maybe we could use it more and add check in to it?
  • @bridgiebee82 I was assuming it would be a weekly. I think if it was maybe it would be more active? But that’s all up to you ladies! 🙂
  • @bridgiebee82 I’ve seen it as weekly or monthly. I don’t think you have to stick to the same thread the whole time. :heart:
  • Anybody have a good name for the dream thread? Mine have been off the wall and I am sure it will be amusing to see what others are dreaming about.

    @wigglyicecream omg I had the craziest dream last night 🤣🤣 my only thought is the What my pregnant self is dreaming lol but I have no better suggestions. 
  • @paytonpedro started. If anybody has a better name pleas feel free to tell me and I’ll update it. 
  • @wigglyicecream “In your Wildest Dreams” came to mind because of the song, but I like what you named it too!

  • @and_peggy it was the nicest thing I could say at the time. 🙃
  • Other boards I’ve been on have had monthly crafting/gardening/creativity threads. Is anyone else interested in anything like that and would benefit from a thread? 
  • @paytonpedro I'm not crafty in the least, but I love to see what other people are doing. I say go for it! 
  • I'd LOVE a gardening thread! I need to get my front bed in order this weekend, and I've been wanting to grow tomatoes and peppers again. I need accountabilibuddies. 

  • @and_peggy I say go for it. I think we have a great mix of FTM and STM+
  • @and_peggy yes because us FTMs have no idea what we don't know! Likely with many things we wouldn't even know the right questions to ask!
  • Yes, I definitely have some thoughts on prodromal labor and epidurals I wish I had known before experiencing both myself (twice each).

    I've seen so many great baby product sales or deals lately and keep thinking it would be awesome to have a thread to share this. E.g. Carter's is having their baby clothing sale right now. Is this something you all would be in interested in yet?
  • @darkrose88 I like that idea. We’ve done that in my previous BMBs. 
  • @darkrose88  We did that in previous bmb’s too. I think we pumped sales and recalls in one.
