don't want to be "that" newbie

Fryday37

so after hanging out for the 2 day time frame and reading lots of posts i get the feeling that some boards aren't that into newbies. i dont want to be annoying but i find that all i think about since getting that BFP is babies and this amazing LO! i have talked my DH's ear off and the two friends that i chose to tell about it are probably tired of me by now so i figured this was the best way to get my fix. any suggestions on how to ease my way into conversations/boards without being pushy? this is my 4th pregnancy however i dont have any children yet so needless to say i have lots of nerves mixed in with my excitement. thanks!

Congrats!

Since you're already pregnant try 1st trimester.  Don't be afraid to post.  Just look at the most current page of a board and see if your question has already been asked.

If not, ask away.  

I always find that answering other people's questions vs posting right away can break the ice per se when you're new on a board.  Another thing I would recommend is visiting your Birth Month board.  The groups are smaller and you'll find more common ground. 

Lastly, give your local board a visit should you need recommendations on an OB , maternity pics, etc...

good luck!

I would recommend checking out the December 2010 mamas board.  It's a great group of ladies, really informative and they don't mind newbies at all.  Some of the other boards can get a little snarky and feel unwelcoming.  But we would love to have you over there!!
