Some links that you may find helpful:
For those of you that are new to TB since you got your BFP, the threads below are standard threads to all boards. Anyone can start these threads, just please do not duplicate! Some work better if one person volunteers -- feel free to do so in the comments below! I'll list volunteers next to their chosen thread(s). If you do accidentally start a duplicate thread, that's a great opportunity to start a GIF party!
*****The community of this board encourages giving support as well as receiving it and prefers threads that benefit the whole rather than the individual. A wide range of topics are covered in our regular weekly threads, and we also have two catch-all threads for questions/comments/discussions/announcements: “Pregnancy Chatter” (pregnancy/childcare) and “Randoms & Spam” (non-pregnancy/childcare).
If you have a specific question you’d like answered for yourself or announcement about your situation, please post it in one of the weekly topics or the chatter threads. The exception to this is confirmed loss - please update us if you are comfortable doing so in either your own thread (for which you will receive response notifications) or in an existing relevant thread (which you will not unless the responder directly tags you).
If there is a discussion for the community that would be better served in its own thread, feel free to post it! A good example of this may be a GTKY (Get To Know You) question or, as we near April, a thread about what people are planning for their hospital go-bags.
Daily Threads: (please add the date to the thread title)
Ticker Changes (when your weekly progression changes, you participate in that day. For example, if I will be 10 weeks on Friday, that's the day I participate).
Monthly Siggy Challenge: Beginning in September
Once we all get farther along, we will also have pinned threads for things like sex announcements and birth announcements.
Re: Welcome April 2017 Moms! - PLEASE READ FIRST!!!
Also, April moms, there are still a ton of threads that could use someone as the poster. If you would like to post a thread, please let me know and I will add you to the list. Otherwise, if you have not seen a specific thread be posted, feel free to start it up!

If we're going to repost the intro, can we re-add the verbiage about the community consensus regarding creating threads vs using existing threads?
Without this blurb, attempts to organize will be for naught.
ETA: Also, can that include an asterisk for creating loss threads - people are welcome to create those if they unfortunately need to and I don't want people to feel like they can't.

I think we both tried to get it going last week and inadvertently confused people...

Weekly Appointments, Randoms, and Chatter would definitely stay Monday as they're more time dependent, but we could probably move the other check-ins and fun topics on different days.
This might help reduce some of the info dump on Mondays and give people more of a reason to pop in each day.
