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! 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 October
Once we all get farther along, we will also have pinned threads for things like sex announcements and birth announcements.
Re: **Please Read FIRST*** Daily Threads/Board Organization
My two cents - I'm for organization but also hope no one becomes the board police and makes it dull. Its nice we have tagging now so that makes threads easier to follow and join in on.
And a question - Whats the feel here? Are we going to assign people or whoever starts the thread, starts it that day? When I was briefly in the Oct16 BMB, they were "calling dibs" on starting...

The May 2017 BMB had assignments or volunteers for starting daily threads. I don't think that is necessary. It seems like anyone who is posting should be able to start a daily, like how it is in TTGP.
Thoughts?
I don't think we necessarily need a weekly questions thread. I feel like many would miss a bunch. I know we are the early birds here, though! Lots of input to come in the coming weeks

I don't feel like I explained that very well. I'm having trouble making it without my morning coffee.
But anyhow, I'm just throwing that out there as an idea!

I was going to start the high risk thread but I figured majority don't know yet if they are. Or maybe they do (like me). I dunno. I didn't want to start that one quite yet because I figured I'd be talking to myself.
What's a girl got to do to get this post pinned? @BumpAdmin

Please @BumpAdmin pin this for us.
It would be sweet if this were more like The Knot and they allowed a Board Moderator from its members with SOME capabilities...like pinning and closing posts, etc. I mean this is pretty ridic right now.
Buuuuuuump. And pin, @BumpAdmin, @BumpCaitlin
