Some links that you may find helpful:
For the sake of board organization, here are some simple guidelines for posting threads:
DO:
-Introduce yourself in the "Introductions" thread
-Feel free to start one of the weekly posts listed below: if a post is "assigned" but hasn't been started by mid morning, feel free to start it!
-Post your own thread if you have a confirmed loss
-Post a thread that would apply to the entire community and doesn't fall into one of the categories for daily threads listed below (Ex: what to pack in your hospital bag, baby gear, etc)
-Comment, share advice and show support for your fellow bumpies; this is a two-way street, to get support, you must show it as well
DON'T:
-Start a thread asking about symptoms; please post this in the current weekly "symptoms thread"
-Ask the community if you are pregnant, it is against TOU
-Start a thread asking for relationship advice; a professional is better suited for this task
-Post pictures of your pregnancy test, this is also against TOU
-Post a thread that asks a question only applying to yourself unless you suspect you may be going through a MC
-Get bent out of shape if someone calls you out for not following these guidelines; if you expect to be part of a supportive board (which we are), you need to be able to take the time to learn the ins and outs of the board

Re: **READ THIS FIRST- BOARD ORGANIZATION/GUIDELINES**
Do we want to have designated people for every one of these? Or should we have certain ones left unassigned? Like, have the general topics left open for anyone to start, but assign the ticker changes and check-ins?
I think having some left unassigned will help make people feel welcome and more willing to participate. Thoughts?
I'm pretty relaxed about how these boards go though. I know others (at least what I've seen in the past) can be more particular about how things are run. I'm flexible! As long as people are polite, I'm cool with whatever!
Hopefully if we start this board off as laid-back it will stay that way lol
Likewise, if things are a little slow to begin with I'd personally be ok if someone wanted to start more than one thread that day because they found they had time.
ETA: As I am in the UK, primarily on a weekend I found myself up earlier than most, so would start some of the weekend threads. It generally worked well but if anyone has issues with a thread being started a few hours before you wake - let me know.
