Once we all get farther along, we will also have pinned threads for things like ultrasounds, sex announcements and birth announcements.
I've copy/pasted this from previous boards, and it seems to be the way that they are all organized, but of course we should feel free to tweak for our needs! For example, some boards do weekly ticker changes while others do weekly due date check-ins (ex, DD 1st week of Nov.).
If anyone has a suggestion for other threads, please feel free to comment a suggestion.
PLEASE keep in mind that there will eventually be a lot of us on this board, and an organized board will be much easier for everyone to use. If we can all keep the one-off posts to a minimum the board won't be too cluttered to navigate, and hopefully we won't end up answering the same question 2,000 times.
Let's have a great BMB ladies!

Children are like casseroles; it takes a lot to mess them up.
If more of these don’t fill up by end of next week, I’m happy to start more. You can mark me down for whatever we decide on the fit mom/healthy habits.
I thought we could wait a while to assign more of the threads, since we're still early in the month. I'd like to save some threads for people who are due late in November, that way no one feels left out! For now, if a thread's not assigned, whoever thinks of it first can start it.
**Note for everyone:** I was curious about the product spotlight threads, so I looked on other BMBs and copied their spreadsheets and changed the dates. You can find our spreadsheet here. Let me know if the link doesn't work. If you have any suggestions for other topics you want to see, let me know! I thought we'd go ahead and start it this coming Monday, unless anyone thinks it's best to wait.
ETA: clarifying that the product spotlight spreadsheet question was directed at everyone.

People can fill in as much as they feel comfortable with and what they know... obviously some of the topics will come later. Any other categories y'all would like added?

@pink_polkadots: I would vote for a weekly questions thread AND a weekly symptoms thread. There will probably be some repetition, but my old group also tried to keep one thread going for a reaaaallly long time, and I always felt bad when someone (usually a one-timer or newbie who found the board just to ask) was feeling emotional and scared about something and got yelled at for not reading all 78 pages from the last five months to make sure no one else had the same question before seeking comfort.

Everyone: I updated the thread to do ticker changes instead of the weekly due date check in, based on the poll results. We'll need someone to start tomorrow's thread! I'd do it, but my week doesn't roll over until Wednesday. I can post it anyways if no one else wants to though.

@KellyT22 I thought it would be a good idea to leave the ticker changes un-claimed so that anyone has a chance to start them. But it's not all up to me, so if others want to assign the ticker changes, that's fine! I think it would be fine to include VBAC in the CS thread. Or do you think they should be separate threads for those seeking different kinds of support? Any thoughts?
