Lurkers, newbies, and busy people who want to participate, come join us!! F19 is a super supportive, really organized, amazingly experienced group, and we're so happy you're with us! I know joining in with an established board can be intimidating; I lurked the ENTIRE time in my first BMB and wish I had come out of the shadows earlier! A few easy things to know about our (your!) board:
- Like I said earlier, F19 is very organized! This isn't a place where you'll find 16 one off posts of the same question. Question about a symptom you're experiencing? Post in the weekly symptoms thread! Want to show off your cute little nugget's most recent ultrasound? Post in the Ultrasound AW thread! Want honest feedback on a name you're considering? Post in the Name Thread! Not sure if there's an existing thread to suit your needs? Utilize the search bar, or post in the weekly randoms! Weekly randoms is always a safe bet if you aren't sure where to go

- F19 is really invested in privacy. Please be sure to edit your ultrasounds (which belong in the Ultrasound AW thread pinned to the top!) to hide your full name and doctor/midwife practice. Also don't post naked belly pics or pics in your undies. There are some serious creeps in the world and stranger danger is very real.
- You'll read this all over TB, but this is a community in which you give support to receive it. Think about it this way: how would your friends feel if you only ever talked about yourself and never gave support to them? Probably ... not great.
SO! If you haven't already intro'd in the Intro thread, introduce yourself here! Let's get started here with a little GTKY: Tell us how this baby was conceived in 3 words or less. Mine would be Derby Mint Juleps.
WELCOME TO FEBRUARY 19!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. can I make a simple, humble request? Please for the love of all that's good QFP the f--k out of these drive-bys and sneuxflakes. I so look forward to reading these little gems and the wonderful twists and turns they make as they eventually morph into WORM. Also, I'd like to nominate "worm" as either our Feb '19 official mascot or as our designated BMB circle hand game.

“Hey, bend over”
I’ve been lurking since early June, following along with you all. Haven’t joined in because I’ve been pretty nervous about this pregnancy. Also wary of trying to contribute via mobile lol. But now is as good a time as any to suck it up!
Conception story: boring. Doctors. IUI. (We are two ladies).
BFP 6.8.2018 EDD 02.18.2019
My GTKY: Ovulating. Let's go.
I've already felt like I've learned lots of helpful things on this board (this is baby #1), and I've appreciated hearing about everyone else's experiences. Thanks everyone! So far, I've had an uneventful and easy 17 weeks, so no complaining on my part.
My GTKY: stress-free, guards down
