Welcome to June 2021 BMB! If you're new to TB, we're excited to have you! Below you will find information on how the flow of BMBs work, guidelines and helpful links. I've borrowed this from other BMBs.
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

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!
Re: **READ THIS FIRST*** Board Organization and Guidelines
Does anyone care if we do ticker changes or week 1/2/3/4 check ins? I've seen it done either way.
And maybe have 1 questions thread so they can all be in one place? What do others think?

- Pregnancy after loss - PGAL Check-In
- Moms of Multiples Check-I
- High Risk Pregnancy Check-In
- Pregnant after IF
Also some are good if someone has a good story:
- Monday bitchfest
- WTF Wednesday
A few I saw in other boards that are more a monthly or general
- ultrasound thread
How do others feel about trimming the number of threads?
ETA: I think we should try to decide today so @klj0228 can edit the post before her 24 hours are up and the board states to get busy.

On the Trying to Get Pregnant board, the same person often posted the Waiting to Ovulate and the Two Week Wait threads even though you are one or the other. I posted both FTM and STM+ yesterday because I was on early and wanted to be sure both were posted for the group.
