Board organization

Hi everyone, happy Friday!! I thought it might be good to start a conversation about how we would like this group to be structured (or unstructured). In all my months of lurking I’ve seen some BMBs are very strictly organized with weekly threads and others just create new ones for each topic as it arises.

I think I’m partial to something in the middle: maybe a few more structured options (weekly check-ins, monthly symptoms threads, product spotlights, etc.) but also free rein to add conversations as needed.

What do you think? How would you like the board to be organized? What conversations would you like to see ongoing? For those of you who have had previous BMB groups, what worked best for you then?

**NOTE: I am going to make a thread with info on how to change usernames from knottie+number to something more recognizable—it makes it so much easier to tag one another!**

    I’ve been in two other bmb groups and both of them have had weekly check-in’s, appts, ultrasound pictures, bump pics, etc plus a weekly random. I think having a bit of organization really helped. But, im flexible and will go with what others want😊

    I definitely think some structured posts like you've mentioned, especially weekly check-in, would be great! I think that's how we really get to know each other.

    My old 2018 BMB was organized like this and I loved it! We did weekly threads on symptoms/hump day bump day/US/etc. I definitely think it helps the board be less cluttered!

    As we are getting deeper in to our pregnancy do we want come up with ideas? I know on my last BMB we had a few weekly things. Anyone can feel free to start a thread, I think they really help up get to know each other better, and maybe kill some time here and there.
