Welcome to March 2015 Babies!

New here? Please post an introduction telling us about yourself and jump right in and participate. Here are a few tips we’ve picked up from other birth month clubs (Thank you ladies of Aug14/Dec14 for letting us borrow this!!):

  • Before you start posting or ask a new question, lurk. It is possible that the question you are about to ask has already been answered or may be better to ask in one of our weekly check-in threads (see below for schedule).
  • Search for your answer- if you’re on the computer look to the right part of your screen to find the search function.  Type in a keyword for your question and see if its been asked already.
  • Individualize your signature and avatar- if you plan to be an active poster. Having your own signature and avatar will make it easier to recognize you & will help us get to know you in the future. It’s easier to recall personalized pictures in your avatar and sig than just your screen name. Make sure your screen name is not your full real name. There are way too many crazies out there for you to be posting on the internet with your real name.
  • Give support in order to receive support. If all you do is ask questions and post topic after topic without contributing back to others questions you may not get the most warm and welcome support you were looking for.  This is a community.  We all need to contribute to keep it awesome!
  • Please remember that we are not doctors and are definitely not your doctor. We are pregnant and our advice is based on our experiences and what others have told us. If you think something is wrong or you are worried about something, ask your doctor. Also, please be careful when answering medically related questions to use good information. Link to sources is always very helpful. Your opinion =/= safe medical advice. If you ask a question that requires medical advice you’ll more than likely receive the following answer “did you ask your doctor?”
  • We will be honest. If you do not want an honest answer this may not be the best place to ask your question. We will support you the best we can but if you ask a question be ready for an honest answer.
