Welcome to the First Time Moms board! Everyone is welcome here, whether you are a first time mom, soon to be a mom, or a mom several times over. Please feel free to answer others’ questions, post your own, or just browse.
Here are a few guidelines to help us all out:
-
You do not need to be an expert mom to be able to participate. Just offer up your experience that you have gathered along the way.
-
Please respect that there are many different parenting styles. This board has been a wonderfully respectful place, and we are proud of that fact.
-
Introduce yourself so we know who’s hanging around.
-
Please give us an update if you are having a problem. We love to know how things are working out, and a little “thank you” goes a long way.
-
Keep coming back! As your little one grows, come back and share what you have learned with the newer moms.
Here’s a “cheat sheet” about the different folders we have:
Baby Talk
This is for you to post your questions about your little ones. We can't promise that we will have the answers, but we'll try! Don’t forget that you can click on the “more” link at the bottom of a folder to see other topics.
Join the Club
This folder is for introducing yourself. I will also post the Monthly Roll Call in this folder. Feel free to introduce yourself and your little one, giving as much information as you are comfortable with. Also, please feel free to welcome other members that post here (or anywhere, for that matter!).
Mommy Chit Chat
This is a folder for non-baby related chatting and questions. Feel free to connect with other moms here!
Baby News & Updates
Exactly what it sounds like, a place to post anything about your baby – milestones met, difficulties, successes, etc. We love to know how things are going, so keep us updated!
Picture Perfect
This folder is for posting pictures of your little one to show off for other moms. We love seeing what your babies look like, so go ahead and brag!
Fun & Games
This is a folder for games and other fun posts – a chance to laugh and have fun with other moms. Feel free to join in or start your own post.
Rants, Raves & Product Reviews
Something really bothering you and you need to vent, find an item that you just have to share with others, bought something that just didn’t live up to its promise? Here’s a place where you can share with other moms about things you love, things you hate, or things you just need to talk about!
Take a Tour of iVillage
You will see other Community Leaders post invitations to their boards here, and I will post information about iVillage features here.
We hope you will find this board to be a safe and fun place to connect with other moms!
