Hi Ladies
It has been suggested to me that we need to expand the 'New Mummies!' category halfway down the front page. I totally agree 8)
You've been with us all through your pregnancy and I know that many of you want to stay on this site as you've made lots of new friends, and that's wonderful to hear! I must say, the PMs that I have had recently on the subject of expanding the 'New Mummies!' side of things have been lovely to read, and I'm very happy to do what I can to make the site a more useful resource for all of you, including those of you who are no longer pregnant because you have now had your baby!
Current sub-categories (forums) within the 'New Mummies!' category are 'Announce Your New Arrival', 'Your Baby Pictures' and 'First Year With Your New Baby', but there is LOADS of room there for a whole host of new sub-categories!
First of all, I could set up a new website altogether (ie, a different web address to www.pregnancyforum.co.uk) but then you would need to re-register. Personally speaking, I do think that keeping the 'New Mummies!' category within this site would be much more beneficial in terms of creating a more supportive, close-knit community, rather than being spread across two separate sites. This also simplifies matters for if/when you use the chat room (yes, I know it's not working at the moment I upgraded the forum software last week but still need to tweak the chat room back to life. I should be able to do that this weekend, all being well).
So, I need your help! It's been nearly 10 years since I had my first child so I'm a bit rusty on the sorts of things that new mums like to talk about
Please reply below with a list of sub-categories that you think may be useful. Be as bold as you like - write as many as you like! Even if somebody else has already suggested one that you were going to put down, tell me anyway as I need to get an idea of how popular each sub-category would be. The better the input, the more useful the site will become for you. I will then take a look at all of your suggestions, and post a preliminary list which of course will be open to further consideration by you all.
Once we have all agreed on the list of sub-categories, I will then create a forum for each of those sub-categories, which will be located within the existing 'New Mummies!' category.
I'm thinking of between 10 and 15 new sub-categories, chosen by you, within the 'New Mummies!' category. I realise that this will make the front page quite long, but I'm sure that won't be a problem. Just scroll down until you find the 'New Mummies!' category, and then you will find all of the new sub-categories within that category - once we have decided what those sub-categories are going to be called!
So please get your thinking caps on ladies, if you will - your input is very much appreciated and will ensure that the new and improved, all-singing, all-dancing 'New Mummies!' forums are correctly geared towards your requirements in your role as a new mum!
Best wishes,
Laura B
