Question #3
Should graduates be welcome to continue posting after getting a BFP?
This is such a fine line to walk. We are first and foremost a board that was created to provided a safe space for women to talk about their loss(es) and their current LO(s). We all sadly understand how difficult it is to see others moving on while we are going through one of the most difficult experiences of our lives.
That said, our group is unique in that we all understand the conflicting emotions and difficulty that accompany having a loss while trying to continue to parent our current LO(s), so our grads still have so much advice and support that can be offered if they choose to continue participating. It can also be argued that despite their current pregnancy status, these women are still possibly working through the emotions associated with their loss. While CAR can certainly offer support re. the loss, this is the only board where they are able to talk about both their loss and their LO, and how the two are interconnected.
If we encourage our grads to continue posting, I think we would all agree that there should be some ground rules. The two below are the obvious ones to me, but PLEASE add any others you would like to see enforced.

- Signatures should be disabled, or any indication of a current pregnancy (ticker, u/s pic, etc.) should be hidden behind a spoiler tag
- No pregnancy talk should happen on LaLC - keep that contained to CAR or your BMB
