Hi Clara,
Just a suggestion that the board 'Moms After Miscarriage' has gotten so busy...it is hard to keep track of new posts. I am suggesting that maybe the board can be subdivided into two. For example: Moms after Miscarriage - birth to one year Moms after Miscarriage - over one year old A third category could even be added for children over 5 or 10 or whatever I think this would be helpful when trying to go through posts... I know you are so busy and thank you for what you do...don't want to complicate things further...
God Bless Dominique

What about sections for TTC after young child loss and mom's after young child loss? We will be TTC again and I was wondering where to post?

I agree with Michelle, I went over to the Trying to get pregnant after m/c board, and I love it there, though I think it would be great to have another place to go. One that's more specific. Good suggestions!

Thanks so much for the additional suggestions. I'm in a "not sure" situation right now as I'm talking with some administrators from other message boards. Sometimes the boards get so "cluttered" with subdivisions that it's very hard to find a place to call home simply because there are so many different divisions. On the other hand, I understand your frustration with having so many "broad" areas in which to post. I've labored over this decision many times when we were hosted on our previous server. Now that we switched to Proboards, I have been waiting to see how much (if any) our community changed. I'm still in the "wait and see" part of making a decision, so please bear with me just a little longer. I'm trying to stay with the original look and feel of SG as much as possible. Thank you so much for your input and suggestions as I try to make the decision that will best serve the needs of everyone. Love, Clara

Clara- I am very much apperciative that SG hasn't changed much since the move to the new boards. While in theory I liked the idea of breaking up MAM a little, the more I thought about it the less I like the idea. Of course initially, it is overwhelming with all of the people on MAM (but isn't that a wonderful thing!). It does take a while to feel like you belong there and get to know everyone and their children. However, it is nice to have input from more veteran mothers and be able to give advice on those situations you've already encountered. It takes a while to build a community and I feel that MAM is a wonderful, loving accepting one. I know it is overwhelming to be new to anything, but I think everyone on MAM is welcoming. I agree that the board could get cluttered with too many specific boards.

Well I was just noticing there are a few that don't have much activity, perhaps combining them would help? Or, actually, you know, I think the title may be the issue, not the people in the actual forums. For instance, if you added to the name of the MAM board, something like "after loss", or something, more of us would feel "OK" with being there? Just a thought.

I really like the MAM board .... Yes, it gets a bit cluttered, but it is such a joy to me to read all the "trials & tribulations" of potty training !! And theres so much Happiness everytime a new baby is born into this "family" of ours ......& what a family we are!! I love strolling down memory lane there.......it always brings a ;D to my face....especially when I'm having a bad day. The original look & feel of SG is what keeps us here. judiann

I like the mam board exactly as it is and yes most of the newer members are truly moms after miscarriage there are moms on there after loss with older children
when I had my miscarriages I posted on that board than when mam was created started posting a little over there, now offer support when I can since mine is an older child
I miss the oldies the original members and hearing about how big the kids have gotten, many of those children have just turned 3 that is a wonderful miracle to see
it is so nice to see the older children's parents post to a brand new or a newly expectant telling them it will be okay, it is hard to be pregnant after a loss
