Spinoff Sub from R/InfertilityBabies - specifically aimed towards those with Infertility Babies who are growing up :)
Out of respect for this community please follow our simple rules when posting. We hate acronyms here and that will never change.
Rules:
PURPOSE. We are a spin off sub from /r/infertility and /r/infertilitybabies. We created a place for years to come. We want to encourage those with infertility babies and children to stay in touch. For content, we're focusing on parenting - secondary infertility and pregnancy (r/infertilitybabies) we're keeping as something that is mentioned in passing, not as the focus of your post (Note: we will reevaluate this 6/2017 as our community continues to grow).
ALL ARE WELCOME. We simply ask that you are a parent and have some sort of background with infertility or undiagnosed struggle to conceive. The one thing we have in common here is we all faced the idea we may not ever be able to have a child...but we did, and it presents a different viewpoint on parenting.
NO DRAMA. Yup, no drama. There will be zero tolerance for it. If something doesn't seem right hit the REPORT button. We will take care of it.
AVOID CUTESY TALK. To better align ourselves with /r/infertility and /r/infertilitybabies, we are also encouraging members not to use cutesy acronyms like BFP.
USE THE MODS. If you see something that needs our attention please use the report button or message a mod.
USE DAILY/WEEKLY THREADS. We have a daily thread for updates, questions and conversation. We also have a weekly family planning thread, which is where questions, comments and discussions about expanding your family are most appropriate and helps us remain sensitive to members who don't wish to dive back into that world yet.
