Buddy Scheme/list

[tinkerbelll]

has some of you will of noticed there is a VERY popular thread on second tri for a buddy scheme that xkatx started, the theory is we get in to mini buddy team and can then contact our buddies who can update everyone else if we go into hospital ect. PeanutBean thought it would be a good idea to have the thread in here so that everyone could join if they wanted. so if you want to have and be a buddy leave a post here with a bit of info ie) when your due, where you live and anything else you want to mention.....

This is something that has been talked about a lot in the mods room over the last few days. Hang fire for a few hours because I know something is being arranged for all 3 tri's.

OK, we've been thinking about this. The problem with just having a sticky is long term maintenance (as it will be very labour intensive and could last longer than the original poster) and making it so everyone can interact and edit. So how about dedicating a whole forum to it: somewhere where you can request and pair up with pregnancy + text buddies and have your own thread that you can update and edit?

Good idea / bad idea?

What do you think?

 

[brownhairedmom]

Good idea!

 

[Anja]

Sounds good to me!

 

[PeanutBean]

Sure. Can we set up some sort of guidance for mini-teams? Not to sound like a rule meister! Rather to help people find people to match with. Like an ideal team might be 4 people - 2 each living at least in the same country so they can text, 2 might have a similar due date and the other 2 different. Or something like that. Not to be too prescriptive though!
