For those of us who've been here before, what did you like about previous DDCs?
I remember enjoying a spotlight activity in one of mine. Someone took names of mamas who wanted to participate, and then would pick someone at random and post a spotlight thread every few days and we could all ask her questions and get to know her a little better.
It was on a different forum but we did that in my DDC for my daughter. It was a lot of fun.
We had a lot of chat and GTKY threads that were especially nice while we were all new. Picture threads are always fun. Ours opted not to do this but some other groups for virtual baby showers/gift exchanges.
I was in a DDC briefly during my last pregnancy but got too busy to keep up. I find it overwhelming keeping track of who is who...I love the idea of the spotlight threads!

In my last DDC we had a weekly check-in. It had a standard format and then room for comments at the end. I think it included things like how far along are you, scheduled appointments, level of exercise, new things you were feeling, worries, etc. I don't exactly remember, but it was nice to have a regular check in for those who wanted and made it a little easier to keep track of people.
I really loved the birth bead swap from my last DDC. I plan on giving my daughter her beads when she is older, and I'd love a set to give to this baby too.
Weekly check-ins, daily chat threads, and getting to know you posts all were great in connecting people...
