BTW: Mommy Message board Lingo, HTH

Mommy message boards and forum groups are popping up all over the Internet, which are awesome resources to almost any type of parent (trying to conceive, first time pregnancy, over 35, twins and multiples, single moms and the list goes on). They can be amazing support groups if you are separated from your partner, moved to a new area with no friends close by, or if you are the first one expecting in your circle. But on top of the regular online emoticons and acronyms, these moms have a completely different vocabulary of slang, shorthand and acronyms you’ll need to get to know if you actually want to understand the conversation. 

For example: I am a FTM and IMO, NIP is NMS…

Did you get that? For those of you who are shaking your head no right now, we have put together a quick cheat sheet to help you learn the lingo so you can type like the rest of em. And for those of you who nailed it - are their any you would add to this list?
