Sh!t on a stick, I hope the next few weeks go by fast. I am happy to be feeling pregnant, but I'm also turning into pregasaraus rex with the sickness, hormones, and smell aversions.

Bitty Baby #4, please stick around - we already love you so very much!
It wasn't so much "drama" as one person overreacting like WHOA and a bunch of people not reading the OP and going all mob-mentality on the OP.
Yeah, you are right, but it is the most excitement this board has seen yet!
Okay, but considering the fact that half the month hasn't even filled up yet, the board is still pretty darn young. I'm shocked we already had this drama. I swear it took months before these issues came up on my other BMB!
And let that be a lesson to you, OP, not to neglect TB! I swear, every time I've been away from the internet/TB for more than a day, major drama has happened on my other BMB.

I suppose that's directed at me? That's cool.
Yeah. It seemed very pitchforks, tar and feathers to me.
i went in alone. I started it off with saying I judged her. It snowballed from there. It's my convictions about not drinking during pregnancy. And I don't need to disclose why. I stand strong by what I said. I did not mean for her to get barraged. Just to give her my opinion on what she was saying.

So you stand by your name-calling? I didn't realize insulting people for their personal decisions was part of reasoned debate.
I completely agree with KaramelSutra. I feel like the person who posted the original message was looking for a reaction, especially to come on this board and make a controversial statement like she did. Bottom line is-we don't know how much alcohol can lead to FAS. That being said, and most intelligent, educated people understanding this, why would you continue to drink during pregnancy? I guess if the risk is worth it to you, then go ahead. But I do find it sad that there are so many women on this board who dream of becoming pregnant and you have some idiot come on here and makes it like she can't live without alcohol for the next 9 months. The post sounded very immature. I don't care if it's small sips or large glasses. If you feel like you have to have alcohol during your pregnancy then you probably need to see a counselor. It's not about you anymore, it's about the life and welfare of the child growing inside of you. Quit being selfish.

Fortunately I wasn't scarred too much by the pitchforks. More importantly I learned a valuable lesson about message boards and pregnant women. I will say my enthusiasm for The Bump has been reduced, fortunately I wasn't depending on it for information, just thought it would be a good source of conversation. No more posting for me.
