I thought Shanmarie's original post was cute, and i thought the smart comeback was equally cute...then it all went downhill, and understandably, on both sides, as it often does on here. I don't think that being a public forum gives anyone the right to bash someone who is sincerely asking for feedback. You don't want to answer, then don't. Let it go! I do enjoy the silliness of some gifs but not at the expense of someone's dignity. I'll repeat most of my response from the other FTM post with a few edits... I can appreciate the fact that "facts" delivered online or in books aren't always accurate, or rather, don't always accurately depict what real moms FEEL or experience. It's helpful to see the range of experiences other moms have had, in real time, even for a BTDT mom. Not everything from before is top of mind. And speaking of minds, most of our preggo minds aren't fully intact at the moment, so I also understand when someone asks something one way but thinks they asked it a different way. If you don't want to answer a FTM question, then don't waste your time (or their's), you can think what you want of others, but stop bashing these ladies and taking up their air time; just because someone is a regular doesn't mean they can decide what belongs on here or not - that's where the Public part comes in - and so what if someone hasn't felt like they needed to post their own posts until now? That's like saying to the shy kid in school that they can't ask a question when they finally decide to speak up. I may not be popular on here, but I don't care. I get what I need out of the forum and try to give back when I feel I can. Many FTMs don't feel like they have a lot to contribute, but it doesn't mean they aren't getting what they need from it.

I think I responded to your post in another thread in how you can get involved without having a lot to contribute, but there are many reasons you can still be involved as a FTM (Just as I am)
- Weekly check ins
-Monday Bitchfest
- Thankful Tuesday
- HDBD
- UO Thursday
-FFFC
-Sunday Clicky Polls

I am not "popular" on here either, but I contribute and share as much as I can.  I enjoy the gifs, snark, and funny comments.  I don't see any gifs that are posted at someone else's dignity.  I think you are getting a little defensive.  As I said in the other thread, it's annoying to see the same damn question OVER and OVER and OVER again.  It doesn't take experience to do a quick search.  I honestly don't mind the "I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for" posts.  At least they tried.  There was zero effort on OP's behalf to see if a similar post had been made recently (which several have).  I understand that you think that posts should be ignored.  I feel like posters should try not to ignore every other post made today just to ask their own question.  You think snarky comments are a waste of time, well I think people like OP waste everyone else's time.

I do read sweet heart, and if you feel like its a dumbass question then ignore it!! I know what I wrote I'm not stupid. This is my first pregnancy so everything is a little overwhelming. I've had a painless pregnancy until Sunday and then everything kind of happened all at once. So excuse me for wondering.

If you "know what you wrote" then why did you say that were asking something different?  Obviously you don't know what you wrote. 

You have all of 13 posts here and none since mid July.  You and at least 18 other people have been asking the same questions for weeks.  Go back and look at those posts to which we have responded in the exact same ways.   Nobody has a crystal ball that can tell you when you're going to have your baby.  

In answer to your question "could labor be close?"  Maybe,  maybe not.  

ummm excuse me, but maybe YOU need to start reading a little.  It's clear that Shanmarie has one.

Yes my crystal ball tells me you will give birth with the next several weeks!

Re-read what you wrote again sweetie. You didn't ask what other women felt like before labor, you asked if labor could be close, to which again I say I can pretty much guarantee that you will deliver in the next several weeks. None of us can answer this for you and if you would even bother picking up a book or even reading other posts then you would know that not only does every woman experience different symptoms before labor, but many of us have all those things you described for weeks before finally going into labor. A dumb ass question deserves a smart ass answer!

Hmmm kind of mean... This is her first pregnancy sheesh!! Cut her some slack... No need to be rude or mean if you don't like what she has to say don't post on here... This is my second pregnancy and I have never experienced labor so I know what she means. It's scary not knowing when labor is going to come and when trying to figure it out you over analyze everything in the process...

Another White Knight,  really??  Again,  nobody can tell you when you're going to go into labor!

Today is the first day you've ever posted here, don't start it by insulting the ladies who post regularly.  Trust me, you're not going to like the responses that you'll get from this.

"No need to be rude and mean." If I read that one more time I'm positive my eyes will roll all the way around to the back of my head just to avoid the pain of having to see another white knight type it.

You know, it's funny how the OP didn't even ask what she meant and the responses she got were valid to the question she actually asked. Then she freaked out, called shan a smart ass, an totally overreacted over absolutely nothing. And THAT isn't "rude and mean" to you? That doesn't even make sense. Your little finger wag isn't necessary and it's not going to change the fact that silly questions get a variety of responses, both in real life and on the internet. If you post something, you also have to be mature enough to handle the responses and if you can't handle it, it's probably best not to post.

This is all I can think of when I see someone say they are "never posting here again!" It reminds me of my 12 year old niece when she doesn't get her way and stomps off to her room and slams the door. Very childish.

Again with the FTM excuse. Because we've totally established that it's legitimate.
