If this is your first pregnancy and you are looking for a forum that is kind, supportive and patient to your new experience, I would think twice about joining this group. I have been a part of the forums Trouble Trying to Conceive, Pregnant after Infertility, Adoption, and recently I was invited to join this group since I was finally able to conceive. All of the other groups were and incredibly patient and helpful to new members even when a repetitive or naive question was asked. If someone asked a question that wasn't fit for that particular forum, someone either ignored the question, gently led them to the right place or answered the response despite how "stupid" it might have seemed. On this forum I see an abundance of sarcasm, ridicule, and denial by many members of how mean they are. It seems like many members are using this forum as a way to find entertainment through belittling others, and I simply will not be a part of this.
