I forgot that once upon a time someone mentioned going to the activity of the admins and looking at threads that got shut down. Down the rabbit hole I go!
stuck in some weird box.... I didn't even know this was possible... I know what i'll be doing all night now
I was checking on admin activity as well. Tons of "could i pregnant?" threads!
You gotta invest a little time into this one, but for anyone that was on TheKnot before their wedding, this brings back some memories. The first page is mostly chatter - although some interesting etiquette faux pas go totally untouched, which I was surprised by. Things get more interesting on page 2. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/89340359#Comment_89340359
I can't help but wonder if somewhere out there in bump land, there's another group linking our alpaca thread to their own as a source of drama goodies. Which got me thinking...has anyone tried searching for other drama threads??

I was wondering this too! I'm sure it will happen at some point since the title of the thread is so strange to begin with, someone is going to wonder and look
Really glad I clicked on this thread...but wondering why on earth would anyone spend so much time to make a fake account just to talk to random pregnant women about made up drama
This has provided me with some much needed Christmas break entertainment. My fiancé is not nearly as entertained, in fact he said "pregnant women are crazy"! lol
@Jen_Shoes it stands for Dealing With In Laws. It's for people who need help with horrible family members. I found their Best of Delivery Room and Best of Post Partum threads super useful when deciding how I wanted to approach the birth of our child with certain family members.
Remember how we were rolling our eyes over July doing hdbd already? August is doing the same while people are still finding out they're pregnant. It is at least lacking in participation.
Haven't been to any of the threads with links because it won't work on my phone, but will definitely check them out!
Just wantes to to say though before I forget, haven't used an onion for toxins, but I was really sick a few years ago with a horribly high fever. My friend told me to put potatoes on my feet with socks to help break the fever and get the toxins out. I was skeptical but was willing to try anything! So, being the experimenter that I am sometimes lol I had her put some in socks and leave them on the counter much like we did for my feet. The ones on my feet were disgusting and my fever broke! The ones on the counter looked like they did when we put them in! It was crazy, but did seem to work!

Oh man, the 4 weeks pregnant and bf doesn't know post... I was like, "Huh, AW to start your own thread like that, but not sure where the drama is..." but then someone much more observant than me pointed out that she was temping/charting and her bf doesn't know! Who does that?! (Probably MUD, but I prefer to think it's some real crazy chick)

I love the support and community we have here, but after the catfish, I really try to limit identifying information. I also will not join any FB groups. I was pretty naive last time around. When everything was exposed I was so surprised that someone could / would invest that much time to get other people's information.
I like this community we have and like to participate because I refuse to believe there are so many crazies out there.
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot it just seemed to work at the time. Now whether it actually did or I was so sick that it was a coincidence and was relieved I didn't end up in the hospital, who knows. But I'm glad whatever happened worked. Definitely not telling everyone to go run out and put potatoes on their feet when they have a high fever. Just sharing my story

@kayemjay2 I'm loving you and your post over there right now! At least we're equal opportunity lurkers. No one should feel too special! We had a smidge of drama over here when we were getting started too!
@ShadeofGreen816 - Hahaha....yeah, we aren't picking on anyone! We go where the drama is. I'm sure we'll have more to come....until then, Babycenter is truly a goldmine. I can't believe I didn't know that world existed.

@kayemjay2 for sure! Make sure you don't miss the current Drinking post on the May board over there. I haven't really gotten too far but an alcohol post never disappoints
Why did you close your account? I'm testing out the bump because BBC has made some weird changes lately but I haven't quite gotten the hang of the bump yet either so I'm not sure where I'll end up. This is my first post!!
How can they creep it when they are so busy posting in HDBloatDay?
ETA: Just realized that was on June, not July. No shade for HDBD at this point for June. July & Aug are still getting my side-eye.
Lurking from August 17 OMG it was literally two or three people out of our entire BMB that posted HDBD pics. I'm pretty sure the couple of ladies that posted pics are well aware that their poppy seed sized babies are not causing a true bump yet.
@ShadeofGreen816 - Drinking always brings the drama. The drama on that site is seriously overwhelming. I can't wait until they start talking circumcision. That's my favorite drama-topic.
Maybe this belongs on the UO board, but I don't really like HDBD at any stage and won't be participating. But it's especially hilarious before a bump is possible.

I just spent waaaay too long getting sucked into the catfishing thread. It blows my mind that anyone has the time or energy for that. People are crazy!

@notaplaya-justcrushalot lol I'm honestly not white knighting, I'm just saying I've seen several threads on multiple BMBs talking about the fact that we have a HDBD. Our entire BMB is being judged for 3 people posting blump pics.
Coming to the aid of a troll or an unfavorable/wrong poster. You see it alot when a poster has a crappy opinion or makes an off-putting comment. A white knight will swoop in and try to justify the other poster's statements or position. Someone else might be able to explain this more eloquently.
Hey @jen_shoes !!!! Thanks girl!! It's been beyond exciting. Against all odds we got pregnant naturally the cycle before we were going to use our frozen embryo!!
