I know! I have been on here only 2 weeks actively and some of the women are b#tchy and rude. I was told I had too many tickers but this is my first child I am older and excited. I did say to one thread if you think this person is crazy stop reinforcing it by posting something on their thread! They did not like that!

 

Thanks for your understanding. I feel like this place is cliquey and certain people being like that discourages newbies. I just don't understand why people have to be like that. Good Luck with your pregnancy and p.s your tickers are nice.

 

dont go! i have experienced this as well.. but there are some woman that actually give imput and care about your concerns. i had the same feeling, and actually was in tears after some rude comments. you are both going to be fine, and all i say is im just glad i dont have their pregnancy symptoms of ***...

and dont worry, by even commenting on this, im sure i will get 10 more negative posts from half of the woman looking at this now.... just ignore it. they have NOTHING to do with you and they are just bored..

if you do leave, good luck!

and caren- i saw that ticker comment on the post (that had NOTHING to do about you.. they just wanted to make fun of someone else) what a rude thing to say! im glad you are proud and excited to welcome your baby!

Yeah, you need to not be on the internet at all if that is how you respond. And why is it you can tell someone else to ignore it but you can't do that yourself?

Oh and the ticker thing? That's because it's freaking annoying. Do you have you house number on the front of your house 5 different ways because they are all so cute you want them all? No, you pick one and rotate them if you want to see something different. Putting them all up makes you look like a nutjob.

One more thing- find the damn shift key. And sentences end with 1 period, not 2-3. Ok that was two. My bad.

Sorry, I know this is a rude awakening but people are the same on the internet as they are in real person. Not everyone is going to walk around on eggshells so that your feelings won't get hurt. Learn to not take everything said here so seriously. Do you personally know the people on the bump from real life? My guess is no, so maybe you shouldn't take it so personally. People can only hurt your feelings if you let them.

I fvcking knew you would post this! OP- you are going to need to get over yourself.  You are not the only person who has ever gone through this.  We are all excited and happy for everyone, but there is a thing called google to answer stupid questions and for the love of God if you scroll down the 1st tri board you will probably find the answer to your question because the same ones are posted over and over.  How do I know this?  Because I was on first tri once too!  You will find, however, that TB does contain some great ladies who are all in the same place as you or have been.  We will send out T&P and we will mean it when we say so if they are needed.  GL, but seriously honey, you need to get some thicker skin.

Wow, because this isn't a snotty or disrespectful at all.

There is a certain culture to the bump. It isn't all puppies and rainbows. If you are looking for people to blow glitter up your ass I would recommend looking elsewhere.

This Sometimes you need to wear your big girl panties when you come to the bump, just the way it is. I have an extra thick skin just because of the bump!

Am I missing something?  I have never posted on here and gotten a snotty comment.  Ever.  From what I have seen, only people who have dished out the snot have received snot in return.  I have posted many questions as I am someone who has experienced prior losses and have a lot of anxiety, and I have always gotten truthful answers and support and thoughts and prayers from everyone who responded.  I was once a fist time poster also.  I think there are a lot of dumb and "rainbow and glitter" posts on here, but I choose to skip over them.  I read the ones that stick out at me, the ones that I might have some input for, and the ones from people on the board I recognize from prior posts.  I agree that coming on here and posting a big middle finger to a bunch of pregnant women is not going to go well.

OP, you have to realize that this is a message board of nothing but woman with children, trying to have children and pregnant woman. You are going to get a lot of hormonal, snarky and sometimes rude responses from people (especially on the Tri boards) because let's face it.. yall are newly pregnant women. Your hormones are raging! (Sorry, if anyone disagrees but I believe this to be true since the month boards aren't as crazy) 

Don't take everything so personal, especially things that have nothing to do with you. If someone is getting rude remarks then 8 times out of 10 it's because they probably deserved it.

My suggestion is to just lurk around because beneath all the madness of it, there are some cool people on here and eventually every one gets to know each other. It gets fun, trust me!

 Like I said, just don't take it to heart.

Um- those boards are made up of the same type of women.  

Would you like to know part of why women have issues breaking out of stereotypes? Because of idiots like you that blame everything on hormones.

 

I'm not trying to blame everything on hormones. I'm just saying from what I've experienced, the tri boards are a lot crazier and I assume it's because of hormones. Like I said in my op, sorry if anyone disagrees but it's just from what I've seen. Didn't realize that makes me an idiot but hey, I've been called worse.

FTR, I've seen drama on the month boards as well but it's a different kind of drama. I'm sure I'm not the only one who believes this. 

ETA: I'm not trying to stereotype anyone either. I know how hormonal I was when I was pregnant and how sensitive I was so that's why I said that.

a GBCB after 13 posts? is that a record?

I think the bottom line to this whole thread is that the original poster has a problem that she can't get an answer to-she posted the same type of thread twice in three days.  None of us can give her a definitive answer.  "I don't know if you had a chemical pregnancy or if you are still pregnant and the test was inaccurate."  The only way she is going to get an answer is to go to the doctor and get blood work done.  Unfortunately, she doesn't have insurance right now.  I understand her frustration because apparently she has been spotting as well as having mixed results from her HPTs, but the answer is the same as three days before-only a blood test at the doctor's office will get some results.  We can all share our experiences that might be similar to the poster's question, but in the end we are all different and whereas something like spotting might be normal for me, it might not be for you and you should see your doctor. 

What I don't understand is why we are all jumping on the backs of each other?  What good is it doing? I wonder if the original poster is still checking this board.  It is like she set off an explosion and then left the scene and we look like the fools.

This type of post is absolutely and completely new to The Bump. You have given us all a lot to think about.

I know OP really opened my eyes.  I need to be more friendly and supportive.  Hopefully she can singlehandedly make TB a better place.

I just want to add that I read the OPs other posts and could not find one rude/snarky comment, so I just don't get where this is coming from.  And also

I believe it is because someone said "Didn't you just post this a week ago?" and then someone else responded "No it was only 3 days ago".  I believe she was offended.

I totally agree!! There are ladies on here that do nothing but waste there time on your spelling grammar and get pissed about posts that I guess are not up to their standards. Than they claim they are adults after they do nothing but act like a rude and inconsiderate child...its RIDICULOUS!!! On another note, try Babycenter it is awesome

My post really didn't have anything to do with my posts. Just reading through the posts the last weeks, it has became noticeable that some people here are being snotty and rude. I wrote the original post to get an reaction out the everyone and hopefully make some people sit back and think or just complete piss the ones that are that way off. Looks like it worked if you looked at how many people posted negative things (which proves my point) or just in general how many people has looked at it. I myself have quite enjoyed the entertainment you all have kept going. I just feel like being a newbie and seeing snotty /rude remarks can discourage newbies from using the site and feeling welcomed.

And I hope you do not feel that my comments are snotty and rude.  But unfortunately, that is life.  We all come from different walks of life and most people have access to a computer.  Some people might be 17 and some are 40.  Some have had losses and some are on their 4th child without ever having a loss.  Some people are nice and some people are snots.  I posted before that I have never received a rude or snotty response to my posts.  I tend to post mostly on the PGAL board because those ladies know where I have been and what I am going through.   If your intent of flipping everyone the finger was to see what happened, I do believe you got a good response.  But I don't think it is fair to flip people like me off who have only been supportive of others.

I did not find what you said rude or snotty at all. Actually, you seem like a very nice lady. I really didn't mean to come off like everyone on the bump is like that. I don't think everyone here is like but I thought it needed to be brought to attention. The way I did it may not have been a great way but it sure did get alot of peoples attention and that is what I wanted.

So you thought you would teach us all a lesson by rudely titling your post "F@!? You!" then proceeding to rail against "disrespectful" posters? Mkay.

I just have to say I am recently new to the bump. I have been on here only two weeks and going through the posts or posting myself. I often see snotty comments and answers and sometime disrespectful comments. There are new poeple signing up daily and come up to this website for information and help. I know I will discontinue use of this site just because of this. If you don't like what the posts is or sick of seeing ti posted a 1,000 times, why don't you not respond or just continue reading the next posts. you are not obligated to answer a post. what a welcoming website!

Hi Pot, I'm Kettle. Nice to meet you.
