there's a whooooole lotta nastiness and immaturity over on the 1st and 2nd tri boards and it weirdly seems to be the prevailing tone of this site. they're not talking about pg, they're tearing each other to shreds! i'm laughing but it's ridiculous, really. i've enjoyed this more supportive board in the short time it's been around, but i've decided to cancel my membership here.
besides this board, have any of you found other ones that are a little smarter and more mature?
anyway, i wish you all the best with your pregnancies and beyond!
Re: just saying hi and bye
Since you're a fellow Canuck, maybe you'd be interested in our Canada board on the Nest? It isn't specifically a pg/ttc board, rather a pretty general board, although a lot of us are moms/pg/ttc so there is a lot of talk about those. No snarkiness or meanspiritedness there - everyone really is great.
If you're interested, it's here.

I too found the 1st Tri board filled with childish antics and ridiculing of others. Kind of appalling, actually, in such a miraculous and mostly joyous time of our lives. So far this board is nothing but super friendly and very supportive which I believe it will stay this way...pregnant over 35 does have some advantages such as maturity
Maybe you'll stick around? I dont know of any other boards yet...sorry.
I agree that this is a much more supportive board. 1st & 2nd Tri reminds me of a high school teen drama.
The What to Expect board seems to be OK. It is blocked from my work computer, so I am not on there as often but it's not the soap opera that some of the other boards can be.
