Or is it like when you're in HS and all of the freshmen just seem completely ridiculous and you're sure you couldn't have possibly ever been that ridiculous yourself?
I believe that some of us are just stupid freshman. But, the longer I'm on here, the more I believe that most of the world really has no sense trying to raise children!
Do you think hand sanitizer paranoia is normal? Case closed.
I'm not saying that there haven't been really stupid questions, but haven't there always been really stupid questions? Is that really something that's new to this group? I find it hard to believe that there were no ridiculous questions on this board in months and years past.
Though I lurk most of the time, I would be considered a freshman, but I hope I'm not that lame. Google, pregnancy books, and my mother answer most my questions.
I think we should be nice to the stupid people. It's not their fault that their mothers ate lunch meat and drank diet coke everyday while pregnant.
I don't think it's really that bad. Try getting report on the ambulance patient that comes in at 5 weeks (that's right, by ambulance) bc it hurts "right here where the baby is"....clutching her stomach (as in, where your actual STOMACH is.)
BFP #1: m/c at 8 weeks; BFP #2: DD born 6/9/09; BFP #3 m/c at 5 weeks; BFP #4 m/c at 8 weeks, D&E; BFP #5 DS born 8/12/12

For many here they are like HS Freshman. But the 20% are really overboard and make the other normal 80% look great. It is the 20% who are calling themselves out for hazing.
yup.. this board is a turn off and kind of depressing.
I get that some people ask some really stupid questions, but I also think there are some women on here who just enjoy being b*tchy and putting themselves on the "I am so freakin' smart pedestal." I think these same women can't put themselves in someonelse shoes and be polite.
I just don't get why some women get off on being so mean. Makes me worried for their child.
Yes, this board can be bad. Maybe it's because I did a ton of research and reading and lurking while waiting to get KU, but it seems that a lot of people on here don't know anything. It's within their rights to ask, but it's also within other people's rights to get annoyed by it.

Inappropriate. People are annoyed with the small percentage of people who post questions here that are either 1) obvious if you have ever read anything about pregnancy ever; 2) totally redundant or 3) ask a question that clearly only a physician should answer. To say that people are b*tches and you are worried for their children is overboard.
And to the person who posted that people should be polite and not bitchy-- you keepr eading this shit into your 2nd and 3rd trimester-- you'll be flaming them too-- especially when two posts below their post is the same freaking question.
First google, then lurk-- then if you still can't find an answer ask.
Mom of 3 year old, one year old and one on the way (due late Summer 2013).

I think it goes both ways. It does seem like a lot of people have never picked up a book. There questions are silly and can be redundant. I've never asked a question on here regarding a symptom, for the simple fact that no one on here is my doctor.
But the mean responses, take away the feeling of comfort I originally had here. It was nice to post with other moms to be. But not when everyone is yelling at everyone.
I wish there could be a sticky thread at the top of the first page. FAQ of sorts. For questions such as, 5 weeks no symptoms, blue cheese, flu shot, etc.
That would solve the problem. Then if you don't read that and ask your question, maybe then I could understand the rude responses.
Re: Are we really that bad?
Yes 1st tri is really that bad.
No I was never that ridiculous.

Ditto. Some people really need to spend more time googling and lurking.
