I'll stop the silly snarkiness and make an honest suggestion to you, LadyNikon. Try to think through your posts before you hit "post." I'm not trying to be obnoxious. Read them through and make sure that they say what you are intending them to say. They often come across as just random thoughts and then three posts down you tell us what you really intended to ask. I think that would really avoid a lot of confusion. Sometimes you might know what you mean but we don't if it's not clear in your original post. This isn't twitter and it doesn't have to be a stream of consciousness thing.
THANK YOU!
OP, maybe you should join Twitter if you want to post a million times a day. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I feel like you are mistaking the BMB for your Facebook Status updates!
Wow. If you don't want to read what I post you can just not read it you know? No one says you have to read the posts that anyone makes. Since there is no *post quota* handed down by the bump. I will post what I want when I want. Although the person who told me to read the post to make sure what I was saying was giving me some decent advice I find your post to be a rude.
Did you read the thread linked? YOU did the exact same thing earlier this month.
Actually what I did was tell her that she didn't have to create a post to test out a newly created signature. I didn't know that when I started on the forums. It was a lesson I had learned from someone else and I was sharing that information. I never made a rude comment and said her post was annoying. I never said maybe you should stick to twitter.
If I remember correctly you told her no reason to post. You flat out told her that her gender announcement was not necessary. I thought that was harsh too. The gender of her child is a legit post. It did not come off as nice advice but rather snarky. Maybe it was another unfinished thought, but it wasn't nice.

This. No need to test post.
This is directly from that post. Where did I say the words no need to post?

And where did she say 'Test Post' ? She was announcing that she is having a little boy...

You don't always have to use exact words to say something...telling her she could've just gone back to an old post to see the change pretty much sounded like she was being told her post was unneccesary. That can easily be taken as "no need to post..." Which seems to be how the following poster took it as well with their 2 cents added...
Besides, generally people say congrats or something along those lines when a person announces the sex of their LO...ignoring the purpose of the post doesn't really help...
Your post in the original thread (started by Fishy) did come across as somewhat snarky when you consider the fact that you start numerous random posts about nothing. If you would have said "Hey here's a tidbit that I just learned. You can check out an old post and see your updated siggy." THAT would have been passing along info, the way that you worded it came across as "your post is unnecessary" because you failed to notice (or at least acknowledge) that she was trying to announce that she is expecting a boy.

I can't speak for the others, but I think that whether or not you said "there's no need to post" exactly isn't the issue at hand. There's lots of other constructive advice here that hopefully you heed.
I just told you how it appeared to me. Obviously I wasn't the only one. Now you are getting defensive about how your post came off. When you type something, we have no idea where your head is. We can only read it and figure out what you meant. To me it seemed snarky and ironic. Others feel the same way. Clarify things so that everyone can understand you. I am not attacking you, but that was the way your previous post came off. As for this post. I am done. Now I remember why I am not on here as much and why it is so quiet now.
I know this isn't really an answer to your question, but I would think twice before seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy. My SIL is a physical therapist, and she has worked with women who have been "effed-up" from seeing a chiropractor while pregnant.

I do both while pg. I tend to get sciatica toward the end, and use some PT to help with effective movement & Chiropractic to keep everything moving and loosened up.
