I have a feeling I'm going to get flamed for this, but I have noticed posters on the tri boards who admit that they aren't now and have never been pregnant before. I'm really confused why they would feel compelled to offer opinions, let alone pass judgement, on things they haven't experienced.
I totally get BTDT moms coming back to share advice if they have time, and I understand people who are planning a family lurking to see what may be in store for them, but seems really creepy to me to get all judgey about things you've never gone through.... On the other hand, it is the interwebz, and I'm sure there could be male plumbers named Bubba on here with fake tickers and stolen US pics, so maybe I should just be glad these people are up front about their situation?

I actually agree with the OP on people posting who have never been pregnant. It annoys the crap out of me. I like to lurk on the SAHM and attachment parenting board b/c I like some of their advice but I would never post b/c I'm not a SAHM a

Well, I'm glad we all got a good reminder about internet creepers :-) And it's why I'm really careful about what I post and why I try not to look for advice on medical or other serious issues.
I'm not complaining about being judgey...heck,
