What topic are you tired of on the bump?

wilburbud · June 2013

Some topics come up I feel like daily. Is there one that just makes you roll your eyes or that you immediately skip over now?

klm03013 · June 2013

The "Am I Pregnant" on first trimester. Also, the posts asking people to be nicer. They aren't going to do anything and in fact seem to have the opposite effect.

1st trimester screens. are you getting it done, and why. BEAT.

This is what I was going to say too!

Deblondie1 · June 2013

Pretty much all 1st tri posts, hence why I avoid the 1st tri board. And the mommy wars that re-surface every few weeks. Oh and the general "I judged..." posts. Oh yeah, and BF vs. FF, CD vs. DD, circs, and piercing baby's ears.

CaliCarly77 · June 2013

The Facebook Group one. OMG. It is in the feed daily.

And the genetic testing.

sleepymonkey · June 2013

I'm tired of the "I have no symptoms, is something wrong?" posts, especially when they actually go on to list some symptoms they have, like sore boobs and fatigue. I think it irks me because I have been suffering with nausea and I'm just jealous of the people without.

This. Also, people asking about a FB group. I have half a mind to answer the next one with "go ahead! Start one and take all the crazies with you! We'll start a less crazy one well into the second tri or later."

Worries about gaining weight!

Yep these.

Also, the OMGIDON'THAVEANYSYMPTOMWHAT'SWRONG?

(With the obvious exceptions of PGAL)

That one drives me up the wall! Why do you want people you haven't really interacted with regularly to know your full name?

Also, cannot agree more with the NT scan one.

And the multiple boob posts

Haha so true. The worst is when they just joined and it's like their 2nd post on the board...really, you are already over the bump and wanting to friend us all?

I also agree about the lack of symptoms ones (minus PgAL and especially missed m/c ladies)... especially because it's so common you can just scroll down and see people answering the same question. That applies in general though... if there was just a post on genetic testing etc why not just jump into that thread why ask the exact same question again?

P.S. ScarlettDahlia your dog is adorable! What breed?

goldenB · June 2013

only because I am in my super nauseous phase I dont like reading threads regarding food (what's for breakfast/lunch/dinner, cravings etc).

katie-lynn3313 · June 2013

basically everything on First trimester board :P

jldubb0626 · June 2013

It's not really one specific topic or another (except the FB one - that's just insane), it's the lack of initiative to find the answer you're looking for in the past couple pages.

Like the whole "Team Green or Finding Out" topic. I'm pretty sure if you look back a few pages, you'll see where everyone stands on this topic.

ScarlettDahlia · June 2013

Thanks! She's some sort of terrier mix. We do some work with a local animal rescue group and they needed a foster home for her. So we took her in as a foster ... almost 4 years ago now, lol. After the first weekend, there was just no way we could let her leave us.

Posts about a multiple boob situation would entertain me.

aessary03 · June 2013

I'm not a huge fan of the "what do you think you're having? Boy or girl?"

ETA: but I seriously love the ultrasound pips.

ccip82 · June 2013

Another one for the FB group posts. I do not think I would even be ready to join one during 2nd trimester. Way too many crazies out there...

THIS. I've been to the ER twice and have a hard time remembering what meds I am suppose to take when. And I'm sick of my face being [] this close to where people put their butts on a daily basis.

I get how it can really mess with your mind and if you have a history of loss, its really scary (and i bet they get tired of the m/s posts), but I'm just so damned miserable all the time. i'm going to go cry in the toilet now...

bethughknee · June 2013

Tired of "OMG NO SYMPTOMS TODAY"! (outside of PGAL and previous m/c of course) Pick up a book! Symptoms waver! Be glad you feel more like YOU today! Sorry, end rant.

Also, I hadn't really looked at 1st Tri because I get such good info here that it never occurred to me to stray... Oh man. That place is the Hot Mess Express. Good for a laugh if you're not feeling cranky haha.

1st trimester screens. are you getting it done, and why. BEAT.

This is what I was going to say too!

I third this. Mostly because the context is usually "I would never terminate, so not planning to test." Right, since I'm testing I must want to terminate my pregnancy. It's getting offensive.

ChuggingWater · June 2013

Fb ones.

People don't realize the potential crazy.

I completely, 100% agree with you. It's so offensive, and incredibly annoying considering the topic seems to come up 8 times a day.

Otherwise, I will just say "all of the above" because all of these are great choices!

Yeah I tried getting in to that a little while ago and it started to get messy so I just dropped it. Maybe I'll just quit answering those posts altogether.

yes and the I'm not getting these tests done because I won't terminate. I am sooooooo tired of people saying that. It's so flucking annoying.

I'm so glad others feel this way. I scream at the computer every time someone puts, I'm not getting my screening because I wont' terminate, blah blah.

PreDempsey · June 2013

Totally a different direction but I don't like the "saying goodbye" posts from people leaving the board because we've had some great people leave our board and it makes my heart hurt for them. I wish we didn't have to lose anyone.

Sorry. I'll try and turn these hormones down ladies, having an sappy afternoon.

Jen4033 · June 2013

Thought of a good one.. the "when should I start wearing maternity clothes?" posts. Wear them whenever you flucking want! It is your body & you don't need permission from a message board of strangers nor society to wear what you want to wear. Go!... be comfy!

HereWeGo2014 · June 2013

Bookshelves:

One more, less a topic than a pet peeve. Post subjects that are vague or open-ended!

"When did you..." ... and then you have to click open the post to see it's something that does not apply to you (or irritates you).

No Vaguebooking!

Speaking of, I really wish thebump allowed you to hover and see a preview of the post like SO MANY OTHER forums do. Just saying...

halfthetree · June 2013

BF vs FF, vaccinate vs don't, etc any post where any opinion I may have is different than mainstream, and I know the OP has already decided but wants to get a 200 post thread and get people all worked up.

Also, "my hpts were negative, but I feel preggo. Do you Internet strangers know if I am pregnant??" Ugh so many dumb people

OH and "I had a cramp, and here's a picture of my CM, am I miscarrying soon?"

I dislike many lol

I hate these as well. It just breaks my heart when someone has had a loss, because as someone who has been there, it hurts so much. I really wish we didn't have any losses. I do appreciate those of you who don't mind when we PGAL girls ask questions about symptoms.

bossyfnp · June 2013

I second on the genetic testing post...and I dont like and decided not to click on low heartbeat, cant see anything, empty sac, bleeding, etc. I feel sorry for the women and it doesnt help my PGaL brain.

leighkinpa · June 2013

They all get old after awhile. Next it will be first kicks, gender scans, the glucose test, etc. I totally skip over first appointment posts unless they say pip with ultrasound pic!

This kinda makes me sad. I feel like anyone who has to write a goodbye post deserves love and support from us the most at the time they just find out. I think being pgal has made me more aware of how much these ladies need us in time of horrible news.

Just my thoughts...I understand being scared of reading some of the sad posts too, but I'd rather show support than ignore them.

These were my exact thoughts too when I read that one, I know with my loss I was very appreciative of the support

Wait until we are all finding out what we are having and there is a million.

It's a .....

monkeybutt61612 · June 2013

Is it safe to take this drug my doctor, who knows I'm pregnant, prescribed? They said it's okay, but is it realllllllllllllly okay????? FFS. I can't.

indiana101 · June 2013

Hasn't really started for us yet but I hate UOs and FFFC. I used to think they were juicy but now I think they just bring out the worst in people. Plus its a place where regs get away with saying what they want but no-one else does.
