Just wondering...(and being snarky)

Shellann1 · October 2013

Man preggo hormones! (And I know many of you hate the work preggo. Today I don't care!) I'm surprised most of us aren't single again

. Just remember it is better to take your bitch out on the Internet to strangers than those we actually care for and like!

We have 8 more months together...

Don't get mad at stupid things our brains are shrinking its being assaulted by crazy hormones. People might forget there is this thing called google. Or books. Why trust doctors and such when there's a sea of women with no credentials who I don't know.... Seems ligit

But seriously guys. Is this normal? I'm not sick today. Should I tell everyone tomorrow? And when can I know the sex? Can I know the sex of your baby?what do you think of the name Appletini?
Happy Tuesday bumpies

Ummm there is really not that much to talk about in first tri (especial the first 8 weeks) besides morning sickness and the food we eat.

Then talk about something NOT pregnancy related. Seriously. We may be here because we're all pregnant. But no one cares THAT much.

This. I find I'm very rarely responding to the posts, except if they are ones of people asking for T&Ps, saying goodbye, having good appointments etc. I'd love to see more GTKY posts or fun kinds of things. While I love being pregnant and can't wait to have another baby, there's more to/about me than that. I tend to be on the more shy side, so I'm likely the last to start a post, in my defense ☺️

While I am not an offender at the posting something that has already been asked a million times, I think what people need to realize that a board like this can be kind of frustrating to first timers. Think about that first time you ever got a BFP and how excited you were to see it. I haven't told many people the baby news, so this is about the only place that I feel like I can ask questions and make remarks about my excitement. What I don't think people want to do is go back through pages of questions to see if theirs had already been asked. They are excited FTM who just want to ask something and learn.

I guess I don't understand why people freak out on questions that have been asked before. Just don't look at them. Don't answer them. Then how do they even affect you? I feel like boards like this are hard to blend well because we do have moms that are here for their 2nd, 3rd, or more times that just think all of us first time moms are idiots (and I will be the first to admit, I pretty much know nothing about this baby thing!) Maybe what would be more constructive is a separate thread where first time moms can ask all of the questions that annoy everyone else. I guess I just don't see the point in getting annoyed at someone else's excitement.

I am a third time mom and I asked about MS too because it is different this pregnancy. Also I am only annoyed by truly stupid questions not FTM.

No one is getting annoyed at your excitement. No one is calling you an idiot. We're frustrated an annoyed that people that are coming here to ask a question have to start a new thread even though that exact question was asked an hour ago because in the hour since it was asked it's been pushed back 3 pages with 50 posts that all say "I feel weird." There is a daily symptoms thread for EVERYONE to post their symptoms and symptom related thoughts/complaints/concerns/whatever, but there are still a ton of people that aren't using it. I haven't told anyone that I'm pregnant either, and this is the only place I have to talk about it. If you think that this is about getting annoyed because people are excited, I think you need to reread what's been said because you couldn't be more wrong.

I love how these posts always turn into first time mom vs. everyone else.

Or .... When are you telling everyone? These identical post are driving my crazy!

Baby names!

Maybe I am part of the problem though, because I respond, lol

The baby names ones I just want to send to the baby names board. That's what it's fucking for! But I just ignore them. Not even worth opening because chances are I think your name is dumb and I'm not going to tell you that anyways. So what's the point?

At least you refrain from telling people when you don't like their names. I have some sort of inner compulsion that will not allow me to gloss over name posts and not tell them my opinion. Ugh.

bellaa2020 · October 2013

Yall are giving me a headache!.. oh wait no, that's just a pregnancy symptom!

peggels24 · October 2013

Listen ladies - here's the deal. Anyone can ask whatever they want even if the 17 people before them asked the same exact question. However, if you are annoyed by something, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING - you are not allowed.

I do not understand coming into this thread and arguing against the way someone FEELS is ok?

Pintobean39 · October 2013

What's annoying to me is the threads on symptom of the day and ppls appts are getting pushed to the second page because there are 3 post because someone doesn't have symptoms 2 for naming a baby, 4 asking when are you telling everyone .... I'm sorry but I've curious everyday about everyone's dr appt and not that concerned about what you are naming your baby.

I wasn't aware that being a first time mom meant that you became unable to scan the list of other post titles and find where everyone else is talking about spotting, symptoms and nausea.
Also, it does affect the rest of us when we can't find a single post other than a duplicate/triplicate/quadripilicate one.

Right? I'm a FTM, I'm pretty sure I'm not asking the same things over and over. And actually, a lot of the dupes are from those who aren't. It has nothing to do with the amount of kids a person has popped out.

lest12 · October 2013

I'm a FTM, too. I honestly don't mind the questions and the wanting to talk about the symptoms and the concerns and all of that jazz. Hell, I posted about how I walked around the supermarket and got sick because of all the smells, and about how my symptoms "went away" for a day and freaked me out. I like the conversations - even when I do tell people IRL, I doubt they are going to enjoy me coming up to them everyday talking about my constipation. However, I try to post in the daily threads about it, or at least jump into an ongoing conversation. I don't need to start my own thread every time I have to fart. It's kind of boring and AW-ish, I think. Edit - I tried to add spaces but it isn't working.

Whoever said we have "8 more months together" needs to think again. This board doesn't stop at labor and delivery. Well unless you want it to...

Hopefully once all the new members are done showing up over the next few weeks (there are bound to be stragglers) the repetitive posts will stop.

This....we are now soul sisters for LYFE. The snark in this thread is really making me want to stick around. Screw July and the nonexistent board! Plus y'all have already knocked off a month of symptoms posts for me to wade through.

starsinger17 · October 2013

I love this thread!! Maybe its because with this pregnancy I'm bitchy or maybe its because its my second time around but yeah its freaking pissing me off. I ignore most of them because I get mad. I'm all for being worried about stuff and being excited but not reading the identical posts fucking irritates the shit out of me.

KristaU831 · October 2013

um so guys did you know the intelligender is better than an anatomy scan? and if you have headaches its a girl. you can tell people whenever you want but they can probably tell already because you are totes showing. you lost your symptoms because you ate too much fiber. and your mil is a twat for saying the name brinkli is stupid.

did that cover everything?

those have nitrates so you should probably wash it down with vodka to counteract act that.

and if you have the sex your baby comes out with a dented head. so just be aware.

peggels24 · October 2013

Is it wrong that a ham and bacon sandwich sounds delightful?

chaysefaith · October 2013

As long as the baby isn't born already pregly...baby can wear hats to cover up dented heads!

I get it...we don't want to hear the same things over and over again. I agree...it gets super boring! But seriously, ladies, this is better than the first tri board. Also, I get there is a way to search. Maybe people are just lazy. But some people don't spend 24/7 on this board reading, responding, and posting discussions. Just saying...

This isn't a FTM problem, it's a "people who don't know how to use the internet" problem.

And they affect me because I have to sort through all the crap posts to find something worthwhile.

It's not FTMs vs others with experience. It's about internet etiquette and experience. Just because you're excited about your pregnancy doesn't mean you have to act like an idiot that's never used the internet. There's a reason that the blog and the search function exist. Laziness is not an excuse. Excitement is not an excuse. Everyone here is excited and probably prefers to be lazy when possible. If you want to act like a special snowflake then be sure that someone will tell you you're not one. Sorry if I'm being overly blunt, but it's silly to expect the world to revolve around you just because you're pregnant.

I disagree. Everyone should bow down because I'm pregnant. I'm the first person to ever be pregnant. And when I ask has anyone else _____ I assume the answer is no because obviously no one else has felt nauseated while pregnant.

People are nuts!! Everyone knows the baby's arms and legs are too small to feel...it's the tadpole tail they're feeling beating against their uterus.

8-} ! It's gas people, live it, love it, set it free...

On preg buzz someone thought they felt the baby at 9 weeks and a bunch of people were like Lolz it's just gas. But then more people were like omg you must just be really in tune with your body xoxo enjoy those kicks.
Preg buzz is for morons.

------------ Didn't someone say in uo or fffc on this board that they want people to stop telling them they aren't showing yet because they don't know her pregnancy and she wants to enjoy it?

I think that was 1st tri.

Actually my mc over the summer I swore I felt the baby move at 10 weeks. I've had had two kids before and I knew what it felt like I was getting kicks in my stomach. I have spactisity in my muscles really bad and it goes away durning pregnancy. We'll come to find out my baby died and my body was twitching around my uterus making it feel like a baby kick. Later my neurologist explained anytime my body has a trauma it will do that. When I came home after the Dnc my husband could see my stomach kicking me. It's crazy shit!!!!

I completely agree... I'm 8 weeks, so I've been in this board for 4 weeks. Some mommies may be on for the first time tomorrow. Just because I ovulated 4 weeks before them and asked my "silly questions" at the beginning, doesn't mean they shouldn't ask theirs too. They get replies so obviously people care. If I don't want to see the same posts, I don't click. I agree that you do need to scroll thru a lot of pages, but I don't think most of us are here to have a political, religious, or any other debate like someone else suggested... We're here to ask questions and comment from/to other June mommies... That's my opinion!

mom2be614 · October 2013

Eh, I just skip the threads for conversations I've already participated in.

Luna C · October 2013

Not everyone reads every comment on every thread or looks back at all threads. Also, some people get here much later than others and didn't see the discussions where everyone decided to have one thread for these topics. It takes a little bit to learn the site when you're new to it.

Sure, but when people are posting questions like, "I have a history of fertility problems and started having severe, painful cramps with heavy bleeding -- should I call my doctor?" Or, "I'm 5w pregnant and having some nausea. Is that unusual?" I mean... come on. Some of these questions are just silly and make me wonder if the people posting them are actually serious or just trolling.

ETA: I don't know why my comment is showing up in the quote as well.
