I need to stop reading those threads over there. I can honestly say that some of the women on that board somehow have the ability to put me in a worse mood than any person I physically have around me. Slamming. Head. Into. Wall.
Yes! I made a Bump Resolution for the new year to stay away. I did end up checking out the one thread someone linked from here, where the poster when BSC about her 7 week appointment being cancelled, but I'm staying away from reading any other threads. Way too much stoopid.
How do you even see these lol I laugh sometimes when you guys post them but I'm on mobile and only get this forum for some reason
On my iphone on TB mobile, I have the "my birth club" forum, but then over to the side it says "forums" that's how I see the other forums when I'm on mobile. Maybe yours isn't set up the same?

The milkshake question was classic. She was asking if the drink she took from her husband's milkshake was safe/ok because it didn't say pasteurized on the bottle. The make-up question was good too.
Not only are a lot of the things asked just off the wall, but the amount of people over there just waiting for those off the wall questions/comments is heightened too. I'm not saying these members don't offer support or help at all, but the responses to these ridiculous questions is what provides half the entertainment!
@MamaMkay - that thread surprisingly has not blown up yet. Go be that person that starts that PLEASE. I'm bored with all the other ones now. I never have the guts to comment on any of these because I know that it will take over my day more than it already does...
I put it down to 1st tri hormones. I remember it being pretty crazy over here when we were all in our 1st tri, but it seems to have calmed down now. I know that hormones can make you snappy, but I didn't realise it made some people completely and utterly illogical.

From what I've seen, I could be wrong because I'm just a big time lurker over there, but the majority of the illogical people are the ones that are in their 1st trimester and could POSSIBLY be chalked up to hormones. The snarky/snappy comments are mainly from people that have previously had children or are further along. Again... This just from what I've seen and, like I said at the beginning, these same snarky commenters do offer quite a bit of helpful info and support along with being snappy.
I will say that the hormonal 1st trimester "dummies" per say do seem to be the ones that after getting a snarky response from another member, fly off the handle and really show their crazy. And when that happens... My whole day is wasted.
You mean you didn't see the "milkshake" question! Even that one had my DH rolling....with all the gifs and stuff! It was pretty funny!
Was it one of those "I ate/drank xyz and now I'm afraid my baby will be one of the x-men?" type of things?
Yes!!! She drank 2 sips of her husbands milkshake and freaked out because she didn't know if it was pasterized! That one is worth reading..just for the gifs!

The first tri board has always been ridiculous...on both sides. It was this way even when I had my DS. There are a ton of stupid questions asked over and over again and a lot of flaming. What really annoys me is the amount of misinformation I regularly see spoken as gospel.

Ok, I got sucked in. And almost went down the rabbit hole when I saw another thread by the girl that went BSC about her 7 wk appointment being cancelled.
I can not believe the post about the canceled appointment is still going on. And it continued into a nub post.

Bitches over there need to let things lie. Its like a darn playground. At least here if someone says something blameworthy in UO or FFFC, it's forgotten about in a couple of days. On 1st tri it's like they take the bait and run with it. Just chill. You don't have to be over the top bitches about everything! People ask stupid questions sometimes, but you don't have to call them out about it in every thread or create new ones about it. I guess our hormones have settled over here.

@ErBear1010 - You're in for a 4 header for sure. Hope you didn't have the whipped cream and cherry, too. I heard that causes 15-toe syndrome. Just sayin'.
I have literally not clicked once on any of the trimester boards during this pregnancy. There is nothing to be gained there. During my pregnancy with DD, all the miscarriage hysteria (not by people who were actually miscarrying - just by everybody paranoid that they would) made me so much nervous than I would have been on my own, that I decided I needed to take a break from TB altogether for a few weeks.

For the sake of your H... DO IT.
For the sake of your sanity... STAY FAR AWAY.
The make-up question was good too.
