@cris0507 , I agree with you entirely. I have never really felt uncomfortable with this group till reading all the sassy comments on this post. I'm a first time mom. My husband and I have no family in the state. I have a full-time, very stressful job and don't have time to devote full-time commenting, liking, quoting on this discussion board. But it's given me a sense of comfort to have it here and to know there are other women I can reach out to. Now I'm not so sure. Thin skin? Maybe. First time pregnant and feeling a bit isolated right now? Definitely. I am disappointed and embarrassed by how people on here are talking. And I have seen the posts where some of you have written truly wonderful and supporting comments to other women who need emotional support throughout pregnancy.. But that doesn't excuse being mean here. I'm bummed out that I will not be participating in this community any longer, but it is not something I want to be a part of.
I don't get all the white knight action tonight...one was already banned in record time, another (looking at you @samanthaloyd ) said the most disturbing thing I've seen on the bump in 2 years...and you're STILL going at it? I'll admit, I've been a white knight once or twice in my bump days, but there comes a time when you need to abandon a sinking ship.

As also a first time mum, you should hope that you can ask other mums for there opinions and advice but apparently this community is being over run by power tripping/hormone raging sociopaths!
A simple, you may just be bloated would have been fine - but no you crazy people have too go out of your way too make another expectant mother feel like crap!
I have a lot of these apps - and the woman on this particular one are ridiculous, you are not sass queens so please shut the hell up
what is everyones problem on here. i have read post after post of the same exact people giving sarcastic, rude, and unnecessary comments. you can easily skip past this. you dont need to respond to every post. she was excited about something and you SAME people put her down, you can easily tell her "its probably just bloating". or again, just skip past. no need for the rude gifs either. your all. some grown ass women. act like it.
the thing that @GFJ48 just posted is another unnecessary thing. how old are you? you have to use gifs on here like some high school teenager. use your words, your not a baby. seeing how a lot of you act, im suprised your mature enough to be having sex and having a baby, us new mom, or first times mom come here for support, like i said, it can easily be passed over.
yeah the gif and comments you post are full of support! i came onto this just a few days ago and just ran across this post a while ago because i was wondering the same as her and thought if was showing or if it was just bloating and i read thru to read the replies and before i finished the first page, i was disgusted at how you "supportive" mothers (to-be) can act. i have a 5 year old niece who acts better than this, so you can just "shut your mouth" like you felt was extemely necessary and okay to tell me. @GFJ48

A) I don't think being mature is a prerequisite to have sex or a baby. Have you watched 16 & Pregnant before?
You're being pretty insensitive. My H & I have been trying for 2 years to have a baby and suffered a m/c in the process. I know I'm not the only one here who has had a long journey to get to this point so I don't appreciate you writing off our feelings & the difficulties we've been through to hopefully bring home our rainbows.
C) Maybe if you looked around and stopped focusing on yourself to offer support, even if it's just hugs, to other ladies here, you would realize what this place is all about. Instead of attacking those who actually do support others.

im being insensitive? seriously? never did i once say anything about having a MC or any pregnancy problems. i was talkng about how insensitive they are being and rude. never would i comment something ugly about a miss carriage or anything of that matter. and im deeply sorry for what you had to go thru, but that doesnt make it okay to act like children. my original post on here was only me saying how rude these people are being for absolutely no serious reason. and i was so disgusted by how rude and childish people were acting like it was okay..and im more than happy to give support, but when this is the first post ive read since i got onto this app, it isnt a good look and it makes me sick knowing that we are all expecting mothers and people are acting so ugly because someone was "being lazy and stupid", as a lot of people said, and posted their own question instead of hopping onto someone elses.. so dont come to me like im the one being rude and inconsiderate and insensitive. when i was told to "shut my mouth" then threatened by @NariaDreaming to be banned, instead of them. @blackbird818
@jgalvan24 I hate to contribute to bumping the thread...but I just want to let you know that Naria's message is not a threat. She is a moderator for The Bump, meaning it is her responsibility to deliver warnings if people are violating the guidelines. Whether it's a newbie or a regular who steps out of line, it's part of the protocol that was put in place by the real bosses at The Bump corporate offices.

@blackbird818 so positive and supportive. those kind of posts are what make me excited to see how ignorant and disrepectful your children are going to be. im a lot smarter then you think, or know. have a happy healthy future. :-h

It's really pretty shitty to attack or speak ill of people's children. That is something I would never do, and hopefully my children will follow in my footsteps in that sense. Toodles and bless your heart.
PS I really have to stress the proper use of grammar. Your posts are hurting my eyes. @-)
