Is this any better than Babycenter?

I'm looking for a website that isn't as hostile to go on for this pregnancy. I used BBC my last pregnancy and it ended up not liking it because of all the negativity. Is this site any better?

  • In the past, it seems the BMB's stick together a little more and are less snarky than some of the other boards, but it is still the Internet.

    Hmm... This is interesting. I was wondering the same thing, and I think the responses here may have answered it for me. I'm usually a really sarcastic person, but the tone on this board might not be a fit for me right now. Good to know, actually. Might hang around for a while to see if other voices joining in changes the tone. To be fair, I have also seen some very kind and thoughtful things said here.

    Aaaaaand there's our GBCB.

    Bye.

    If possible I would prefer a gif from the end of Inglorious Basterds when Landa says "That's a BINGO"....I only rememeber that because we just watched it, but it's effing hilarious ;)

  • To anyone who does not want drama while pregnant, What to expect groups are much nicer and less "snarky." My honest opinion, I haven't read anyone sounding rude to others on there or name calling. I feel like they are more sensitive to the fact that when writing, the reader often doesn't understand if it's humor or rudeness. And no one is cursing at each other. Ladies, you don't need to entertain someone trying to get a response out of you. I didn't read this whole thread I was just going to answer the initial question but why get nasty w each other? This is worse than the high school I work in. I don't need drama at home too. Have great pregnancies and best wishes. I'm out even if people are going to be weeded out by the monitor.
  • After reading the first post I was going to ask the OP if she was new to internet forums. They all work pretty much the same way and there is some basic etiquette that you need to know (search before posting, respect the culture, if you want to receive support you need to contribute, etc.) or everywhere you go people are going to seem snarky and unsupportive and it's going to be a big shitshow.

    But um… backing out slowly now…
