My little girl is kicking and stretching constantly in there! And now im able to see the little bumps physically on my belly. Anybody else having the same lovely experience? i am also 23 weeks
The feeling is amazing! This is my second one my first is 5 yrs old and shes excited to be an older sister. She felt the baby move and kick and her face was priceless! I felt this one in the middle of my second month. Just little flutters.
Just sticking up for myself. Guess thats frowned upon in here? And btw i was not saying every preggo woman. Just the ones who left rude comments. Im sure there are ones in here who are mature enough to just let it go and move on.

Calling us preggos is not going to make you any friends here. Just a heads up.
Why? Is that like a bad term or something? Have u not noticed i am one too? Are u not pregnant? Seriously? Lol i did not post this discussion to argue my God

I am not preggo or preggers. I am pregnant. I also know how to properly use capitals and punctuation.
Didnt think u guys take these things so seriously. Its the internet. Relax. Arguing with someone online is silly. I was just saying and sorry u guys took it the wrong way and thinking i am calling names. But tbh i read some comments and was like "wow" these ladies seem bitchy. Sorryy but it did. And no i am not calling anyone a bitch so dont freak out. And you are right i am never on here.only on to see whats up on my page and since my heart burn and sciatic is acting up tonight i decided to check some stuff out on this app. But holy crap, wish i didn't had i known this would have been blown way out of the water!
To make yourselves feel better you attack. Its like a lions den in here! Why would i get kicked? Am i making fun of you? Just getting a bunch ganged up on one person because she says something you dont like and im the bad one. Whatever. And btw idc how you think how superior you feel after this is all said and done. This is getting rediculous and the comments you ladies make are far worse than the one i made . Preggers or preggo. Find something better to stress yourself over.

[mustering every ounce of possible niceness] OP, you should consider lurking around and learning the culture of the board before posting further. The women here are lovely and knowledgable and will be an amazing resource for the remainder of your pregnancy if you get to know them and offer some support to folks in need before you AW and WK everywhere, thus alienating us all. You are the common denominator on what isn't working here. These are some helpful tips on how to right the ship here. Best of luck to you, should you decide to give it a shot. I won't hold my breath, as you seem to be rather in love with calling us hormonal immature preggos. Which is of course very mature.

I just have to say, everytime I see one of these threads by someone who doesn't hang out in this community often and just drives by- it makes me feel sad for them bc it makes me think of all the supportive and loving moments there have been on this board since the very beginning way back this summer that they have missed out on. I feel sad for you op bc you have missed out such a great chance to be part of something really special. I ❤️ all you ladies on here. Ok, that's the end of my mushy for the day...

Well said. I second this. You ladies (the regulars, not the drive-bys) are amazing.

Not the drive bys? You couldn't just not have said that?
By hits do you mean supportive comments? I'm taking that be what you mean. First, I am sorry for your previous loss, I had one this spring too and it is devastating. Since it was the spring and before this April 15 board existed, what board did you post on? Where you active on that board? I posted on here a while in the miscarriage board and the trying to conceive after loss board. I don't mean to sound disbelieving but it's so hard for me to believe that you posted about a loss on either of those boards and that people weren't supportive. Those are some of the most supportive and amazing women around who welcomed me from my first post with nothing but love. I'm sorry that your experience hasn't been what you would have hoped on the bump. I really do mean that.
@mama250 I am done engaging with you on any level after this, but to point out to you - again - what's not working for you, this example may help: I agreed with @bmblebea because she spoke about the loving and supporting nature of the regulars on this board. I'm sorry if it's too difficult for you to understand that drive-by participants - yourself included - are not included in that group. Understanding that might be a good first step in beginning to grasp why you aren't faring very well here so far.
I am sorry to hear of your loss in the spring, however it would appear this group would not have been around then, so not sure how we could have known. Regardless, as someone who has also experienced a loss, I frequently offer support to others who are experiencing loss and hardship because I recall how difficult it was. I notice that you have asked for our support and answers (when you aren't calling us names), but oddly I don't see much support in your activities.
Best of luck with your pregnancy.

No hits as in no responses. And maybe you are right about the month group. But i have posted it on one of these boards and i also did one earlier for this pregnancy because i had lots of bleeding. Which was really scary.
Support in my acitvites? Because i am not active enoigh om these boards except for recently?
People who do not offer support to other women but create their own posts and expect us to support them are frustrating. Especially when they refer to us as hormonal just because we don't like the post. This is the internet. You can post what you want, and we can comment how we want (as long as everything is kosher as far as TOU.) <<If I had a dollar for every time I feel like I've said this recently, dammit, I'd go to Disney World.
Well so it happens i rubbed everyone the wrong way. Sorry. i didn't think it was that serious. Tbh thought it was light and humorous. Aaaanndd i have heard the term preggo or preggers many times and not once have i seen anyone take it the wrong way or get offended by it. I am 26 and am mature for my age but i like to joke. Sorry it was misconstrued the wrong way

I really wasn't asking for support, just wanting to hear some stories about other women's baby's kick. But like i said earlier, i am new to the boards and thought it was like saying something on fb or along those lines. Fb but with strangers. I hardly go on groups like these because i know I'll get hooked.....like fb lol
Well its an apology. Take it or leave it. But for what i have been put down for i have not seen any apologies for that. Went as low as how i spell things or me posting "lol". Really? That does not show me any sort of maturity that i heard anybody has. I said i was sorry and instead of getting one back i get " that's not good enough" basically.
Fair enough. Guess like moving to a small town if nobody knows you they really don't care to. My bad for not posting since day 1 of me finding out i was pregnant. And i was not wanting any "ooh-ing" or "aahh-ing"

I've been here for a week and everyone has been super nice to me. The difference is, I spent the three day waiting period READING posts to get a feel for what it's like here. Had you done that, your experience now would be totally different because you probably would have started off on a different foot. The only person you have to blame for this reception is yourself.
Oh i got it. Do you? And no i have not been able to go on here and read and spend my time on the boards where i can be spending time with my kid. This time tho i have had a sleepless night. Therefore i am SO SORRY to have said the wrong shit at the wrong time.
OP, many women on this board are moms already, work full time jobs, have commitments with family and friends and have chosen to be a part of this community on a regular basis. If you don't want to join in and participate in the board in the way it's been established, then you should look for another "app" to post your random pregnancy musings on.
Yup and proud of it! But go ahead and continue on with your judgemental ways. Seems to be the only thing you know. I read some boards and now i truly dont want to be part of this. waste of my time. Guess if nothing suits your guys' criteria its frowned upon. I get it. Good day!

EVERYBODY SHE SAID GOODDAY!
I just spit water out all over my dog who was napping on my lap.
I'm sorry. I can't BELIEVE how patient and understanding everyone in this post has been.
The OP seems to have already left, but it makes me sad that after she came in here IMMEDIATELY insulting a bunch of strangers she got such a compassionate response and then STORMED OFF IN A HUFF AGAIN.
I've seen far less offensive posters get way fewer helpful responses. Helpful in terms of trying to actually become a member of the community instead of just being told to "gtfo" even when sometimes "gtfo" is very well deserved.
A+ everyone. I'm sorry this incredibly noble effort wasn't more successful. I was hoping OP would at least admit that she shouldn't have posted WK crap in the first place.
@mama250 , to reiterate what @Shadeauxe said, this has NOTHING to do with you being new. It is NOT like moving to a small town where everyone hates you because you are new. I've only posted here like 10 times and no one has been even slightly rude. People have been extremely helpful and welcoming to most new members. Your entitled and unapologetic attitude is 100% of the problem. That and your REFUSAL to read any of the stickies or other threads because you "don't have the time"
Tldr: These moms are all wonderful, but insults from drive by posters aren't welcome anywhere.
@mama250 I've read this whole thread, you are missing what everyone is telling you. I don't think this is the place for you. Plus it sounds like your super busy being a Mom. :-/
No hits as in no responses. And maybe you are right about the month group. But i have posted it on one of these boards and i also did one earlier for this pregnancy because i had lots of bleeding. Which was really scary.
Just as an aside, I don't know where/when she made these other posts. She joined here October, and only made 2 comments before this one - one about swamp crotch, and another about movement earlier in her pregnancy...

Also, it's not preggo. Preggo is a pasta sauce. Women are pregnant. It's just a pet peeve of mine and allot of people.
