    Oh dear, no one is being hazed. If you can't handle being corrected when there is misinformation, then go somewhere else. For real.

    No one needed to tell me "oh yeah you are totally showing" but the way some people answered is just rude, if you don't wanna look at my picture then don't look at it, nobody is asking you to. Most of this women that comment rude remarks are probably older than me and I would have replied more respectful and less harsh. I understand other people have posted this same things before I apologize for not getting that far back on the posts! But you can clearly see the title of the post so if you have already seen them previously then just don't open them. I appreciate that you corrected me, just not the way you did it. And attacking that girl for posting the guidelines was not necessary, she was trying to help, so don't say you guys weren't attacking anyone because clearly you did. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. I am a new mom and came to this app because I don't have anyone actually but myself, I have no one to go to and ask questions about pregnancy and what's going on with my body, I go to the Internet but there are many different things out there and don't know which one to believe, I apologize for sharing something I didn't know about. I won't post anything that will bother you "old moms". Got nothing further to say. Thanks

    You need to get a grip and stop calling people old, when you have no clue of anyone's age here. Take your own advice about not saying anything unless it's nice.

    Reason why I quoted "old moms" I wasn't referring to your age I was referring to you having previous pregnancies. :).

    I may be young, but I have respect. More than most that commented back. I'm not trying to make friends, just seeking for help I don't have. If you aren't the helping kind then just don't reply and that's it. Quit looking for reasons to lash at me. :). ️Bye

    I'm so sorry they're attacking you too. I feel like we're in a full fledged "mean girls" online community and it's pretty sad. Some people just can't leave highschool behavior behind

    @ashleywarmington Lol this is just ridiculous. Instead of trying to help they make fun of us. But it's okay, I know where my maturity level is at:)

    Ignore everyone who is being nasty and argumentative. I'm very new to this too and have no idea about anything - hence the reason for joining this community. It's a special and emotional time, and every single body change is exciting and we want to look it up. I don't blame you for asking, it's a first pregnancy and that's what this community is for. Maybe the people who have a problem should just skip over these posts instead of being so mean.

    I understand that, it's just the way some of the informed replies were worded - some seemed quite patronising which was bound to stir up emotions. I now know that it will be bloating at this stage, which I learned from your replies; I just know that if I was the OP, I would have felt a bit ganged up on, which is unfair for a girl who is alone at a scary time and just seeking advice from mother hens who may have more experience.

    Obviously things are lost in translation over the internet because I didn't find anyone's responses patronizing. (I think that's the word you are looking for). And you must be new because white knighting is looked down upon in these parts :)
    Actually, the word I was looking for is 'patronising', as obviously it would mean that I'm in the UK; but thanks for that. In fact, you are the only person who seems to jumping in and upsetting people with the way you are coming across. I don't know what 'white knighting' is, but I do know what bullying is. Some people find that upsetting, and like to stick up for people that are obviously upset.

    White knighting is a term used on the bump to refer to someone that jumps onto a post to defend another person, even when that other person has stopped posting

     

    This is just an informative reply

    Be very careful with the word bullying. It's a very touchy subject these days. By you using it so freely, it takes away from people who are really being bullied. That is not fair to them. Please keep the word sacred and don't use it to describe internet conversation.
    "bully
    ˈbʊli/
    verb
    use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone)"

    This is how you come across to me.
    Just because you have 'been there and done that', it does not give you the right to talk down to people in an intimidating and rude manner.

    I regret joining this community. I came on here excited to share my news and speak to other excited mummy-to-bes. Now I am close to tears at an already emotional time.

    If you are tired of the same questions then don't read the posts! I am so happy for all of us! I don't care why your tummy is sticking out bloat, baby or giant cheeseburger! We are all beautiful pregnant women!
