It seems tons of people left The Bump for another parenting site after The Bump changed some of their posting rules. It seems that there's no one left here.
I feel like the big leave was overly dramatic. I don't get what happened that made so many leave.
I was here during my whole pregnancy. Agree that the whole mass leaving was a little over dramatic still not 100% what happen to cause it.
Havn't posted a lot because I have been too busy. Plus doesn't seem like I have missed a whole lot doesn't seem to be many people posting a lot these days anways
Ps... Some of the posters who left were often pretty rude and wrote either disrespectful or condescending comments, which isn't necessary when you are talking among pregnant women anyway. We are here for you guys, especially now that we have babies . We need to stick together, not rip each other to pieces.
I was here my whole pregnancy, didn't post much. I posted once when my LO was about 7 weeks, asking a question, and was totally berated and cut down, so haven't posted since then. Don't need to be bullied by other moms who are supposed to be supportive.
I have followed & read since about 4 months into my pregnancy. I don't really post because my questions or thoughts are usually already posted. My daughter was born November 28, 2014.
My husband (28) & I (24) are expecting our first baby this fall!
I just watch from afar. There were too many rude remarks on some of the posts. I posted once a suggestion, info from my Dr, and was cut down so I gave up. I read on here now just to see what others are up to. It's ridiculous for people to think there is only 1 right way to raise kids when theirs culture, preference, and babies with unique needs. I come here for ideas. Maybe something I didn't think to try. Within reason of course.
I was also here the majority of my pregnancy, but after LO was born, there was no more time. Today I was bored at work and suddenly thought of this board and came on to see how everyone was doing. It sure felt nostalgic.
I've been here from the beginning and like some of the previous posters I posted a question about baby showers and was shocked at how rude some of the women on here were for NO REASON. I stopped checking in and didn't come back. Not to mention I'm super busy now that I'm back to work. I didn't even know about the mass exodus from this group until now. I was invited to a mom's page on Facebook and found them to be so supportive and friendly. Now that most of the rude people that were on here are gone maybe I'll stop by here more often. Hi to all of the nice moms out there! Hope you're hanging in there with your 6 month olds ☺️
Hi! I'm here too, but I felt the same... So many haters, because as vmain said, there is people that doesn't respect different points of view... For example, I don't agree with CIO sleep training but not because of that I'm going to be rude and insult moms (specially new moms as me that we are nervous, anxious and vulnerable) just because they are asking or thinking about doing it... It would be better if we help each other, with information, advice, etc... We don't know what people is going through... Nowadays there are a lot of haters in the social networks... It's soooo sad for me to see that and thinking in how it is going to be for my daughter when she is a teenager... Isn't enough with bullies at school? Now we have to deal with bulling in our social networks... Wow!!! This isn't what I want for my daughter! And I'm going to talk about it with her one day, for sure, it is one of our responsibilities with our kids, but it's getting more and more important everyday to teach them how to be strong, how not to be affected by others' comments... And we need to be considered with other's differences as well... It's really sad what it's happening now! But maybe this hate was always out there... But now it's easier to feel it because you just can write anything you want.... Well, sorry for the long message and for my English... English is my second language! All the best and all the strength we need in this new time of our lives! And remember, there are too many haters, but we are not all heaters!!! Hugs!!!
For my entire pregnancy I found the ladies on here to be fun, entertaining, and honest. I was pretty active and wouldn't call anything I remember bullying.
Just like anything, you get what you give. Lucky for me, I've got some great girlfriends for life from this group and am calling BS on those who think the exodus was "overly dramatic" and that the regular posters were "haters."

I'm tempted to let this die....BUT....Really @vmain? Funny...your first comment is from January 2015...

What was your username then? I want to know how you were berated and cut down? I can't look at your comment history because this account was created in April of this year.
This was something to read at 2am after reading a million baby articles. I was pretty unsure of posting as a new mom and when I finally did I didn't have a great experience. The point was to watch how you talk others because we are all just moms trying our best. There are ways to not be rude while explaining you don't think letting your baby cio is a good idea. Regardless of when I posted people being nasty to people is still awful.
Wow...I've been here since my pregnancy too but most of you ladies have been nasty from day one so I never said a word. I just recently came back and made a few comments since I hadn't been on in so long. I found other forums to join and made wonderful and lifelong friends from those forums. Not once did I feel attacked, judged, or belittled like many women seem to feel here and that's how it should be! We are all moms and we are all doing the best we can, there is no need to be rude and judgmental and make snark comments to anyone! We are NOT in middle school ladies.
That's nice for you. Hope you enjoyed babycenter. We were here being real with each other, and making much more then friends, I'd call it family. If you thought we were "rude and judgemental", we didn't need you anyway, and clearly we weren't "rude and judgemental" enough to keep you away for the long term--shame...
