What week did you feel the baby start moving?

Re: What week did you feel the baby start moving?
He had a pillow in his bed and destroyed it.. He also has this thing where he takes receiving blankets that we got him and he covers himself when he's cold.. It's absolutely adorable!!! He doesn't like thick blankets just something to cover himself!!
I answered the exact same question twice yesterday. Its just baffling that people are too lazy to read. In the time it took to make a whole new post dedicated to themselves, this person could have used the search function. And not found 1,2, or even 3, but probably 10 different threads on the exact same thing. Its extremely tiresome and quite frankly annoying to answer the same questions repeatedly when the answers are at people's fingertips. Its just laziness.
Change starts when we start expecting people to take personal responsibility for their lives. Change starts when we stop accepting ignorance and stupidity as humanity's default. Change starts when we teach someone to think for themselves instead of asking questions that are answered in every single resource on pregnancy available to them.
Why, oh why can't some folks recognize that this forum is not a doctor, search engine or Facebook? As others have said, redundant questions that anyone soon to be a parent should be capable of researching on their own and AW posts pushing valuable topics off page 1 are frowned upon. If I have a medical question, I call my doctor. If I'm curious about general pregnancy symptoms that I need not bother my doctor with, I pickup a book or ask Mr Google. If I want to AW (which BTW I don't care to do as I recognize it's not all about me), I go to Facebook. If my reminding someone of the aforementioned prevents a repeat situation, that is one more member of the community whose important topic won't get bumped down by absurdity. The larger problem is that some ladies here don't see beyond themselves to the impact had on others. That is the true tragedy.
Edited because words...
The report button is not a dislike button. THAT is in the bump guidelines.
Second, several folks pointed you in the direction to where you can receive a wealth of info on your Q. Had you really taken the time to digest the guidelines you would note that new members are encouraged to lurk to get to the know the community (we like discussing food BTW), use the search function and not misuse the report button simply because you don't like a response.
Third, several of us have expressed very valid reasons for not having individual topics on the same subject (there have been several movement threads lately). It is the attitude of entitlement that is hurting our and future generations. We seem to be in the "me me me" generation and the first response folks have is "I didn't get my way, so now I'm going to complain about/report you all". This same attitude is rubbing off on the next generation. A great baseball couch in my area was just fired as parents complained a level up about their high schooler not getting playing time and it "isn't fair". Kids at my karate organization who train hard to earn first place at a tournament can't receive said trophy/recognition because it "isn't fair" to the kids who didn't deserve to medal so everyone just gets a freakin ribbon. This attitude comes from the parents and it is exhibited frequently on this board. "It's not fair... I didn't get the attention/answer I wanted so I will complain and ruin the experience for everyone else". It's so sad.
It's hard to be a woman because we get paid less for doing the same job.
It's hard to be a woman because when we walk down a dark street alone we fear our lives and safety because we are easier to physically take down.
It's hard to be a woman in a man's field of work because people call you baby and sweetheart if you're polite. A bitch if you're assertive.
It's hard to be a woman because if you wear a cute outfit and a man says something that makes you uncomfortable or sexually assaults you it's your fault because you were "asking for it."
It's hard to be a woman because some women like to play the victim when other women have an established community where we encourage one another. When the former present the argument "it's hard to be a woman" over silly disagreements like standard protocol and manners it cheapens the sentiment and makes the people who need to hear it care less.
Please don't get it twisted.
