Hi guys...I'm 17 weeks 4 days and I haven't gained a pound....I lost 6 due to morning sickness but only gained 4 back....so im still 2 pounds short of my pre-pregnancy weight. How normal is this? How much have you all gained.... #-o
If it annoys you that much, don't comment.......and surely there is a better way to convey your message than being such a negative nancy.....perhaps I wasn't aware of the other threads...perhaps im new to the site...thanks and have a blessed day.
-New member innocently asks a question that has been asked a dozen times before -members who have been around ask her to use the search feature to find the answer to her question, trying to help her out and point out to her there's an easier way -new member is usually offended and accuses old members of being unwelcoming -white knights come in throwing around terms like "mean girls" and "bullies" and get everybody fired up -new girl usually decides she'll just leave and announces this dramatically -all hell breaks loose -by this point helpful members who have been around get banned because others get easily offended
We know you meant no harm, but more often than not this is what happens when someone who hasn't been around a lot posts a repetitive question. I hope you understand why it can be frustrating and don't take offense and get to know the board to better your experience here
Welcome, please just take some time to read the guidelines at the top of the page before posting. In the guidelines it suggests that you read around before you post, and use the search feature to find answers to your questions before posting a new thread. There is so many threads with the same questions, and it gets repetitive. When this happens less people feel inclined to respond, again, with the same comments. You will find your time here much more helpful if you engage in posts that have already been started on the same topic, and you will find great answers and support there as well.
There have been several posts on similar topics in the past week, just search back a page or two, but also the link a previous poster shared, was probably the most recent, and very similar to your concern.
Sure I understand and thanks for your breakdown....however she did come off as offensive and I felt there could have been a better way to say it that's all.....
I've gained about 4 pounds so far. A coworker of mine has actually lost weight because she's not eating she is 20 weeks and still has no real appetite but idk if her Dr. is concerned. Has your eating changed at all?
You guys are so sour....... My question was never intended to come off as braggy.... It was a question for goodness sakes. Didn't know if ruffle so many feathers. L4rk just keep it moving aye? If us don't like the title... Don't read the thread... Some of you clearly have no friends outside of the bump
Really trying to figure out how I've ruffled so many feathers....please don't take your your personal problems on a thread here. You guys have a blessed day!
I think the reason that some other women are getting upset is because we literally just got done reading a post that turned into a storm from hell. It started off similarly asking about weight gain, which is obviously a sensitive topic bc hormones and we are women... Lol. Either way, if you enjoy reading The Bump it's also really tiring to get people that come on just to use it as their own Google instead of participating. That's why the girls before me directed you to things similar that have already been posted to help you find a place for future posts like this. Some of us really enjoy the positive dialogue but it's really hard to get that if there are 50 posts in one day about the same thing, especially ones that were sensitive Or not well received. I hope that doesn't sound like babbling. Lol sorry for my novel! I'm a talker.
BUT my mom didn't gain any weight with me until the third trimester because she was so sick and then she gained her weight. Everyone's body is different and normal for you might not be normal for someone else! If your doctor isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry about it.

This. There was a thread about being skinny and pregnant that was on page one all day and it ended badly. The previous poster's less than positive reaction was because of that drama.
When you sign up for an account on here, you get a message from The Bump saying there is a 72 hour waiting period and that you should look around and read previous posts before jumping in. That includes a sticky at the top of page 1 asking you to use the search feature before asking questions that have been answered 500 times. The number of people who don't follow this very basic courtesy is astounding and it gets old for those of us who have been around and followed the instructions.
We very much welcome active participation by those willing to follow the guidelines established by The Bump. If you are willing to do that, awesome! If not, we may not be the community for you. Just a heads up. :-)
I understand completely tinydancer. My point is I asked a question and felt attacked like wolves....I'm sure weight is a sensitive subject for many...I didn't mean to offend but I don't appreciate being attacked...

Please just let it go and join in. It's been a rough day.
In the future this is a better thing to ask on the symptoms thread so people can contribute. There's a new symptoms thread every day and it gets lots of traffic so you will get good advice.
If your doctor isn't worried I wouldn't stress. With my first pregnancy I didn't really gain much and it wasn't until the 3rd trimester. This time I've lost about 20lbs so far. It's different every time

This is simply what I was trying to say but I'm just a hater.

I know. Like I said, it wasn't really about you. It's been a long day around here. :-)

In the TW post that people should not be attacked and please don't tell me what to do you weren't so just let it go before I wasn't trying to come off rude yet you and others assumed I was a hater.

You were white knighting over there and certainly did not say it in the same way that @TinyDancer51510 did. No need to bring that drama back over here. We are all just over it.

Where is the sanity left on this board right now? Is this real life?
We gave the OP a link to another similar post to this. SNOOP HAS LOST TWENTY LBS. and she posted it in the correct threads. She knows that her doctor is not concerned.
There is absolutely no reason for this post, @msrere1985 if you have weight questions or comments please check out the other thread link that the ladies posted. This one will be dead in the water soon enough.
Enough @msrere1985 You have made your point. People are having a bad day so enough. Go ahead and call me out if you want but I'm done. I haven't even been here for all of it. Enough is enough right now please let it die. Everyone is high strung. The Internet is a difficult place to pick up on tone, meaning, etc. but you've now tried to stir the pot on two pages. We understand your point but sometimes we have to let things go. I'm included... Tempers need to fade on both sides. But this needs to stop.
Sorry op that is all I will be posting on here and I'm sorry your post has been high jacked. It seems like a rough day has occurred.
Let's please do our best to support each other. Understand that no one on here is intentionally trying to be a biatch... I've lurked long enough to know that the sense of humour can be taken wrong but people are blowing out of proportion.
I wish all nothing but sweet dreams and happy mornings

I'm don't have weight questions I just replied to the OP about her question I'm confused I am just defending myself dmrice64 had the question not me. What is everyone's issue with me I'm not trying to be rude or mean but its ok for me to be called a hater if you all said calling someone a bully is not right than neither is being called a hater. I'm tired of being attacked i really would like to be apart of the community sorry if I've offended ne 1 I just would like some respect

Do y'all not have doctors that tell you when they're concerned??
Just trying to make your day easier, I think you're working too hard and that's why you haven't gained any weight.
You might not like what we have to say at first, but we're pretty awesome if you make any attempt to blend into the community.
