There is a group of known bullies on this community platform attacking women. They have attacked me and other ladies have dm'ed and posted on my post going back and forth with them that they have attacked them as well. They are unfortunately the leaders of my birth club, May 2023 birth club and others. I will insert names known to the community as bullies.

I'm a first time mom and I decided to use this platform to get insight from older seasoned women not to be attacked and bullied. They should be removed from ANY leadership position IMMEDIATELY! This has apparently been going on for years with the same bitter group of old hags bullying younger women. I will not stand for it and will continue to report them and speak my peace. I have blocked them and they continue to harass me. I have now been removed from the pregnancy group and my birth club group while they still get to go on and bully other women. THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ENTIRE PLATFORM. Im not going to let them run me off this platform but other mothers might not be as strong as me and these people representing your business is not a good look on baby center.

So so interesting!

It is the joy of most mothers to be pregnant. If it is a planned pregnancy it is a jubilation. It's wonderful to be carrying a human being inside of you. If it's your first pregnancy it can be a little overwhelming and you may become a little anxious if you have no knowledge of what to expect, the do's and don't and just having an overall knowledge of your pregnancy.

That was my experience with my first pregnancy until I found this website Baby Center. It is a great website. If you are finding it difficult to conceive they give you information of what you can do to make it possible. There is the ovulation calendar that you can use to assist in this area.

It helps you to keep track of your pregnancy from conception to birth. You are able to track your baby's development, you can sign up with them and receive weekly emails that detail your child development. You are able to subscribe to free email newsletter that can help you to gain information about your baby's development week by week. They have a forum for moms where you can go and get support and share advice from moms whose babies are the same age as yours. You can make selection of baby's names and also see the meaning of these names. There is a due date caledar that can help you to calculate so that you can know when you should give birth. There is also the development calendar to help you track your baby's development, it makes you more aware of whether your baby is growing okay. There are a lot more features to baby center that can help all mothers who are planning to get pregnant, expectant mothers and new mothers.

What I also loved about baby center too is that even after you have delivered your baby they still keep in touch and you can still visit as your baby grows and get additional information in order to make sure that your baby is following the milestones of develoment.

My baby is now seven years old going on eight and most of the information about pregnancy and taking care of a baby I have received from baby center. It was my first pregnancy and I can tell you they really helped expecially the community forum where I spent a lot of time with mothers who shared with me on a regular basis and I shared with them too. In fact I had friends whom I regularly communicated with on baby center. Baby center helped to make my pregnancy a fun one.

I would recommend baby center to all mothers who want to conceive, who are expecting and who already have children and need to share information about their babies. You have nothing to loose, everything to gain. So have fun with your pregnancy and while you do hav fun with baby center.

1. The birth boards: its like mob mentality. Everyone thinks their child has either reflux, lip/tongue tie, or whatever problem is trending at the moment. There are members that hang out with the only purpose of disrupting and upsetting. DO NOT ask a question about immunization, breastfeeding, formula feeding, being a stay-at-home mom because you will be pounced on. It is an alternate universe where formula feeding is as wholesome as breastfeeding (nothing wrong with formula feeding but human beings, like all mammals, were meant to drink milk from their mothers) and if you say otherwise, you will be crucified and called everything in the book. Not vaccinating is as ok as vaccinating. There is no wrong answer. Its crazy!

2. The Groups: Another alternate universe where everything goes. People make threads where they are allowed to be openly racist, sexist, make fun of subjects as child abuse, molestation, rape, and make fun of people with disabilities. They ysually include a statement such as "Don't open if easily offended." on the title to be able to get away with compiling the most offensive, horrible stuff they can come up with. If you don't agree with the common consensus, no matter how messed up it is, they single you out, bully you, report you, insult you, and to top it off, the Group Owners, will rudely openly and publicly accuse you of being disruptive and delete your posts. Recently there was a thread about a married woman who went out with a male friend, got drunk, and took him to her place to spend the night, while her husband was on a business trip. Apparently the mother in law thought this was proof of infidelity and accused her of cheating during a party. A member of that group posted how the mother in law's behavior was wrong but that married women should not give the appearance of impropriety. The members of that board pounced on her immediately. Accused her of being religious. She denied it and all of a sudden the lady was publicly humiliated by the Group Owner and told that her posts were deleted because she was disruptive and because she engaged in a religious debate. There was no religious debate. Those folks who accused her of being religious were the ones being disruptive but they are buddies with the Group Owners so its OK. I was sickened by this obvious censorship and favoritism and left the site for good.

If you have any type of traditional values don't bother with babycenter. Its OK to have threesomes, for married women to go on trips with male friends, for couples to be secretive with each other, etc but if your traditional values and views are expressed you are labeled judgmental.

If you're having marital problems, the majority will tell you to separate / file for divorce. If you are having problems with your in-laws, they will be quick to tell you to cut them off out of your life, and if your spouse doesn't agree then you must separate / divorce. If you happen to be in disagreement with this advice, you will be pounced on, singled out, humiliated, and insulted.

The biggest issue with this site is that its been allowed to run amok, The Group Owners have their favorites and these women run the show. There can never be a reasonable discussion.

There are so many sources of information out there now that there is no need to waste time in a site such as babycenter.
