The admin of the site ban anyone conservative. It is perfectly fine to get your child a sex change but god forbid you support Trump. If you want people to talk to join a parenting group on Gab.com where you won't ever be censored or treated like an idiot for asking a question.
Started out on the TTC Warriors thread and went up to chapter 5 when they suddenly got a "private group" and bluntly told me I would not be invited but people who had just joined that thread were invited. Very rude people. The staff will not take care of harassment or personal attacks. This site is very unhealthy and I would advise everyone to stay away.
I thought this was a real community where you could express your concerns and embrace pregnancy. However after sharing some intimate details about my life, I was personally verbally abused, victimized and attacked. I will never recommend this website to anyone ever again. They need to clean up their boards and users that have nothing better to do than to pry and judge innocent people. Shame on this community! If I could give 0 stars I would.
I feel like BBC really dropped the ball on the community pages, my advice is to stay away from the communities! Its such a shame because BBC posts some great articles and information. But when it comes to the communities watch out! The women on there are hateful and full of spite! These women obviously haven't outgrown the need for drama and bullying from high school. God forbid their bullying would provoke someone into hurting themselves! I feel that even the most mentally stable person could be sent over the edge with the way these women bully and belittle. The group owners are no help, they are the ones instigating and provoking the drama/bullying 99% of the time. The break the guidelines themselves yet they will remove and delete other people for the same things they themselves are doing. Very disappointed!
Ask for others with similar symptoms in a forum and you get a bunch of rude nasty comments from people on the right way they think you should be trying to make a baby. Wow really insane people on there stay clear trust me
The information regarding the milestones of baby in the womb are great but you can get the same from other apps like "what to expect" but when it comes to the boards?! OMG stay clear! It's full of ignorant immature girls that clearly have nothing better to do than talk down to others and start drama! It's like high school all over again! Stay away it's not worth the added stress and negative energy it leaves u with.
This site is for any mom who thinks they're perfect. Seriously had it for two weeks and got shot down left and right. All I wanted was a little advice and I left feeling depressed. These ladies all think they have every answer when in reality, they have no clue. Being a perfect mom is not sitting online all day bashing women who come for help. There are a few decent ones on there, but the crazies really stand out.
Full of ignorant, unsupportive women who like to denigrate reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, and even intentions (I was a "white knight" or a "unicorn" for a woman who was being judged harshly and cruelly) when you stand up to their bullying. A cesspool of the worst tendencies of humanity. How can people be this cruel to vulnerable pregnant women (presumably in the same situation as they are)? It is truly disturbing to consider that the mean girls who hunt through the communities to attack users they don't like are going to be in charge of the care of children.
I posted two different times, looking to build community or needing support. There are some nasty people out there, just looking to troll. I thought it would be a safe space, but I had my rude awakening multiple times. I will be deleting the APP, which is sad because I thought it was about women building up and supporting women - being that we're all going through the same things (at least that's what I thought).
What should be a forum for supporting parents is merely a cesspool for drama and absurdity. I haven't witnessed this kind of behavior since Junior High. The "group owners" are no better and often at the center of the ridiculous banter among group members. It's truly troubling to think that the people making such posts are responsible for the well being of small children.
I feel like this site is full of a group of old hags who was to belittle you. Not worth the time, it's actually quit sad the way they treat people. If you simply don't know what they're talking about, they seriously belittle you like you're stupid. They have acronyms for stupid things like DH which means dear husband or DTD which means sex. Because they're so into feeling like they belong to a group in this world when really they're just on their phones or computers bullying you. If I could rate the site less than a 1 star I would.
So catty, and the "rules" sound like something out of 1984, but are really just arbitrary. If you disagree with favorite members, your comments are deleted, while vile and insulting comments are left up. It is absolute madness. Do NOT use the boards!
* This is a review for the community forums specifically*
On any average day, a "who's my baby's father" post will end up with 100+ responses. A post asking for children's book recommendations gets about 3. Enough said.
Seems like there's a lot of $#*!y, rude women on baby center. It's odd because i guarantee these woman would never speak to someone in that manner if it were face to face. These women are taking out their anger and frustrations by being horrible to other people on baby center. Some of them probably do it for attention.
Baby Center is an absolutely TERRIBLE site. They have groups of internet trolls who bash and offend Moms for nothing and they will do it in groups like high school mean girl cliques. I saw one girl totally shamed over having a liberal arts degree. When you report harrassment, the site does nothing about it. An absolutely terrible community.
The community is awful. It's simply full of people looking to put other mothers down. I joined with excitement as a first-time mom and am waiting for them to delete my account (you cannot do it yourself, they have to delete it for you) because there is only hate.
Stay away from this horrid place. It's replete with immature and rude people that have nothing better to do than ridicule and attack others. The community rules on the boards make zero sense (you can ridicule someone from dusk till dawn, but you can't 'call' someone 'rude' because that is a 'personal attack,' just to give you an example). Just as someone else wrote in their review - the average level of discourse there is on the level of about junior high. It was a mistake to join, instead of getting help, my stress level went up after seeing so many other posters literally attacked and ridiculed and it ended up in me being attacked and actually bullied in the end as well as I was trying to defend someone and their right to NOT be attacked and ridiculed. I asked for my account to be deleted - still waiting for it to be done. Let's hope it doesn't take much longer. I don't want to be associated with this cesspool.
I gave this site a one. The reason being is b/c as though it can be helpful at times when you have a question or just need advice on motherhood it also can be a place full of internet violence b/w some women. I have seen the most horrible language, the most nasty x-rated comments and post, I have also seen what we call internet bullies. Moms bullying other moms and this site is suppose to be mainly helpful. I don't call that helpful. In fact I call that downright pathetic that there are that many so called "women" who are suppose to be "moms" speak this way. No wonder we as a society want to know what is wrong with the kids these days. Just look at this site and you will see it's all b/c of what they are being raised around. If you see trash like I have seen on babycenter.com then you will know is their momma's.
The worst advice sight I have ever experienced. Most of these women are vicious. They are so quick to be very mean, get defensive, jealous, they judge, bash, bully, and tear others down on the birth clubs. Especially October 2014. These women have nothing nice to say or anything better to do. If you ever have to post a comment or ask a question be very extremely careful what you say on them. I do not -DO NOT recommend posting anything or commenting at all -EVER- on this sight. If your a new mom or pregnant and looking for support, loving warm welcomes, and advice this is NOT the site. I've also been a victim and want to delete my account. I give it -1000 stars if I could... :(
Completely appalled by the negativity from the people on her, even the "moderators". Such hostility and very attacking. Told the group "moderator" that I would be terminating my account and she sent a very vehement response back to me.
