I thought I would join the boards for support during my first pregnancy- boy was I wrong! A simple question (not me- you have to wait for 72 hr after account creation to post) about a first time pregnancy test and the poster is flamed as "arrogant" and "insensitive" to mothers who who have experienced a loss. You can't post your own question or you will be shamed for not "lurking" enough. Anyone who others deem as asking a stupid question is deemed "lazy." WTF? There are more than 15 pages of rules to follow before you can post, and a glossary of terms to memorize. Oh, and you have to post a trigger warning before talking about practically anything related to the reproductive process in order not to offend anyone. I am disgusted at the cruelty and arrogance of women who should be supporting each other through a difficult time. Do these women have anything better to do than to tear each other down during another's the most vulnerable time? Avoid, avoid, avoid!
