Re: I need to stay off the bump
yea, i pretty much stayed away until second tri.
just try to be positive. i think "cautiously optimistic" was the phrase we used.
Yeah. Stay away.
I was NEVER on TB when I was pregnant with JJ. Wait - I lied. I went on once during second tri, got irritated/freaked out and left. You're much better off staying away - I know you and baby will be fine!

I totally know what you mean, Marcy.
But we also have to keep in mind. We do not know how these women live their lives, their medical histor, etc...at all.
I try to stay off...but cannot always.
I jumped on my due date board once, there was just too many women to keep track of and I just don't have the time for it. I prefer to spend my time with you ladies
But yes, reading all of those posts can become very nerve-wracking and scary - step away, I repeat, step-away from them!
I'm not preg but I have just lurked over there for the heck of it....its depressing and some of those girls are down right b*tches! I agree with J most def...
I've been on my month board since I found out. Yes it can be depressing reading all the horror stories, but it's also nice to have others who are right along the same track.
You might feel stupid for asking something that's going on with your body, and then someone else steps up and you feel so reassured for reading a post that someone is dealing with the same thing you are.
I just never opened any of the sad ones. What also helped was the What to Expect When Expecting book & grab yourself a copy of Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs.
This cracked me up. I'm glad you feel that way. :P
I definitely recommend - if you haven't already - getting a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting. It helped me out a bunch.
I got The Mother of All Baby Books and I actually preferred that to "What to Expect...", but either way, having a book is helpful.
I was on my birth month board about a third of the way through the second tri so I missed much of the sad announcements. There were things throughout the pregnancy I preferred to talk to them about, mainly because I was trying not to bombard y'all with baby talk since I was pregnant right before the baby boom.I still check in over there but don't open many of the threads.
Now I prefer to ask the ladies on here with older kids (as in, older than May) questions because they have a better grip on situations. Also, and this is kind of funny, there are only three babies about May's age on here (and Tupp hasn't posted for awhile
), so if I AW her milestones, she gets more attention than over there. Is that self-absorbed? Most likely, but I can admit that I like my ego stroked.
