For the viewing convenience of my dear fellow Jezzies:

Currently using Baby Center and I tried What to Expect for a minute. Between those forums and googling random questions and coming across a variety of pregnancy forums online, I’ve realized the majority of pregnant people are just a bit too...intense (to be polite). Just shitty to each other and generally not offering…

Hi! I’m 15 weeks and using the What to Expect and Baby Center apps for the articles and stuff, but mostly steer clear of messaging boards because I’d rather ask my doctor when it’s something important. Anyway, if you want to talk I’m here :)

Hey. 75% shut in here, trying to get pregnant. I have two teenagers so if you have questions, I’d be happy to answer or share stories. I saw on another comment that you, like me, do not find stuff like meet up helpful.

Congrats to you too!! Maybe we should create our own app for reasonable adult pregnant people.

You could also try groups on Facebook, though it can be hard to find without knowing someone as the good ones are usually private/secret groups.

Hi! Fellow pregnant lady who uses Glow here. I am 11 weeks (tomorrow), with twins, and my husband and I have told very few people. Glow has its ups and downs for me personally. I like that there is this place full of women who are going through all of the changes and excitement that I am. And their daily updates on…

I’m pregnant as well and I have to say babycenter is terrible and just read the posts but do not comment. Those women are fucking awful. They are very pro-vaginal birth only (C-sections are pretty much demonized), lactavist breast feeding only, also they are all just a bunch of mean petty bitches. No support is really…

I don’t have anything really helpful to offer you other than the fact that I was in the same boat. with my first kid, I was living in a not only a new city but a new country , had zero friends or family and was unemployed. it was bad. I ended up reading WAY too much about pregnancy and got super paranoid about…

I did use that app. Every person who uses their forums is a freaking dummy. I would hate read them sometimes but then get sad because good god those dumb dumbs were gonna be parents. The What To Expect app was less useful for tracking, but the forums are generally less stupid. You just gotta find a niche group and…

Just repeating what I said at the first article on the subject (the firing of Yates), because still pertinent:

Her friends were on just outside my bathroom window a few days ago.

Bullshit. If a person can’t win the primary, then they can’t win the general election.

We told your asses to stop taking talking points from Republicans, and if you wanted her not to be the nominee, then pick someone who could actually beat her in the primaries, not some pie-in-the-sky do-nothing that reminded you of your cranky grandpa and whose most salient quality was “not a woman”. Congrats, I hope…

As a history nerd, I like to reassure myself that what we’re experiencing now is a normal part of progress. There is always a sort of kickback before society changes meaningfully. The 50's were a kickback decade. There was a kickback during the industrial revolution. The Spanish Inquisition was partly in response to…

hello. i’ve been crying all day. this is so shitty. i have some cousins in a camp in syria and they were hoping they’d be able to get here but i guess not. i’m home alone, i’ve been crying on and off (the protesters at JFK really make me cry and i love them all). i’m cooking something to remind me of home and trying…

Maybe I’m reaching for a silver lining but I’m at least happy that some of these people were spouting other “pro-life” stances like being against removing health care or the death penalty. I still think they’re wrong on abortion but at least I can appreciate the more logical consistency of their position.

Were you also a dealer to the moms of the class 10 years prior?
