*disclaimer: not trying to offend anyone, just annoyed!* Is it bugging anyone else that ppl are typing like they have a 1st grade education? Ughhh it's making my skin crawl! Come on, we are going to be mother's! If you can't write, how do you expect to teach your child to?? Maybe it's my hormones, but I'm pretty sure it's just a pet peeve of mine. Especially on these phones, they auto-correct! Ok I'm done!!

    Haha yeah it does sometimes annoy me!! But I guess even the best and oldest of us write abbreviations like lol and g2g!! I don't know many more of them though Haha

    Most of the people who type like children ARE children. I just joined this little forum yesterday and I already see so many little girls lingering about pretending to be pregnant. You'll find it in every pregnancy forum.

    Who do you think is faking?? I can never pick them. We had a terrible liar who got caught yesterday. It upset alot of people.

    What is the point of pretending to be pregnant on a pregnancy forum???
  • AND83AND83
    You can usually pick them out on the stories they conjur up. They like a lot of attention and seek a lot of advice, but they're very generic in their problems. Always be cautious of people claiming to be pregnant with multiples. LOL

    Yeah that's who tricked us yesterday. FOr the last week was miscarrying and got a lot of advice and then found out she had triplets and lost 2. Had the third baby out by c section at 20weeks, found out it was really 30weeks, then sent one of the ladys a photo of it. We have all been supporting her untill we realised the photo was off Google!! I'm starting to get a bit upset because I've been trying to get pregnant and I've been having a lot of symptoms but tonight im not feeling pregnant at all. I have a 4year old so been through it before! Im blood testing on Monday and if It's negative, ill be deleting this app because it is really for pregnant women and women who need support. Hopefully I get good news Monday!!

    Good grief. That comment is laced with hypocrisy. If you don't like the comments in this thread, how about taking your own advice and ignoring them?
  • Momma2joeMomma2joe
    @mommy_to_be I don't think you have to delete the app just because you may not be pregnant yet. I've seen plenty of women on here that have been trying and are here for support, hope and prayers.... I do wish you the best of luck and am truly sorry you have not found the support and advice you need. Don't give up hope. We tried for over a year to have another baby and we are 27 along now.....

    You took the words out of my mouth! The spelling and grammar people use is atrocious! It's one of my biggest pet peeves especially when its done on purpose. And yea, the raging hormones don't help lol.

    I agree its frustrating to read, but I don't believe it has to do with education. They are just conveying their personal style through words. I doubt they would ever turn in a term paper written like that. I have friends in fb that are managers and type this way. It was kinda harsh to say that. But like I said, I do agree its very difficult to get through reading and understand what exactly is being said.
  • lilpeapod913lilpeapod913
    All I said was I was annoyed with them writing like they only had a 1st grade reading level, didn't say they did! And I didn't pinpoint certain words or ways of typing.. it's just annoying to me. I'm not judging anyone in particular and if you got offended then you told on yourself.. it's the same as someone saying something about anything else that I've done but not directing it at me. It's an opinion.. we all have them. What do all the discussions about fakers have anything to do w pregnancy? They don't, they are just VENTING as I was doing. Get over it, I didn't call anyone uneducated, I just stats my annoyance with sounding uneducated!

    I agree it drives me nuts.
  • mummy_to_bemummy_to_be
    I still can't pick the fakers Lol. I guess I have to much trust in people and maybe a little bit of ignorance! @momma2joe yeah I would have kept it but on top of the fact that I may or may not be pregnant, my partner has decided if I'm not, he doesn't want to try again. I think he got a little freaked out and if probably will want to try again, but It's sad reading everyone's amazing stories and not having one of my own.. it is a place for pregnant people, and if I'm not even trying, ill feel a little silly on here!!!
