BabyCenterReviews 235

Horrible experience.
I tried to take part in the community and it was awful. In a world where we worry about kids being cyber bullied we should really check out the 30 something year olds who spend too much time on the internet! Baby center does absolutely nothing to moderate any part of this community. The way that the women talk to each other is horrifying. Join if you like being abused, mocked, and treated like your opinions are invalid.

I am amazed at how mean spirited people are when they have the internet to hide behind... I made my first and last post today, and then removed myself from the group because of the responses I got. Very few posters want to help you, the rest just want to tear you down. What did make me feel better was realizing how much time these "women" have to spend on the stupid birth board in order to make the number of comments that they make. I'm pretty sure they all have borderline personality disorder and I'm just glad my life is better than theirs. :) oh and I agree that the group owners responsible for "monitoring" the boards are some of the worst bullies there! Peace out August 2014...

I have been using BabyCenter since I got pregnant. I just read the information on the front page at first, but then I noticed they have a community. I joined because I wanted to talk to other mothers who are like me. I met the most amazing ladies there.
I saw many negative reviews for the site, but I have to say I do not agree. I feel that honesty is what makes the site so great. If you want to be in an environment full of strong, opinionated women, BabyCenter is the site for you. If you want to go to a place where everyone will agree with you all the time, go somewhere else.

Received an email from babycenter.com with a link for some free baby items. I followed all the steps outlined and did provided some personal contact information as it was required. Turned out to be a complete scam - not only did I not receive the free items I was told I would, my phone has not stopped being blown up by scam artists looking for more. I expected babycenter.com to be a legitimate company, but try and call them - it's all recordings, no humans, and if not perpetrators of outright fraud themselves, then definitely in partnership with fraudulent enterprises, nor do they have the decency or professionalism to follow up on communication. Could not advise more strongly to simply stay away from this site. Extremely disappointed.

Well I will let you know, of you are at this (review page)internet destination, it's likely to complain. If you have a legitimate concern, love being reduced to garbage and treated like s***, love having every explanation of facts twisted or overlooked just so you look bad or at fault, love pretentious b****** running their mean little mouths, if you love having you sum of life experience also reduced to garbage, being instantly discredited no matter how right you are, if you are just wild about these vultures picking at your expense then babycenter community is for you. Don't dare mention atheism bc it will be an ironic instant crucifixion. At least all the nasty stuff they say is permanant so you can definitely look back and realize... that they preach against gaslighting but as a whole they do it as much as they preach against it. F****** sh****b******!

The Information on the site is very very good. They also have affiliate offers that help you save a little money when you need to buy baby things. If you do not want your email inbox spammed - I suggest making one just for this site.

The groups/forums/discussion section is horrible. You have to sift through pages and pages of garbage like " I hate my husband" " I hate how fat I am" " I am going to vent here because I am the only person pregnant on the planet and my husband won't look at birthing videos with me at 20 weeks" - and the responses are awful, snarky, rude, which stem from frustrated moms that just want to have useful information.

The moderators do NOTHING to keep these useless posts off the boards, yet they create meaningless group after meaningless group for all the meaningless banter, which still permeates the main information groups.

Lots of swearing, x-rated language and hate posts.

I would avoid the discussion area. It is not needed.

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.
