BabyCenterReviews 235

If I could give 0 stars I would. I am a first
Time mom and joined the group discussions in hopes of getting good solid advice but instead found a bunch of "grown women" starting arguments, posting rude comments, and being downright hateful. The worst part is they have Group Owners who are supposed to stop all of this but are so biased and opinionated themselves that it makes the entire site unprofessional. I am highly disappointed.

As others have said. It is such an appalling site if the moderators are friends with the people attacking people they get away with it. They claim they don't yolkerste harassment or bully's however if you have s different opinion to the masses they will tolerate bullying at risk of upsetting the community... Needs to be shut down for sure, I'd love to seek legal advice about how to make this happen and s few people affected to get compensation pay outs to teach them that it is unacceptable to operate a site like this and actively encourage bullying. Wish I too could give it no stars

I don't think I have enough words for this site! It is TERRIBLE! No better than any other social networking site! These women are so rude, critical, and insensitive and Babycenter does ABSOLUTELY nothing to control it! If you don't fit into the bubble you won't fit in! Single moms(never married), young moms, depressed moms, scared moms, sad moms, unfulfilled moms, the site is NOT for you! I thought I'd get some support and encouragement to help me through my pregnancy HA! I left feeling like crap and now I can not figure out how to delete my account! The best part of babycenter is the expert advice and articles which you have access to without being a memeber. Do NOT join the groups! Join at your own risk! The place is not full of loving, sensitive, and supportive women. Just a bunch of regular old mean, catty, hateful b**ches!

I would give this website no stars if allowed! This place is so full of rude and horrible people! Trying to conceive is very sensitive for some women, including myself. So to get responses filled with curse words was completely devastating to me. One response I got was from a woman who actually called herself a "bitter barren bi*ch"... Have they no pride? When I reported it to the "group owner" her response was, "we will tell it like it is..."
This website should be removed completely! I have seen nothing but negativity there. It seems like the members of these groups sit at home all day, waiting to bash the others in any way they can. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, REPULSIVE, DISGRACE

Stay away from this horrid place. It's replete with immature and rude people that have nothing better to do than ridicule and attack others. The community rules on the boards make zero sense (you can ridicule someone from dusk till dawn, but you can't 'call' someone 'rude' because that is a 'personal attack,' just to give you an example). Just as someone else wrote in their review - the average level of discourse there is on the level of about junior high. It was a mistake to join, instead of getting help, my stress level went up after seeing so many other posters literally attacked and ridiculed and it ended up in me being attacked and actually bullied in the end as well as I was trying to defend someone and their right to NOT be attacked and ridiculed. I asked for my account to be deleted - still waiting for it to be done. Let's hope it doesn't take much longer. I don't want to be associated with this cesspool.

I used an old email address to reactivate an old account with BabyCenter. I was immediately bombarded with SPAM, which reminded me that the same thing had happened the last time I had signed up for the BabyCenter newsletter (and why I had deactivated my account). This cannot be a coincidence as it happened twice to an email address that has been otherwise private and not used in over 4 years (not given out to anyone, not even friends or family during this time.) That is scummy.

Baby center needs to be shutdown. I just argued with so many mean nasty woman on this cite trying to let them know we as all mothers do not need to judge others in a negative manner for what they are going through in their lives and I heard it all, from my grammar, to my education, being illiterate, that I'm a new comer so I need to learn place, I'm a punk for trying to stop an arguement from occurring, I mean I heard it all in a matter of 5pgs worth of back and forth with certain group of nasty mean rude women. This is supposed to be about mothers supporting one another and some mothers, not all, are just bullies. And yes I had some negative things to say in reply to these woman, not that I wanted argue, but I had to put them in their place. SHUT THIS THING DOWN before someone gets pushed to far by these evil woman on here. Theres so much negativity and makes you become negative too.

My biggest complaint would be the so called "group owners." They are horrible people. So mean and judgmental and I do believe they are just very jealous/envious women... I also noticed that the girls who are the most mean have "TTC for #1 for 2 years" or something along those lines, as their signature. Seriously!? Not like it's any of our faults that you for some reason cannot conceive. SHEESH! I just recently found out I am pregnant with baby #2 after the FIRST month of TTC. Lol these girls just get soo mad. I do not recommend this site as these jealous girls will only tear you apart for becoming pregnant before them.

The worst advice sight I have ever experienced. Most of these women are vicious. They are so quick to be very mean, get defensive, jealous, they judge, bash, bully, and tear others down on the birth clubs. Especially October 2014. These women have nothing nice to say or anything better to do. If you ever have to post a comment or ask a question be very extremely careful what you say on them. I do not -DO NOT recommend posting anything or commenting at all -EVER- on this sight. If your a new mom or pregnant and looking for support, loving warm welcomes, and advice this is NOT the site. I've also been a victim and want to delete my account. I give it -1000 stars if I could... :(

If I could give it negative 5 stars I would. I would not tell anyone to ever go on this site. You get personal attacked then the people who are suppose to stop tell you that you are in the wrong. There's a huge favorite game played and if you are new they make sure you and the rest of the world know it. I started a forum asking of which way to spell a possible name for my daughter and suddenly I was bombard with how trashy I was and how I was a horrible mother if I named my child that and just on and on. So I took it to group owners and they told me that negative feedback was allowed and when I asked how this woman would feel if someone were to say this to her she ignored me and won't answer any messages of mine.The women on this site are nasty, immature, trash, that have nothing better to do than put others down.

My July 2014 birth club didn't begin so terrible, it just got worse and worse. Now that we have all had our babies it's like all hell broke loose. For example, I made an post about how happy I am for breastfeeding for 3 months so far, and someone actually called me "santimommy" for that! Where else can we talk about breastfeeding if not on a baby forum? I've seen the "snarky" women attack others for totally innocent posts and it makes me so angry that I just decided not to ever post again and to delete my account. But guess what? I can't! I had to send them an email to delete it and haven't heard back yet. I'm thinking about just posting something terrible to get banned.

I agree with the other posts.
These women are bullies.
After only a month or so just reading
Posts, I figured out a select group
Of "mean girls" attacking everything
From baby name choices, to grammar and
Spelling. Seriously!?
I was truly afraid to ask questions,
For fear of being attacked!

I give this site a 0 but you have to at least give it 1 star. I thought it'd be great to be able to chat with people that are due when I'm due or close to it. I realized that some, if not most of these women are cruel and have nothing better to do then make nasty comments. If you don't want to be helpful or nice, keep your comments to yourself. This site caused more stress than I needed so today I canceled it after only being on the for a month... Not worth your time!

This site is loaded with lots of useful information for all pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting issues. But this can only be found in their articles and expert advice. Other than that, the site is worthless. The blog is full of fear-mongering and over-the-top political correctness. The weekly e-mails about your baby's/child's current development is guaranteed to make you question your child's abilities as their timeline is synchronized for the most advanced child in the world. And the birth boards... don't waste your time. From what I've witnessed, you will only find support if--yes, this sounds immature, but it's true--you're popular. It's a uncontained mess of drama of women who have regressed to jr. High. Though this can be find everywhere on the internet, the "rules" to reign in bad behavior that are not enforced. Passive aggressiveness and bullying are allowed under the guise of "honesty" or "simply having a different opinion." If mods were less afraid of banning questional offenses, then the boards might have a chance to be something more than a mud-slinging drama-fest only a step classier than Jerry Springer. The whole site, whose goal is better our world through our children, instead encourages fear, unnecessary competition among mothers, and the self-righteous behavior that will bring us down even further.
