THE site for the most pregnancy information. Highly recommended. I have had good experiences, personally. Information on your newborn to 9-year-old. Wonderful! So much info from Car seats to Terrible Two's. Supportive community.

Let's say you're pregnant. Perhaps you have some questions, need some support, or just want to form positive connections with other pregnant ladies. Then don't go to babycenter! The birth boards are full of crazy and downright combative ladies who spend days on end posting rude comments. And the mods do nothing about it, sometimes they even join in! I am due in November 2012 and hoped to use this site frequently but ended up giving up on it within a week. My birth club had over 11k members but only a handful commented and the comments were overwhelmingly snarky/nasty. Oh, and to top is all off, if you want to cancel your account, you have to beg and hope they actually get around to it.

The birth boards are the worst in terms of snarky & judgmental comments and mean girl attitudes! Unfortunately, the moderators let this slide and the women who report someone end up getting warnings themselves. This is not a support group.

This site is the tops when it comes to $#*!y women, snarky attitudes and cliques all over the place. Very rarely can you ask a question and get an honest answer without receiving "Omg, how stupid are you?" comments. Unless of course you're one of the popular girls who take great pleasure in belittling everyone else. Avoid this site like the plague.

This website is very helpful especially if you are having your first little one! My wife praised this site and if you think you're going through something crazy and abnormal during your pregnancy don't worry, there are alot of people going through the same situation you are!

In general, the information from this site is pretty good and the community there is pretty helpful.

The only thing I do not like and I got tricked of was the associated ads from the subscribed mailing list. I thought I could trust them however, it turned out that they do not screen their advertisers. So I ended up becoming a victim of those baited marketers, and spent over a hundred dollars and half a year to clear up the entire thing.
