BabyCenterReviews 235

I thought this was a real community where you could express your concerns and embrace pregnancy. However after sharing some intimate details about my life, I was personally verbally abused, victimized and attacked. I will never recommend this website to anyone ever again. They need to clean up their boards and users that have nothing better to do than to pry and judge innocent people. Shame on this community! If I could give 0 stars I would.

The babycenter app was very hard to get rid of. I had a miscarriage in my 36th week and opted out of the app and also unsubscribed the emails. Still I was getting some or the other pregnancy updated. Honestly speaking that was breaking me emotionally especially during such a time when it was hard to gather myself. This is just a emotionless company. They just want subscribers and want to keep advertising themselves every chance they get. At the cost of somebody's emotions. Hate this app

Ladies if baby center refuses to listen go to their sister company Johnson&Johnson and voice your concerns. Its sick that females who produce offspring can be so hateful towards others whom they do not even know! This has to stop, I didn't join the "Bump.com" but I did check them out and the interaction between these women was nothing like BABYCENTER.com The members are all very supportive and instead of reading a bunch of HENS opinions which never has a thing to do with a person original post these ladies offered support, personal stories, and if they did give opinions or offers advice it was all in a kind hearted manner. But this baby center can become dangerous and go beyond a cyber type crime especially when a persons religion preference is slandered. Like I am not wishing bad upon anyone I am just stating the obvious of how many hate crimes have initiated from a facebook post and the person goes out to seek and find the poster / commenter taking justice into their own hands. I looked up a member post who mentioned being harrassed from babycenter not only has this poor woman been harrassed but the comments just will not stop! Her post was from 2017 there are members still going in on her in 2018 like just stop it already, leave her alone, and go pick on someone else. I will be the first to admit that yes I did say mean things back and that was after what 17 slanderous comments on MY POST and I am still attacked by the group owner for DEFENDING MYSELF. Baby Center MEANS GIRLS can all go sit on maxi pads full of thumb-tacks

I have seen an amazing amount of "discussions" on this website in the community forums that were the farthest thing from supportive or kind that anyone could imagine. Attacks on people creating posts from 'groups' of women ( I say this because I've literally seen posts where 5 or more women are all attacking the same person), they visit the OP profile and mock them for things they've shared on the community boards in the past, mocking someone for their personal appearance from their photos. I've seen all of these things occur on Babycenter's community forums. And it's alarming to me that this community allows that type of conduct to continue. Members will actually mock you for referring to this community as a place for support.

If you're looking for a forum for community support from other mothers or moms to be, you are better off asking a random toll booth worker than going to this mother's forum site. It's full of know-it-all women that have had kids and feel like they're the authority on all things mother... with kind and helpful souls peppered in between. It's mostly a sounding board for bored petty stay at home mothers that have nothing else better to do (though they could be somewhere offline seeing about their child) and would rather troll boards looking for new moms to harass. It's an awful, unregulated by Baby Center Community board leaders and is a chicken coop at best. Save your time. Talk to yourself in the mirror or ask Siri, at least she might be polite.

I feel like BBC really dropped the ball on the community pages, my advice is to stay away from the communities! Its such a shame because BBC posts some great articles and information. But when it comes to the communities watch out! The women on there are hateful and full of spite! These women obviously haven't outgrown the need for drama and bullying from high school. God forbid their bullying would provoke someone into hurting themselves! I feel that even the most mentally stable person could be sent over the edge with the way these women bully and belittle. The group owners are no help, they are the ones instigating and provoking the drama/bullying 99% of the time. The break the guidelines themselves yet they will remove and delete other people for the same things they themselves are doing. Very disappointed!

I had a profile before. You can look it up. XaviersMommyH. I had posted a status asking for advice about my son's medication. I accidentally had worded it the wrong way and then everyone started throwing hate my way. I have short term memory and other health issues but that shouldn't stop me from creating my own memories. They then went on with saying how I'm not safe around my own child and that I need supervision around my baby. They called me all these horrible names and said that I was overdosing my son when I was not. I know exactly when to give his meds to him and the right ammount! Little things I occasionally forget because of my short term memory. But I ALWAYS remember the important things. Like what's best for my son, and because of everything that they had said and done I feel horrible about myself. Like I deserve nothing good in life.

I followed advice online to ask the group owner to help see if they could delete a post, since you don't have the authority to do so if you are the original poster. I asked for a few reasons: because I received info that I wanted to help me get my issue resolved, there was a person that was starting to bash things about me personally that had nothing to do with the issue at hand, and because it was also posted in the wrong community. I get a no, and this is because they don't see any abuse happening. So, I speak my peace. "so much for helping out the people." What does group owner do? Bash and insult me as well about the issue I was having and also me personally.

First of all, you cant delete your own post even if youre being bullied. You cant even delete your account without asking, and it takes days. Even then, it doesnt delete what youve posted.

I asked for advice on All in the Family and was bullied, stalked, and harassed. They twisted my story, they said I was lying, I was lazy, uneducated. I was shamed for having financial troubles due to medical bills. Was told it was our fault, and that my husband and I dug ourselves a hole. For needing surgery, which isnt anyones fault.
They constantly berated me, the comments wouldnt stop. I was crying my eyes out. So I edited my post (because you cant delete your post) to take out my story and just left a dot. Then someone copy and pasted my original post in the comments! They started stalking me and screen shotting my previous posts and comments and posting them! I was even privately messaged.
No one helped me or stood up for me, the mods didnt do anything until I asked for my post to be taken down multiple times. I contacted BC about the bullying and havent heard anything.

These women are insane and coldhearted. I cant believe they could treat anyone so horribly. Im honestly traumitized.

I was upset over an argument I had with my Husband and have since reconciled. In my hurt I slammed a door and yelled at my husband outside in our backyard. I went to marriage and relationships for advice on how to get over the argument and I admitted that my behavior in slamming the door and accidentally breaking the blind on the window over it was wrong. (It didn't actually break it just fell off the door come to find out). Mind you thus post was long but it only took 2 minutes for a reply from some user called ADIFFERENTPLAN. Not only did she basically scold me for slamming the door and damaging (my) property, she talked down to me about my "behavior ". Once I agreed with her my behavior was inappropriate she disappeared, offering no advice whatsoever as to how to move past the argument. That's okay though, apparently these women don't slam doors when upset, in fact I was told I was abusive for trying to intimidate my husband. I was then asked if I was afraid of him (no) and I was accused of ignoring red flags, I was accused of being unhinged, asked if I was taking drugs, and basically compared to a 13 year old. This thread was ultimately closed as no one came forward as how i was to proceed. I hate that everyone acted like they never slammed a door before. These women are all operating on the same mindset of "men are bad" and if you think your husband isn't then you're ignoring red flags, and youre being abused. They literally TWIST everything that you say so they can continue to berate you. Tbis is laughable! This was only my 2nd post to this site since joining in Feb 2018... I WISH I would have read the reviews before joining this sad group of lonely women. They all follow the leader and come down on any OP in such a way that if you disagree with them you're too afraid to post anything. This site needs to die and burn in the bowels of hell that these pathetic excuses for parents crawled out of... i can see now where all the future little SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAYS come from!

I was on BabyCenter for approximately two months, and I can not express how much of a huge waste of time my time spent was. Most of the time I lurked, but then I decided to finally speak up. I ended up getting ignored during my introductory posts, then when I was asking a question I was cyber-bullied for not knowing the answer already. These women love to spew verbal vomit and verbal abuse onto others, and then claim you are the one acting like a snowflake and that you should get over it because "this is the internet". You spin it back on them, and they have their groupies attacking you and they all go into meltdown mode. There are some women who post 50-100 posts a day, and seek out other women they can bully. I can not stress enough to stay off this site, for the sake of your baby and your own sanity. No support system is better than this poor excuse of a support system. Not to mention, this site is NOT family oriented at all. These women have a very pro-single Mom/leave your husband ideology, and they do not EVER talk about actually doing anything with their kids. I thought the point of this type of site was to focus on pregnancy, parenting, and family, but it seems like a haven for bored housewives to get out their frustration on the world. It's as if they know how to lay on their back and get pregnant, but not a clue about parenting. AVOID!
