BabyCentre.co.uk

An informative, supportive, fun site where you can meet other Mums and Mums-to-be due at the same time as yourself. Fantastic for advice and support during pregnancy and beyond.

I've been using the site for over 4years now and have met many of the Mums I chat to in real life and made some wonderful friends.

Like most forums, you do come across the occasional crackpot who offends people and then tries to start a revolution against the site, but they are in the minority and usually crawl back under their stone. These people provide great entertainment though and give us all something to laugh about during our hormone fuelled pregnancy moments.

Loved this site at first, then I realised that posts, comments and accounts are deleted for the silliest things. The admins troll the site for any perception of a rule break and then your treated like public enemy number one. They will also read private messages. Not worth the hassle

It is full of power crazed administrators. You get lured in with the promise of help, support and friendship, but it's full of cliques and if you comment on anything that they don't agree with, they hunt in packs and mock you, pick on you, bully you, and when you try to stick up for yourself, you get your account deleted. It's just bizarre behaviour for a bunch of mothers who are supposed to be there to help.

Tried password reset numerous times, never received any email in any of my folders, tried every trouble shooting tips they have on the website, nothing works. Emailed them of the issue, but they say that "they won't respond to every email". Brovo, really don't know how I can log back in ever. Their admin is design to stress out mothers to be, not to be helpful.

I was repulsed. I'm in the first trimester about to be in second tomorrow and I don't think I can breast feed after reading this article. The woman wanted to remain anonymous (wonder why lol) and it's just disgusting. I refuse to purchase anything from this site and it doesn't surprise me that they have terrible reviews from people who have purchased items through their site.

I have been a member of the babycenter community since June 2006 when i found out i was pregnant with my son and i have had no problems until one of my freinds was kicked off babycenter for sticking up for another friend,

After she was kicked off she was then slagged off by everyone including the person she stuck up for. I stuck up for my freind as i would anyone. As to talk about someone in their absence just isn't right especially with some of the stuff they were saying about her.

To cut a long story short i was then chucked off the After Hours board for this reason and asked by one of the admins to leave the situation which i did do.

12 hours later my account was completely deleted with no warning nothing.
11 days post account closure i am still waiting for any kind of reply to my email asking why my account was closed.

Use this site with caution, most of the admins on there are as bent as 9 pins. And none of them seem to have any respect for anyone but their 'favourites'

This website has provided with me friendship, advice, support and love. I would have gone mad without it! Thank you!
