“Perfect 9 month companion!”

Jane S.

This was my absolute favorite app when I was pregnant! The fact that it has a built-in community really helps you out. And we became such a tight-knit group. So wonderful to see all the babies and to be able to ask questions or just spill your guts to someone who's going through the exact same thing. Thank you so much!

“Can't watch videos”

This website is so loaded with advertisements, you literally can not get through even 30 seconds of the videos about your developing baby without the video getting bumped out by some lame ad, then you have to begin the video again, from the beginning. Then repeat, over and over the process. I understand they have to make their money too, but won't be visiting this website again.

This app has the worst community I've ever encountered. Their Hot Topics message board is full of mean spirited hateful women who act like this is their second chance at middle school. If you are a mother and miss your bullying days from middle school, this is the place for you. Their admins and moderators do nothing to stop the bullying. In fact, they are complacent by allowing it to go on after so many people have complained. Such a bad look for the brand.

Racism is an issue. I have emailed and been ignored about why there are certain groups that are for certain races only and yet not others but I have been ignored. And one of the groups in particular they are constantly talking about "yt" it's offensive. Also there was a post about looking for black pediatricians and so out of curiosity I had one for white pediatricians and I was kicked off from being able to comment on my post was removed yet the other post remains.

I found the book what to expect when expecting as the most valuable resource being pregnant. I didn't realize they had a website and an entire community around this as well. I found the information on this site both useful and accurate when I compared it to other physician sites. They have everything from baby registry to toddler problems.

No moderation on their forums. They allow misinformation, racism, and all sorts of harmful
Information to be posted. Just be extremely weary when going to this site.

When I was pregnant with my first child I read anything and everything I could find about pregnancy and what to expect in the upcoming months. I was very nervous. I was watching this movie "What to expect when you're expecting" and when I found out it was actually based on a book I wanted to get that book, so when I googled it, instead I found this site and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It's so informative, I found everything I could ever need here. I live in Singapore so basically I used this site for the information and the community it offers. I found out a lot through the community and it saved me from unnecessarily worrying about my baby.

This website is full of supportive women who truly care about giving helpful advice. I've never experienced the cattiness that is found on other websites (BBC). I'm so happy I found this website, and I bought the books because of it. Both the website and books are so helpful!

I have brain damage they have bullied me for mispelling words and not being good at grammer. And all they seem to do is bash your choosen name like they have no life or something and just want to put others down constantly unless its a name on their favourite list. Then its ok and they want to be best friends. They also dont seem to understand the meaning of the word unisex and cant seem to grasp basic standard english as you asked a specific question and they give answers to a question that wasnt even asked and when you call them out on it. They go in a huff and say they can comment what they want. There doesnt seem to be a way of blocking people either and no admins on this site. So thats why they all get away with cyber bulling
