Calling All Mummies & Mummies To Be.....

I have been a member of NCT since Feb 2013 when I was in my 1st trimester and I am loosing the will to live now on this site, it has changed so much and some lovely members are being driven away which is a real shame as they have much to offer the Mums to be and new Mums.

Please please please can we stop answering these silly questions and concentrate on our members who ask sensible, normal questions and genuinely need advice, I think its fairly obvious the difference between them.

That's all I have to say, if it doesn't change then I will simply permanently log off too :-(

I reported the 'dry sex' question as trolling, because I genuinely think that's what it was! And a member who was getting a bit bitchy about things last week.... The NCT admins must think I'm a pain in the backside!! I'd like to know if anyone else is reporting these, or if it's just me...

I agree about ignoring those sorts of posts though, it's just fuelling the fire, so to speak.

I've had several questions and worries over the last week or so, and I've been put off from posting, because I genuinely don't know if anybody 'real' is left, or if it'll be ignored for a "My bf looked at me, am I pregnant?" post!

I've just been searching through its depressing. Either these people are genuinely thick or are just messing around. I seen the dry sex question! Honestly really did someone actually write this ha ha. I've reported a few this morning and. I'll send a email over to healthunlocked for more scanning daily. :-)

I sent the admins an email last week (I've copied it into a post, it'll be under recent posts somewhere!). Unfortunately heard nothing back X

Lol I know! Surely if you suspect pregnancy errr you pee on a stick! Not broadcast every bit of your sex life and bodily fluids to everyone! Xx

I completely agree, I am pretty new to this site and have got some great direct advice and learnt a lot from others posts . However, I find it very annoying seeing all these "am I pregnant" posts and it puts me off even logging on

I completely agree with you,

I've been a member on this website for just over a year now but I've only joined NCT, a few months ago & it definitely seems as if it's become more of a teenage sexual health issues & concerns forum more than anything else.

It's definitely best to just ignore them I think! - hopefully they'll do one eventually.

Haaaha :)

I'm a newbie. This site seems great and has put my mind at rest with my early pregnancy spotting. But I'm seeing what you mean about some posts x

I agree I think someone is personally messing about. .. The fact they have time to be so sad to put silly posts must mean they are kids... ignore bad behaviour reward good behaviour ;)

This is my first log on in days and I used to b on daily when I could. I feel same, its got over run with silly questions a and diagnostics. They say on the news that they are addressing sex ed earlier n earlier in schools but they obviously are not doing a good enough job if girls feel they have to come here and ask are they pregnant. Its ridiculous. Its a real shame to lose such valued members from what used to be my lifeline x

Hi all, just to say that as a relative newcomer to this site I really hope that we don't lose to many of the productive, knowledgeable and open people. It's a great site for new mums and mums to be! My take on the 'silly' questions is that it's just young kids who get a bit of a thrill from thinking about pregnancy and babies because they've had enough sex ed to know "where babies come from" but not enough to fake a decent question! Sometimes I think that some of the apparently 'silly' questions also come from people whose first language is not English. I try to answer some questions if I think that's the case but ignore the rest!

Not what you're looking for?
