BabyCentre Reviews 3

I concur with all the negative reviews. It starts off all suportive when we are going through our pregnancies, we all sent well wishes to the women struggling with loss and pregnancy symptoms but once we pushed out our babies, the Karens became activated. They bullied women struggling with post natal depression and those considering weaning slightly earlier, they were literally mocking people who were seeking advice. I remember one woman was struggling with single motherhood with a new born so bad she struggled to bathe for days at a time and the Karens mocked her. She seemed by her post like she was suffering from PND and these wenches actually mocked her struggle. I had to stop logging on because of it and the mods deleted my comments that were sticking up for the victims. The mods are awful and do nothing to help the victims, making it a toxic environment. Good concept, poorly executed and not regulated. It was so bad that I tried to complain to baby centre and they just fobbed me off, excusing the mods behaviour and explaining they were unpaid volunteers and yada yada yada. Its a shame this app is recomended by people within the NHS. One day they could possibly push a struggling mother over the edge and it will be a shame. The safest bet is to join during pregnancy and leave about a month or 2 after birth.

I love this app for knowledge & general chit chat but some of the birth groups are shocking especially September 2020 (weaning posts especially) Like everyone else has commented it really is awful for judgmental mums they don't support there members they go against you & attack there like a bad cult especially the group owners one especially thinks she's god & an expert & constantly does eye roll emoji bowhair & all her other little group owners snow27 & the rest & all the other members BubbaC1990 loves storring things up & being rude then the (keyboard warriors) join in it's pathetic they swear & curse you then have the cheek to warn you they will delete the post if it gets out of hand when there the ones fueling it after they have disrespected sworn & laughed at other members views people ask them to stop being so judgmental as it's supposed to be a support group & they just carry on regardless total cowards AVOID! being a new mum us hard enough without the cyber bullying off these trolls 😌 REPORTS need to be taken more seriously especially when it's about a group owners being so unprofessional & unsupportive not great for representing the site.

Bullies...and moderators are not clever enough to recognise who’s bullying who, even though there could be 4 people harassing 1 person and pressing ‘hugs’ on each other’s post to encourage the bullying.
If you dare have a different opinion they will go for you! Many of them really need to put that cauldron away.
Some women were openly harassing and mocking one woman for keeping her kids in the house (and garden) during lock down...moderators did nothing.
