Mumsnet mafia ??!!!

Am a really new poster to Mumsnet having just found out I am pregnant for the first time EDD June 1st, have been surfing the site and making a few posts but have been very surprised by the amount of vitriol in some of the posts on certain subjects, and am amazed about people outing other people and everyone seems to know everyone elses business - more than you might expect on a forum? How does that work?? Is there like a bunch of people who all live in the same road or something? Just wondering as on most forums I post on there are lots of people sharing views but it rarely gets that personal inn terms of people getting to know other people off line. Made me wonder if there is a Mumsnet mafia in place!! Makes me alightly concerned about posting my thoughts and feelings about the things that are happening to me and about how my privacy will be respected.

"I could hurt someone like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

..Cos I'm due on with PM TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"...

And I say 'knocked up' all the time!! I even barged in on an antenatal thread the other day (due in Nov!) and used it and nobody got narky.. for goodness sake.. knocked up is amusing, and if you think it aint, tough tit, go take an evening primrose...

'In the family way'

'Your condition' - of feeling shite

'Expecting' - to feel like a lorry has mowed you down

Yes, I felt very pregnant both times. From the get go.

Pregnant is such a heavy term. Exactly how I felt, too.

But Ghoul! Nana was in the bed, but you couldn't see her.

GhoulsToo · 10/10/2006 10:17

I didn't say it must be a man, I said that it was my first thought - not the same thing.

For the record, I don't like 'up the duff' either!
