My son is about to turn 18 and I’m feeling nostalgic. I used to be very active on a pregnancy board back in 2004, but can’t remember the name and it’s annoying me😀.

Can anyone jog my memory of forums gone by? My one had a troll scandal when it was discovered that someone having twins (of course!) was faking the pregnancy, quite unheard of in those days!

I was on bad mothers club and there was a troll who said she was struggling to breastfeed- one of the members phoned her and talked her through latching on…..

I was on Babycentre for my pregnancies in 2008 and 2012. Still have an active online friend group from my eldest.

Ivillage, bounty and mumsnet were the ones I went on mostly.

I was on hitched where you graduated from the marriage forum to the baby one. Wonder whatever happened to it?

Bounty and Mumsnet are the only ones I knew of

There was one on Hunnybeez where a poster had twins and one of both died etc etc. All completely fake

I was on UK parents and BabyCentre...happy memories

FriteFuaite · 09/08/2022 19:37

UKparents was great, wasn't it! I remember a lot of forums from back then, Babyworld, BMC, iVillage, Damzels, Hunnybeez...

Yajebbend · 09/08/2022 20:41

I loved ivillage I was in the July 2005 one and September 2008 birth clubs.

first experience of a forum and it was a great help to me when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing with dc

would love to read my posts back!

VeggieSausage · 09/08/2022 20:47

I was on Hitched Babytalk! I think eventually a load of people left and made their own forum - I left not long after.

mothertrucking · 09/08/2022 20:49

I was on Ivilllage July 2005! I remember posting my BFP!! Then obsessively comparing scan details, PG symptoms, pram comparisons, I was obsessed.

itsquietuptown · 09/08/2022 22:51

I used to use BabyandBump over 10 years ago
Was always so busy and everyone had a profile pic and those lil ‘tickets’ on their signature with pregnancy weeks/their kids ages
its now completely dead and riddled with ads
Someone faked twins on there as well 😂 In fact any troll/faker always had twins never just the one baby

I was on iVillage, loved the TTC/fertility boards and then was on the March 2006 one, still in touch with some of the mums I met through that.
