to think that "I'm a regular who's pregnant" posts are just attention seaking?

9 times out of 10 we never find out who they are.

and they all know that when they post in chat "OMG I'm pregnant but can't possibly tell you who I am yet" that hundreds of posts will follow and their threads will stay in active convos for days.

LOL - I thought Cod had started this one as she's in the know.

i think threads picking holes in other threads is attention seeking

well i expect they feel a bit embarrassed if hundreds of posts follow. i would be rather ashamed to reveal my insignificant self (shoudl i be so lucky).

Agree with 'getorfmoiland'

If people didnt post about them selves/ things going on with their lives/ kids/ hubbies ect then the boards would be empty!

I like em!
