I’ve came on here to connect with other expecting mothers who are in a similar situation as me ,most pregnancies are not high risk and not with high beta hcg,yet no one replies to my posts..I feel like I’m doing something wrong or posting in the wrong place or either no one can relate at all.

Why doesn’t anyone reply to my threads at all?

It is odd buddy..it’s not that rare of an issue that literally no one has or had it in the past ,plus with all those threads that’s a lot of people that related to those people who posted the threads why would there suddenly be less people with that same issue

Your posts are always really randomly structured and hard to read. That puts people off responding. You can also come across as demanding and aggy.

OP are you actually 19? If so that explains the posting style, as it would be slightly unreasonable for anyone here to expect a teenager to post in full sentences with capitalisation and punctuation (some do but many don't). I really hope you have a good support network in real life for your pregnancy and that there will be good news at the next checkup. Early pregnancy is shit, and unfortunately the only thing to do in many cases is to wait it out.
Also MN is nowhere near as busy now compared to 3-4 years ago. Back then there was a lot of traffic in the Pregnancy board and every thread got replies. They lost a lot of users over the years due to site changes and questionable moderation policies so most of the side forums are now dead and only threads in AIBU (Am I being unreasonable) get replies. If you start a thread that's not in AIBU then most people won't even see it, but if you start one in AIBU then it's usually going to attract nasty and combative replies. Can't win really!

I think a lot of people want to reply but if they haven’t experienced it then such replies aren’t necessarily going to be useful to you. I tend to reply if I have experience or knowledge around what they are posting about. I have just read your previous posts, when is your 20 week scan? Hopefully once that’s out the way you’ll get the reassurance that all is ok. Pregnancy is an extremely anxious time even when all tests are normal so it’s understandable you feel like this, I’m super anxious in pregnancy and assume everything will go wrong. For a little reassurance, ive 3 children, low risk for one, high risk for 2 of them and now I’m pregnant again with our 4th and this time they’ve said I’m even more high risk….I had a bumpy few pregnancies but all my children were all born perfectly healthy and I recovered ok following each one, best advice I can give is to listen to your consultant/ obstetrician as they have the most knowledge in this, ask all the questions you are worried about and take it a day at a time. Hope you are ok x
