I don't think this whole thing started to just "bash" a fellow user. I know that nikki's advice serves a great purpose to alot of the women on this forum. I believe some women were a little put off by her advice, not because she was right or wrong, but because she's never actually experienced it. And like you said.... Hormones are raging in here and to hear someone tell you it's like "this" when you're feeling like "that" can piss a pregnant women off.
Personally, I do not have a problem with nikki, nor did I ever. She's just trying to be helpful to some women in need of a friendly ear. Like I mentioned above... I was upset because she's relating symptoms when she indeed has never experienced them. Not to be mean! But I know from experience... That textbook symptoms and pregnancies are a hell of alot different than real ones. We come here for advice from fellow mom's and mom's to be. We all have friends and family members as well who have been pregnant and have all read books, magazine, email's etc
i feel nikki, that if you want to post advice. Go for it! There are some women who don't educate themselves by reading and asking questions. But please don't try to relate to them...
