#332579, "At what point is it an unhealthy obsession"
Sorry to be the one to bring this topic to the top of the list, but I am just curious...at what point can you say, posting and replying to posts over and over is becoming an unhealthy obsession.
I have noticed many questions lately that can be asked and answered by common sense and it bugs the bajeezus out me to see the forum so cluttered up with nonsense. I am not naming names or being rude, in fact the opposite, I see this site as a forum to help those who need the advice and help.
But seriously- at what point do you say enough is enough- do your homework, relax, ask a few relevant to your gestation or same age group questions, wait a reasonable amount of time for replies and chill out?

An intervention is definitely necessary in some cases. What can I do to help?

You are really rude and totally uncalled for. Certainly there's a more polite way than using words like obsession and neurotic. Fine. I'll just not come online again. Sorry to inconvenience you with my questions. I'm just excited about our good news. And i had no where else to turn for information. It's not like I can ask my mom or my friends what to expect, it's completely different.

Nobody here is being rude to you. People are trying to help you and you're refusing the help. Instead, I think you're trying to disprove all of us and drive yourself into even more hysterics.

I say its an unhealthy obession when it seems like all you need to do is hit "refresh" and there's another post....
Or, the question has already been answered a million and one times (including by yourself) and yet you get an e-mail asking the very same question.
The true question is, can an intervention be successfully done without causing a flounce?

I had wondered about the excessive amount of views on those posts. Red flags were starting to go up in my mind.

I have to say that any question people want to ask should be asked. Some of us just don't have time to research. Many visit this forum for much needed advice. I know at times I have felt like my questions are stupid due to the remarks of some. I tend not to ask much because of that. It makes me upset that a new triplet mom feels like a bother on this board. JMO. Anyway, I am probl ocd about the board myself. Only bc I get a lot of answers from it.

The original poster did not say to NOT ask questions, but to do the research prior to asking some obvious, easily self-answered questions. It seems as though sometimes a person(s) wants to make this a personal blog instead of a support forum for everyone.
There is a difference between asking a question and asking a question, answering it on your own and giving anecdotes along with it, KWIM??

Part of the research is done by asking BTDT moms and looking for real life stories. Statistics can be scary. This whole thing is scary. And if you hit refresh and people are posting every few minutes, maybe they are bored, on bed rest and worried about their situation and looking to reach out to someone who can shed some light and hope on what they might face. I know I've been there and I'll bet I'll be there again before this is over.
I hope I don't start second guessing everything I post so that it doesn't look obsessive.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking other women who have already been through an extremely nervous and exciting time for advice.
There is all kinds of advice out there on the internet that really shouldn't be trusted and it might help by asking real people rather than reading a book.
I thought this forum was supposed to be for expecting moms and HOM moms to get support.
ANDIGIRL..I say ask any question you want. And if you feel this forum isn't a good place for you, I'd be happy to answer any question you have. I might not know the answer but I'll try.
I will admit that some of your posts make me think to myself, 'girl relax'. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't ask them. You are a first time mom-to-be and expecting triplets at that it's no wonder you don't know where to start. Take care of yourself, try to relax and keep the questions coming.

What a ridiculous post this is! Did you do your research before you posted this! This forum is for any questions related to having triplets and moms can ask whatever they want . I am so tired of all the rude posts and replys that happen all the time. But seriously - you chill out. People can post and reply as much as they want that is what forums are for. I have been using this site even before I had my trio and have never heard of such a post as this. It seems the site has changed and people have become more inconsiderate.
Also the TC has been a life saver for me and always has been a hugh help before and after I had my trio. Sorry to other moms about my rude post..I just can't keep quiet anymore especially when I have to read this garbage.
