    babycentre is pretty good. There is a board for each month people are due so you can chat to people going through the same thing.

    Babynbump was the best one I found.

    Most of them were really slow and I can't stand that! :)

    I used to use babyworld and i really liked it there when i was pregnant,they have lots of discussion areas for all kinds of things and you can join an antenatal club and chat with other mums due in the month you are.

    They do have an option for paid antenatal clubs if you want expert medical advice but if you don't want that and you just want the sharing experience you can opt to join free.

    You also get the option to create a pregnancy diary,a birth story and a baby diary after the birth,they choose a winning diary each month from the pregnancy ones and if you win you get a nice little prize,i won a birthing CD with my last one :)

    definitely https://www.babyandbump.com very friendly warm community and moves quite quickly

    however it may be best that you don't look at the first trimester forum if you're easily worried, unfortunately there's a lot of posts regarding miscarriage but there's a lot more on symptom swapping, who have you told, all the usual excitement stuff :)

    hope you have a happy and healthy nine months xx

    i used to use baby and bump but one of the girls on there who was a friend IRL was passing on info about me to my ex and so ive had to stop using it.

    i reported her but nothing was done about her.
