I don't understand why we're still using different words in place of VAGINA. Or putting "TMI" before…

👏👏👏👏👏

Agreed

I just saw the word "cooter" for the first time in my life 0_o ... I think they are referring to their vagina .. It is not clear ! Lol

I put tmi on a posts today that had a lot of details and stuff, obviously a pregnancy related question.. because there was this one girl (who I blocked because it made me mad) that like dissed on girls for putting their business out there and stuff like that. So when I do it its my way of saying if you don't wanna read what I'm about to ask, or say just keep scrolling cause I'm gonna write it anyway! Haha. I dunno. I agree with you though, especially something like this.. Who the hell cares. I know I'm a first time mom & I have no clue what's going on with my body half the time so if I need to post something with detail about female parts or whatever it may be just to get some clarity or whatever because I'm concerned, so be it.

I totally agree but to me the tmi is for those who do get easily offended or grossed out, it's a warning that they may not want to continue reading my post...it's just out of respect for others in my case.....and you are right about using the correct terminology. Anyone who gets offending by someone using the correct scientific term for a body part is just being childish.

O m g. Yes the TMI shxt is a damn pet peeve of mine while on this app. We're all grown adults!

@maybaby2016, I can understand having TMI on a really gross post or something but something like "TMI I think my colostrum came in" is totally unnecessary in my opinion. I've seen that A TON and I'm just sitting there like...why....?!?! THAT'S NORMAL???!!!! It's just overused I think. @chrissytee I mean I can understand it on something that maybe IS incredibly too much info but I feel like a lot of it is people getting offended over stuff that really doesn't matter at all. It makes people feel like they need to be embarrassed to ask a question and that's not okay for me! Maybe it's because I'm pretty much shameless lol...I'll ask anything and I won't be embarrassed about it bc it's something I need to know, you know?

To be fair, some women are really uncomfortable with their own bodies. My friend grew up in a house where some words aren't said. She had the hardest time even getting on birth control because she couldn't communicate the pain she was in every cycle. Some people are just uncomfortable with real terms. The tmi saves some of those people who are uncomfortable. Its not okay to bash people for sharing about personal issues, but some people still don't wanna read it.

"This might be TMI but I'm bleeding." Seriously? All of us are going into labor at some point. Blood is the least TMI for all of us.

@gingyrex, I completely get where you're coming from. I grew up in one of those households. The first time I went to an OB, I was SO embarrassed when she was asking me questions. I eventually grew out of it, though, and I realized there's nothing to be ashamed of. :) I feel like here is a place where we should be able to feel comfortable talking about our bodies because we are women and we all have the same parts you know? Nobody needs to be ashamed of anything and they should feel comfortable asking questions and asking for advice.

@rebekkahfowler, right?? Some girl asked a question earlier today about having pains and I told her it was probably just cervical cramps, and she asked me if I could "please not use that word"....like...what???

.... Cervical? Is she serious? Some people just shouldn't be pregnant if they are that insecure with their bodies and anatomy. What is she going to do when a nurse is staring down her vagina and feeling up her cervix derive how dilated she is? "Your cervix is dilated! Should be any time now." "Could you NOT say that word? It's inappropriate." BUT YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!

@katarama, I think we all just need the supportive. Or at least block those we can't handle, ha. I am a grade A grammar nazi who can't stand the posters who capitalize every word or use so much slang its not even words anymore. But the main thing is to not attack I guess. We all come here for a happy environment and its our job to keep it nice. In our own ways.

@gingyrex, HAHAHAHAHAH I thought I was the only person who HATED the all caps posts... I always block them because it physically hurts my brain....

@littlemissrainesmommy, I didn't start using the block function until I started seeing posts like that. The literal rage at it was alarming!

@gingyrex, yes. like I understand using slang before the cap locks... but then again I absolutely hate slang too....

@littlemissrainesmommy, I don't mind some slang but when it consists mostly of lone letters and awful spelling I quit. "gurl u r stronk an on fleek" or something. I can't. Just can't.
