for a pregnancy forum/community. The few I've been to are really judgmental or the posters are totally not my demographic. I'm currently expecting my second and am looking for some advice in regards to L&D.

The WIR kids thread is a pregnancy forum.
What kind of advice are you looking for in particular?
We've managed to cover co-sleeping, breastfeeding, epidurals, circumcision and all that stuff without bashing one another (you of course occassionally get an odd poster or two that trolls but they are chased off pretty fast) and in a mature fashion.
So if you are looking for non-judgemental we're pretty much your place!
You don't have to read the entire thread either. I joined back on the old MSN when the thread was several thousand pages long.
Just introduce yourself and ask your question.

I'll 2nd the the thread here is very non-judgmental with a wide variety of posters/parenting styles, etc.

I might try posting there. Honestly, I posted there maybe a year ago and just have a really hard keeping track since it's just one giant thread. There's some sub-stories I'm interested in, but I hate having to read everything - maybe I'm lazy, but I don't want to go through 3 pages of co-sleeping discussion when I'm not interested in the topic.

You don't have to keep up with the current discussion, the thread hops all over the place as posters pop in and out.
Introduce yourself and post your question, you should get an answer fairly quickly from somebody.

Also, my demographic is 20-30's and married. There's a lot of forums I've found where half the posters are 16 and worried about their baby daddy leaving. Not interested in that kind of drama.

As far as I know we don't have 16 year olds on the thread, I could be wrong though. Most of us are married and in our 20's to 40's.

Stand back. I have a budget, and I know how to use it.

I third- or fifth or whatever- the kids/ parenting thread here on WIR. I can not have children, but am often caring for my nieces. I take my questions there when I need help and get non-judgmental help.

There's a private group on babycenter.com where some of the MSN moms went. The rest are moved to a fb group. I'm not on fb but I can try and find out some info for you, if you'd like. But you're more than welcome here. ;D
ivillage.com used to have a baby forum, if I recall correctly.

The kid thread on WIR is pretty mellow. The other thing you need to remember is that the written word often comes off harder than the writer intended, so it pays to have a thick skin and take things with a grain of salt.

Telephus, I think we're due around the same time. I'm a FTM-to-be and have really enjoyed the kid thread. Not all of it relates to me, but when I post a question or concern people are very responsive.
