A pregnancy forum is an online community that joins like-minded soon-to-be parents for an open and honest discussion about what one can expect throughout a pregnancy. These forums, which allow users to speak anonymously no matter where in the world they live, are a great way to talk about any fears that you may have about your upcoming delivery, or to share any good news with a broader audience. Most forums are free to join, and signing up requires that users share little of their personal information. The anonymous nature of these chat groups tends to make the discussion much more lively than one would expect in real life.
