Behavior
Treat everyone with respect. It is possible to get your point across and disagree without being rude. This means other bumpers, non-bumpers, and other websites.
Do not call out others publicly. If you feel they are not who they say they are, or you have any other issue with them, message the moderators.
Do not make posts trying to stir up trouble. If you know a post will be controversial, do not make it. Take it to another subreddit.

Spam

Spam
We consider any link post spam if it is submitted by someone who is not active in our community. This is left up to moderator discretion, but a good rule of thumb is to keep link posts to less than 1 every 10 helpful comments you make on other posts.
This also applies to comments which are obviously advertising, by the same specifications above.

Soliciting/Asking for Donations

Poll/Survey/AMA
Do not make AMA-type posts or posts which seek to poll the community for the purposes of market research or academic research without prior permission from the Mods. Permission will only be granted in compelling circumstances in which the research is novel and fresh.

No asking if pregnant or posting pregnancy tests
Do not ask if you or your girlfriend are pregnant. We are not a pregnancy test. In the US, if you cannot afford a test, check your local Health Department to see if they offer them for free or low cost.
Related: this is not the place to post pictures of your pregnancy tests.

Bump/Ultrasound/Announcement/Baby/Pet/Pregnancy Test Pic
Bump, ultrasound, and announcement pics (including positive pregnancy tests) go in the daily bump thread only. Mods have discretion for what counts here.
Bump pics are photos that contain your pregnant belly: with a cat, with a husband, with a snack, in a tub, taken in a mirror, taken by a professional, etc.
Baby shower pics may contain your belly if it's not the main album focus.

Asking for Medical Advice
Do not ask for medical advice/opinions. BabyBumps users and moderators are not medical professionals. Responses do not replace contacting your medical provider. You should always call your provider with any concerns.

Offering Medical Advice
If you are not a doctor you are in no position to offer medical advice. If you are a doctor, you'd know better than to offer medical advice here.
Giving poor medial advice is often more dangerous than giving no advice at all.
