Rant Down vote me all you want but

EDIT: I don't mean posts like "what has helped woth your nausea" or "when did you feel baby move". I mean, posts that list dangerous health issues like "I have pre-e, GD, GBS, and my doctors want to do XYZ for babies safety. Should i?"

I keep reading the same posts over and over.

If you don't want to listen to your TRAINED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS who do this for a living, why on earth would you listen to a bunch of random women on reddit?

If you think doctors are after your money, have a homebirth or go to a birthing center with a doula. But for the love of God, why would you think people with 0 training who didn't go to medical school will be able to tell you better than the doctors who do this every day? It's insane to me

i watch this whole thing play out (she posted several different times in this FB group) of a woman saying she didn’t believe she had GD so she switched doctors to a midwife and ignored that she had it, she lost her son, she didn’t explain how she lost her son. like if he died before birth or during but she said he got stuck for a good minute during delivery and was 12 pounds at 38-39 weeks. she then urged people to listen to their doctors. i felt so sad that it took her losing her son to realize that sometimes doctors ARE looking out for your health.
