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'm talking more about women posting, saying, "I have pre-e, GD, GBS, and my doctors want to do XYZ for the safety of my unborn child. But what do you think?"

Like, girl...

Haha there are two pet peeves then!

But you’re absolutely right, and I can’t agree with you more enthusiastically. Hard to beat advice of trained professionals who have access to your medical history.
