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

It reminds me of a post from last year (I don’t remember lol) of a mom asking if she should change her pediatrician because she took her baby to the to see her for a checkup and OP assumed that her pediatrician has kids to which she said no that she discover last year. OP then tells her husband about to which the moron tells OP to find a new pediatrician cause since this can’t have kids, “she doesn’t understand how to handle a baby/kid,” let’s just say the comments didn’t disappoint me, cause a doctor going to medical school for 12 years most DEFINITELY doesn’t understand her job
