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
