I adore avocados which is why I was so sad when they were my first major food aversion this time around. Still haven't been able to fully enjoy them again and it's terrible! But my food UO is that I HATE sushi/seafood/anythingthatusedtoliveinwater. I have tried to like it, just can't do it. Blech.

My husband doesn't like any of that either. It totally sucks because I LOVE all of it but never get to eat it. It works well during crawfish season though because he deals with DD while I dig into spices galore.
Sorry to have post and run (was sleeping after night shift) but I'm glad to finally see an UO generate alternative opinions.
I realize my post was vague, but I think there is 100% importance in being educated (that mom that wrote that long ass post about all the things most people outside of the medical field have no idea about us obviously very well informed). But no, not all docs want to be home in time for dinner. In fact in my hospital the dr who delievered stayed after call was over to see me through. She wasn't even my OB, just who was on call that night.
The birth plans i took issue with were the ones where people say "absolutely no augmentation of labor either with meds or ROM, etc" or "patchouli oil and Motzart with a room temp of 21 celcius". If you don't trust your care provider to have your best interests at heart get a new dr, deliever at a different hospital, hire a doula, etc. birth is NOT a medical event in most situations, however medical emergencies can and do occur. Being rigid in your birth plan can and does lead to disappointment and birth trauma.

I go back and forth on the birth plan thing. I remember as a first time mom I would have felt totally dumb doing a birth plan. I mean, I had no idea what to expect going in or how much it would hurt. I think in that case going into it with some super detailed birth plan would have just led to disappointment in things not going according to plan.
This time around I feel much more equipped to know what I should have in my birth plan because I have a better idea on how things will go and how unpredictable they can be. I know the pain so I know what I can and cannot handle and I also just know certain things that I don't want simply from experience.
I just think people who think reading a couple blog posts about labor puts them in a good position to plan the whole thing can be a bit niave. I think some first time mom's can do this successfully but others watch "the business of being born" and suddenly think every doctor's main goal is to get them to have a c section
