3rd Trimester

Why are you posting when you should be calling your doctor?

I don't mean to be rude or inconsiderate of anyone, but I'm somewhat new to this whole messaging board thing and I've noticed that there are A LOT of women who post medical questions or concerns asking for help or advice.  Honestly, please don't take offense, but if you think you may be having contractions, or bleeding, or leaking or whatever the case may be, why would you decide to put it up on the message board to see what everyone has to say about it rather than call your doctor?   Sure there are lots of women here giving great advice and it's comforting but when it comes to your health or you're in pain and are not sure what is causing it... call..your..doctor.

    Well, thank God.  I'll be sending you a picture of my mucus plug ASAP, as well as discuss my "after internal" bleeding. I also need to know if I'm having contractions right now and I need to know if my baby will be drugged out if I get an epidural.  Can you handle that? TYIA!

    1,Bring on the MP pic, very little grosses me out. 

    2. If your post internal bleeding is bright red and is more than exactly 4 spots, call the doctor.

    3. You're not having contractions, quit whining.

    4. Your baby will feel the effects of the epi...but it won't matter because all the coke you've been snorting the whole time has prepped baby for the effects.

    See, medical expert.

    Well when you put it that way... I won't even need the epi because I'll be having my baby in my kitchen floor.  Why leave the comfort of my own home?  I'll be so doped up I won't even know what's happening.  Thank goodness for coke and it's healing powers. Also for low-birth-weight babies.  It should make things easy. Thanks for the advice.
