PSA-If you think you're in labor....

mrsgunsta · April 2015

Saw this on the May BMC and it definitely applies here...copied directly.

I mean this with total respect ladies, if you think you are in labour, are bleeding, have pains that you're concerned about or are feeling less movement - CALL YOUR DOCTOR! You are all capable women and I know it's sometimes easier to ask a question on here than call a professional, but you've been growing this child for nearly 9 months. Better safe than sorry, plus the doctors have heard it all before and that's what they're paid for.

This is not new, it has also been said here multiple times here too. There is too many people dipping in and out to even try to control things like this. Post something in their thread or ignore it.

Of course you're right but for the record....any questions I ever ask on here that really should be going to a doctor- I promise you I am taking my question to my doctor ASAP but also using this as a secondary resource so see what answers I get as I figure things out. I haven't used this in that way yet but I definitely wouldn't ask a serious question on here without also going ahead to get a professional opinion as well. For example, I had a lot of pain in one of my glutes earlier in my pregnancy. I asked about it on here, called a nurse, and asked my OB about it at my next appointment. I didn't use this forum as a substitute for a medical opinion but it is helpful to get opinions or experiences from others.

I know that some people are asking questions on here instead of calling their doctor and I agree that's definitely not a good idea.

What?!? That's what doctors are for? Are you sure, I could have sworn they get paid to feed us made up bull shit, which is why I turn to randos on the internet who are clearly much more qualified to dish medical advice. Lol.
