Think about this.......

I can not stress this enough for any pregnant woman- Do your research for anything you are tested for (before you get tested) & make an informed decision. Many doctors do "routine" test simply because that's what everybody else does. They don't know anything about the illness, the rate of accurate/inaccurate results, or "treatments" that are proven safe & effective.

Since many women don't have much personal experience (most only have 1-2 children) when is comes to pregnancy they tend to trust whatever their doctor says. Now here's the thing- Good old doc. may have the experience of watching women be pregnant, on & off for nine months, But in my book that in now way can make him/her more of an expert than someone who has physically been pregnant & given birth. So, why is it than that so many women trust their male doctor to know so much about the natural workings of the female body, pregnancy & birth? Why would you not question the theories of these doctors?

I have lots to say on the subject & will add to this post later- I have run out of time.
