nobody's listening!

Why is it thst when you are pregnant everyone automatically stops trusting yoyr judgment and pushes their advice down your throat?

It's getting to the point where i feel like everyone has taken claim over my baby! They dont trust my thought process behind, and dont even start ro listen to it.

Babys heart rate was accelerated yes, and i do have a heart issue myself. I put my trust in a doctor for a reason and calling fifty other doctors will get me nowhere but a big bill when the insurance sees how unnecessary it was. The doctor will monitor his heart as always and take the necessary steps to be certain that this little boy comes out healthy.

Soeey horrible rant but just so tired of my opinions being brushed off and kinda hurt that no one seems to think im smart enough to make these decisions.

I know how you feel. I'm 38 weeks now and people are just barely starting to listen. They keep saying oh your baby is gonna be here any day now, even though I haven't even started to dilate or efface let alone have regular contractions. I know me and I know my son isn't ready to come yet haha.

I know exactly how you feel. My doc wanted to induce early just as a precaution and I refused. Everyone flipped out saying I should trust my doc and I was wrong for having my own opinion. I did super amounts of research but still no one thought I was capable of making any kind of decisions.
Its very frustrating.
