[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people second guess doctors so much re pregnancy? [/quote]

Maybe because of the ridiculously high infant mortality rate in the US and the horrible outcome for pregnant women?

By the time you’ve had a kid, you’ve probably experienced first hand some medical mistakes.  Doctors are not gods.  [/quote]

That's fine, go and get 2nd and 3rd opinions. But don't decide based on internets boards and what feels more convenient for you. They stress test for a reason.

Look up S S K, ET AL. v. Dr. Russell Bridges, Capital Women's Care, ET AL. , No. 2017 CA 3143 M. - The patient declined NTS, despite declined fetal activity, sadly the baby died, then she sued the Dr and won because he didn't insist on immediate NTS strongly enough.

There are risks, shit can happen, 4 hours of your precious leave time vs well being of your baby - don't make these decisions based on convenience, the protocols are there for a reason.

“Despite decreased fetal activity*

That’s a totally different story.[/quote]

No, it's exactly the same issue: not listening to a doctor. Distress is not always associated with decreased activity or any other one consistent symptom, this is why NSTs are needed. [/quote]
