I know not exactly on topic for the board, but I trust most pedes on here more than any doctors or medical people right now. So with that being said, my wife and I are about to being another pure blood into the world and i was wonder if any of the health experts on here can tell me if prenatals are a good idea and if so a good brand to look for. I literally have nearly zero trust for most companies pushing anyhting now days, because they all seemed to be owned by terrible companies.
Sorry again for off topic but happy to share the great news with you frens, and any help is greatly appreciated!!!
If you're that unhappy with the doctors in your area, look for a Naturopath or Homeopath, preferably one with a medical degree. You always need a balance of proper nutrients, and doctors, love them or hate them, are trained to look for common signs of deficiencies.
A doctor who practices (at least partially) alternative medicine is more likely to give you better advice when it comes to vitamins, because they know that small imbalances can have very large effects (more than a typical doctor who strictly practices so-called western medicine). They also understand that nothing in the body operates with complete independence, and treat the body as a whole organism, unlike specialized medicine which is filled with oversights and foolishness.
I will look into it for sure, thank you very much for your reply and the info. I appreciate more than you all will ever know!
I second this! Have been seeing a Naturopathic doctor for my daughter since around June. First appointment was 2 hours and the most extensive health history I've ever been through and she asked about EVERYTHING! She responds to my emails rather quickly, she makes suggestions and answers questions without billing me for it. She knows my daughter as well as I do by now and I am NEVER looking back! Thankfully her primary care physician is awesome and requests the blood tests so our insurance will pay for it. Definitely worth your time to check this out. And also, Congratulations!
Awesome thank you for the input! I will be sure to look into it and thank you!
Ditto the congratulations!
