I know this is only kind-of related, but I don't know who/where else to ask!
I am pregnant with my first child and I feel like I am likely getting biased information on the internet. Is there anywhere I can find TRUE pregnancy information that I can count on? I just feel like I am questioning everything I see on the internet because I feel like there are so many leftist ulterior motives out there infiltrating modern pregnancy advice. Maybe there is a database of unbiased resources somewhere that indexes by topic and has some pregnancy topics in there?
Edit: Adding to clarify what I mean.
So basically, I have noticed weird pregnancy "facts" that have made me suspicious. It seems that a lot of what I find on google is more concerned with the mother than the baby. Here are some examples:
- anti- breastfeeding advice (i.e. I keep stumbling upon so many articles discussing the dangers of breastfeeding when I am looking for info on breastfeeding.
- my sister is 9 days ahead of me and her doctor told her to wean herself off of her antidepressants over the course of the first trimester instead of stopping now. She said she found this advice on the internet as well.
- Sources claiming c-sections are more safe, even if it is not necessary. Funny how that happens to be what gets more money into the corrupt medical-care industry (of course I support it when necessary, but they have been doing c-sections wayyyy more than needed for awhile now, and it's only increasing.
- I've seen some anti-meat during pregnancy advice on the internet.
- Disproportionally against eating the placenta
I don't know if I am just coincidentally finding bad advice, or if google is increasingly being influenced by biased information coming from a more feminist perspective. My husband and I both noticed this and thought it seemed suspicious, as if the advice is purposed focused on well-being of the mother sometimes possibly at the cost of the baby
