Why Glow then Doctor?

Victoria
I'm confused, if I had a medical thing I would speak to my medical professional first not post on Glow. I know advice from Mums is useful but can I suggest that medical advice would be better from the midwife or doctor?
Breastfeeding and opinions: great head to Glow but 'Help - and I infected/ having contractions/ got a problem in my pregnancy'? I'd sure as hell be pissed at myself if I overlooked something because the Mums say I'm fine so I didn't check with my midwife. Bottom line if you're worried enough to seek advice about a MEDICAL THING talk to the MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL FIRST please. 
Just for my peace of mind.
