Would you find this annoying?

My parents have 4 kids together and I just had a baby 8 months ago, pregnant again. Lately, my dad acts like (and even admits that he thinks) because they had 4 that he knows everything there is to know about pregnancy and raising kids.

Last night, we were talking about how I’m worried because I’m considered high risk because my first was a month early and towards the end, was measuring too small for my doctor’s comfort. He asked what the exact weight was again and I told him (4 lbs, 10 oz). He said “no, he’s wrong” and looked at my baby and goes “sometimes doctors are wrong, but I know what I’m talking about”. I was kind of frustrated because I trust my OB, who went to school for years and has been in practice for over 10 years, and even simple google searches reflect what all he’s told me.

THEN he carries on to tell me how he thinks I’ll go early again. I tried to gently remind him that we wanted to avoid this as much as possible because we wanted baby to stay in and put weight on. He said “no, baby will come out when they are healthy enough. Your mom had a preemie and the next ones were always 2 weeks before that one, so you’ll be like her”. And kept encouraging the idea of another, except even earlier, premie. Even saying I didn’t really “need” my high risk doctor. I just stopped talking to him at this point because I feel like he’s so insistent on giving info he clearly knows nothing about. Not to mention I feel like it’s insensitive to promote another premature birth when the first one had to go straight to NICU for trouble breathing & digesting food and spent 2 weeks there. And he KNOWS how devastating it was for us.
