 No.  Here's the deal.  I belong to a local online mom's group.  I really like it.  Not just for parenting issues but they also will talk about doctors they like or dislike, people who do things like house painting, mowing, photography, and so on.  It's a valuable resource of info.  So this one chick came on and posted her sonogram.  She said her husband was a twin and in her sonogram her BFF said she thought she saw two babies but her doctor only saw one.  She wanted everyone to tell her whether her doctor was right or wrong.  I posted that if she needed a second opinion that maybe she should get one from a DOCTOR and not from a message board.  She got really angry with me and called me a mean girl.  I told her I was an RN and that she should really consult a doctor.  She said she had but she didn't believe him.  (I think the crux of the matter was she was secretly WANTING twins and wanting validation.)  She said it was a board and if I wanted to be rude I could keep my mouth shut.  I said I wasn't being rude.  If you need opinions on potty training, getting your baby to sleep, colic, or teething you come here.  If you have health concerns you go to the doctor.  Then a bunch of others jumped on me and said I was a mean girl too.  Then the OP said I made her cry so even more people said I was a mean girl.  Well, one of the group rules is no drama or you will be deleted.  I notified the admin.  Someone got deleted.  Not me.

Wow!  She is going to be so surprised when only one baby shows up.

 Yeah, she INSISTED there were two in there.  I told her that if her doctor said there was only one in there then she should probably listen to him.  Then she went on and on about how doctors make mistakes all the time and blah blah blah.  I said, Not all the time.  New technology makes it so much easier for them to know for sure nowadays.  Sure, once in awhile it happens, but it's not common like it used to be that it would be a surprise to have twins.  Then all the haters started in on how their aunt's cousin's hairdresser's b/f's SIL had triplets and the doctor didn't know.  Sigh.

Well, she broke several rules. There can't be drama. And you can't ask for or give medical advice for obvious reasons. There were a couple other rules she broke. It's the first time on that board that I've ever seen anyone be hateful. They just don't tolerate it. It's actually a cool page. I've learned a lot about our communities resources from it.
