Dr Tara Chettiar says even with her expertise, she was not immune to unsolicited advice during her two pregnancies
"I was in the hospital doing my patient rounds about six years ago, I was heavily pregnant and I was wearing my scrubs and white coat," she said."I was astounded that anyone would say that - let alone to an expert in the field.I had someone say that to me. While I was in the hospital working. Wearing my white coat. That said Obstetrics & Gynecology."I had to pause and say that a small amount of caffeine had been shown to be safe outside of the first trimester.
The advice is largely well intentioned, says Dr Chettiar, because it's about an issue everyone feels they can connect with. "Because in their minds, this is something that connects us all. But in reality, those questions and 'advice' make women feel separate, different, and as though something is wrong with them."
