Though we’re a generation that loves to just look up medical advice online and self-diagnose, Dr. Johnson says you need to talk to your doctor about what’s realistic and what’s safe. “Having that conversation early enough is key. What you don’t want is to go online and come up with a birth plan you got off the Internet and just show up at the hospital with it. That can cause friction because sometimes the things you see on the Internet aren’t even applicable in real life in certain instances,” she says. “That’s a part of the disconnect between the medical community and the public.”
