UCers ~ something I've been curious about for awhile. What do you feel is the role of the midwife (if any) in a UC forum?
I vary in my thinking - I am usually glad of the input of any woman in the forum but sometimes I feel frustrated when opinions are given from a professional role. If the midwife has birthed UC herself and is speaking from a personal opinion or personal experience, I would cherish that, but I can tell that oftentimes it is from a medical/professional slant. And as a UCer, I avoid that unless something specific calls me to it.
How does everyone else feel?
