[quote=Anonymous]This is unusual and could indicate neglect right? The baby was delivered within minutes of getting transferred to the delivery room. Transfer meaning I walked a few rooms down myself while holding my legs together as baby was coming. I was asked if I thought I could walk and I said I can try. I kept indicating I needed to push, was in pain, having regular contractions but staff was in and out and doctor took forever to confirm how dilated I was. The doctor didn’t confirm that until a few minutes of my babys birth. I’m okay now but thinking I should share my experience so other moms know and can make a decision about delivering at this hospital. They didn’t have enough competent staff to get me admitted to the hospital and monitor me. When I spoke to a patient advocate of course she said it’s normal they only had one doctor on call. I asked her if it’s “normal” to spend 1.5 hours in triage and be ignored most of the time and she said she can investigate it.
