[quote=Anonymous]I delivered with Dehal not by choice, I was going to give birth at a birth center but water broke and labor didn't start. Another male doctor in their practice was on when I was admitted - he was very nice, personable, got me settled and started with pitocin.

Dehal was on when the pitocin took effect. She is very matter of fact, not the best bedside manner, somewhat forceful. I have a tilted uterus so even pap smears hurt. I started pitocin without an epidural (won't do that again), was in a great deal of pain from those contractions, and he basically had the nurses hold me down so she could do a cervical check (which felt like she was ripping me apart).

I think got the epidural, and didn't see her again until DD was crowning. She didn't ask DH if he wanted to cut the cord (at that point I was up for 24+ hours and spent 2 hours pushing DD out - my birth plan was shredded at that point), and looking back I don't think she really explained much before she did it. We had trouble monitoring DD's heart rate during contractions, so she put an internal monitor in place (literally just did it, didn't tell me what was happening). Our fantastic nurse explained everything after the fact, and was honestly the only reason I didn't end up with a c-section.

End of the story is DD and I were perfectly fine, I had some internal tearing and got some stitches, no issues though. So all in all it was fine, I wasn't attached to my midwives or OB, but if you want someone warm and fuzzy don't go with Dehal. Maybe it would've been different if I would've been with her the entire time, but I somewhat doubt it.

Hodges then saw me before discharge and he was great. [/quote]
