[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I've seen my Dad through multiple cancer surgeries and I think that was much worse for him.  He had the added complication of his kids seeing him not himself and covered in bandages.  So it is part of life.

I realize no one can tell you it's fine and no one cares, as the reality is that it is in your head.  Find the [b]small things you can control.[/b]  Like for me, wearing my own silly socks during medical procedures helps me feel better. I even bought my own grippy socks.  My Dad had his own music in the hospital and was able to being his own robe from home.  It's just a small things you can control.[/quote]

Birth is a physiologic process. It doesn't need to be treated the way that it so often is in hospitals.

Women should not have to be confined to hospital beds in order to have the babies electronically monitored during an uncomplicated birth. They should be able to move freely and walk around . But the hospitals are understaffed (gotta save up money for the fat administrator paychecks). So they use electronic monitoring to allow the nurses monitor all the laboring moms centrally, instead of having someone check on each person intermittently.
