[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP on the one hand, it’s terrible that you didn’t get the care you deserved.

On the other hand, it sounds like you had a fast and smooth delivery that resulted in a healthy baby. So even though you felt they left it too close, you could also say that they assessed that you were doing well and they allocated the people they had the best they could.

I think our brains and bodies experience birth as trauma almost no matter what happens so that could be a factor to. Because it’s traumatic! [b]I wish you had a better experience but try to focus on the good outcome.[/b] [/quote]

+1 please don't harp on this. Unless you wish to warn others but it sounds like a one-off because of the snow maybe. Enjoy your healthy baby. Well done walking with a baby almost dangling out. What a story to tell it! Mom is tough![/quote]

Sounds like a one off bc of the snow. Also I assume you had multiple monitors on? I have 4 kids, and believe me, if something showed up concerning, they would have been in to you quickly. It’s normal to only have one attending. The nurses do most of the work. [b]You also should have been honest that you didn’t know if you could walk. Don’t be a martyr[/b]. [/quote]

It’s not easy to assess and advocate for yourself minutes before giving birth, especially if it’s the first time and you have no idea what’s normal. That’s why some women get doulas. It sounds like the hospital was just short staffed though.[/quote]
