[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! I wish you had a better experience but try to focus on the good outcome. [/quote]

Oh my god.  I know you are trying to be upbeat for some reason but this is gaslighting to the max.  NO. Women are not meant to be ignored while birthing. NO, It is not OK to be asked to HOLD you legs together and walk to prevent the baby from arriving [/quote]

I hate that trying to be positive about an outcome is now seen as gaslighting. That is not what gaslighting means. Gaslighting would be trying to convince the op that the hospital was caring for her, but she didn’t notice.

Being negative and appalled by every thing that doesn’t go your exact way is destroying our society.

Yesterday was a snowstorm and all schools were closed and many business were closed. My street still hasn’t been plowed as of this morning. It’s plausible that they didn’t have enough nurses and the pp is right…baby is fine. It sucks what the op had to go through but it happened. I delivered on a busy night almost 20 years ago and they had me labor in the waiting room with eager grandparents for over an hour because my room wasn’t ready.

We are humans, all of us. That includes doctors and nurses and hospital staff. Not everything is going to go your way. Let’s focus on the good (healthy baby) and jot harp on the bad. [/quote]

It didn’t happen during the snow storm. They dismissed my pain and my instincts that baby was coming fast. No apologies. No explanation. Nothing. I also don’t think it’s fair to say I’m upset because things didn’t go as planned. Getting basic care like cervix checks is part of everyone’s plan. It’s not like I wanted the lights dimmed and to be listening to eagle music PP. I wanted to know where I was in the labor stage. By the time the doctor checked me I was ready to push. A nurse could have checked me in triage. This hospital shouldn’t be relying on the only doctor on call to do all the cervix checks. When I spoke to the hospital patient advocate she lead me to believe it’s totally normal for the doctor to do all cervix checks to admit women. That has to be BS. What if doctor is in an emergency c section? Apparently the doctor had one around midnight.
