[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm 38 and it took until these last few years to finally find physicians I felt were evidence-based, thorough, and didn't treat me like a twit (when typically they were the twit who I couldn't trust to properly diagnose a condition or refer me to a specialist who could provide better care). Somehow we got lucky on the first go with my DD's pediatrician, who is great.

And I'm an UMC white woman who waited until my 30s to have children. I can't imagine what it's like for a single twenty-something mom from a less privileged background, with fewer choices. They've probably experienced all manner of mistreatment by medical professionals. Just going through the maternity care assembly line is a huge reality check in itself for most women. I can't imagine going through that as a young adult.

So OP, it might be that your care (or that of your collective profession) isn't as great as you think it is and these young women have picked up on that.[/quote]

Maternity care assembly line is exactly how it feels. I will use this term again!

The worst is after you give birth it’s like you’re discarded and no doctor will look at you. I never even had a post birth checkup just a phone call and we mostly discussed the baby. Not my traumatic delivery. Baby had a shoulder dystocia with a broken clavicle. No one cared for me post partial other than dh. [/quote]
