[quote=Anonymous]This is definitely true but I also think patients who are younger or LOOK younger are not listened to or not given the proper care. This is why it’s so important to talk to your OB before hand about giving birth (and speak to a pediatrician) and create a birthing plan to give to the hospital so there is no room for error as far as your demands go. I’ve heard too many horror stories (especially of black woman dying on the operating table during a c section) and this is why as an AA woman, my OB and every other OB in this practice are AA woman- I’m on the MD side. If it’s the nurses given a hard time, I would definitely request to speak with a supervisor and she/he will no longer be able to care for me or my baby- you will not stress me out or cause harm to me (or my baby) during or after birth.
