[quote=Anonymous]This TikTok gives ME the ick and tremendous anxiety about giving birth (I’m due in March). This is my third baby but my first time delivering in a standard-issue, American hospital (first was born in a birthing center, where I received extraordinarily patient and compassionate care; second was born in a European hospital which was very hands off). I am anxious about being pushed into using an epidural- have been drug free without incident for both previous births - or about stating my boundaries at all. Apparently this makes me a PITA? Birth is truly a sacred act and should be treated as such. I work in healthcare in a non-clinical role and see how depersonalized everything is. I understand this is done to protect the psyches of clinical staff, but boy does it result in suboptimal outcomes. With a mini-baby boom going on coupled with the nursing shortage, I know they’re having a hard time. There’s just no quick or easy solution to compassion fatigue.[/quote]
