[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you hire a doula? Someone experienced and who can help you advocate in the hospital.[/quote] I would add this layer of protection without hesitation. And, make sure she’s with you after you are transferred and settled in. She’ll coordinate pain meds with the nurses more effectively. Talk to the hospital social worker about your concerns we’ll before delivery. If nothing else, you’ll go in more confident and with a feeling of safety. My epidural failed and I had to pull the contact wires out of the wall in order to get assistance. The nurse didn’t believe me, then wouldn’t return to the room as the pain got worse and worse, after my c-section. The doctors had no idea how I’d managed four hours of post-part I’m pain, and drugged me up quickly. I never saw that nurse again, but met a whole lot of hospital administrators. Do what you have to and don’t care what anyone else has to say. Trust yourself. Take care of yourself. [/quote]
