[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was that horrible case in Texas a few years ago where a woman contracted a staph infection and the hospital kept dismissing the husband's calls about her fever until it was almost too late. She lived but ended up with all four limbs amputated. [/quote] I got a fever and flu like symptoms during labor, and the first nurse I told totally dismissed me. Luckily she was getting off shift and the next nurse took my concerns seriously. Guess what? I had Chorioamnionitis and needed an emergency c section for the health of both me and the baby. It's sad but it seems like you need both luck and a staunch advocate in your birth partner to get any kind of decent labor and deliver/post partum care. [/quote]
