That is so sad.
My first experience was a nightmare with nasty nurses.
After that I switched hospitals after I got good word/of/mouth recommendations.
It was a longer drive, but worth it.
So births 2-6 were “natural” -they gave me shots of staydol, but no epi.
The babies were getting bigger so 7&8 required inducement and epidurals.
I learned you have to whine for the epi long before you actually need it. From the time you start whining and they make the call to order up the medicine and find the anasthesiologist, it’s an hour before they actually walk into your room.
I tell all first time moms - start whining at 4 centimeters! And be really annoying about it!
I had my 3 in different hospitals in 2 different cities. And states. The natural birth was good but the dishonesty of my doctor was awful. And with the last one, once the nurses realized what had happened, it got better. Now I’m past all that, no more babies. Grandkids are nice. All the fun and none of the work. :-)
