| - DONT GO HERE TO HAVE YOUR BABY!
This is one money hungry hospital .
I came here to have my third baby with a total labor of two hours. My nurse midwife happened to be on call that night.
My nurse checked me out, and left to do other duties. I was hooked up to the monitor with the belt around my waist with terrible contractions. Almost every contraction made the belt fall off with the painful strong contractions.
I knew its bad to lay on the back when you're in labor, but couldn't think straight with so much pain and was to weak to sit up or try any other position. Then this unsympathetic nurse assistant kept on pressing my belly and readjusting the belt almost with every contraction to make sure she can hear the babies heartbeat well. I thought I would pass out with pain.
I asked the nurse assistant to check how far along (open) I am, and she said she didn't know how to do it, but she will call someone to check. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, no one came to check me. I agreed to have an epidural hoping it will help my pain. The epidural doctor came quickly.
The nurse assistant had to help me sit up to get ready for the epidural. When she sat me up, I felt the baby move down (obviously stuck because of trying to birth laying on my back).
I said I feel like I need to push, so the epidural doctor asks the nurse "are you sure she needs an epidural"?, and the nurse says "yes, hurry up give it to her". So the epidural doctor puts in the shot.
The baby starts coming out: doctors runs in my room. My nurse midwife doctors catches my baby. I was able to move around and switch beds for another 10 minutes before by epidural started to take effect.
My nurse midwife says out loud "she didn't need an epidural", and I was thinking 'where were you at when I needed you'???
Its been two years now, and I still have back pain once in a while (not as often as before). I know one thing for sure- Im having my next baby with a regular OBGYN in a DIFFERENT HOSPITAL. Thanks for sure.
