| - We come to the worse day of my life (also known as the day before my son was born) After putting my foot down and asking for real solutions I got scheduled with a fetal and maternal specialists so that maybe they could help some how (spoiler alert they didn't! Also don't go there, their name is Maternal Fetal Medicine of Az). I had a noon appointment with them, and clearly since I'm was a referral they knew I was there because of this debilitating back pain that I have, and yet I waited almost 30 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. The doctor that saw me there was a piece of work. She basically accused me of being a drama queen and that I gave Dr. Nieves no choice but to send me to see her because I wouldn't stop complaining. My husband and I were both shocked at how she spoke to us. She said there is nothing she can do, only a neurologist could clear me for early delivery. So a complete waste of my time. At this point I'm 38 weeks pregnant, utterly miserable, in the worse pain I've ever felt and I've had 2 csections at this point. So I broke down, my stress and anxiety took over and I could not control myself any longer. I was hysterical, frustrated, angry, sad, mad... you name it. So they sent me to the hospital (oh and didn't even bother to see if that one had the doctor that could actually determine early delivery). So here we are a 45 minute drive later sat banner Ironwood. No neurologist, so nothing they can do. At this point it's 8 pm (I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast). The goodman and partridge doctor there was even more awful than the specialist. My husband was upset and worried and this woman cussed him out because he told her she needed to do something. She told me that I should just call my old doctor and see if they would deliver me since they were so great. I mean just awful. Who says something like that to someone in pain who also happens to be caring a child!?!
They sent me to Chandler Regional (great hospital and amazing staff) to see the neurologist that they supposedly called. They said I needed to report to ER. But when we got there they had no idea what we were talking about. The amazing staff at chandler regional jumped into action because they could clearly see that things were just not right. At this point all the stress, anxiety, lack of food (who knows) was making me have contractions. Strong ones about 4 minutes apart. After having multiple csections the risk of my uterus rupturing due to contractions was higher. So naturally I was worried. They take me back to the maternity triage (the nurses were amazing) they call the goodman partridge doc on call for that hospital who clearly didn't want to be bothered. Because here I am having contractions, true and true contractions and she wanted to wait and see what happens. I can't give birth naturally and labor can for from 0 to 100 fairly quickly. That's why as a scheduled csection they don't want you going into any sort of labor. So after hours of contractions at 4 minutes apart the charge nurse (who is clearly not being listened to by this doctor) comes to ask me what I want to do (I think she needed me to ask for the doctor to come see me to make her get off her ass and come to the hospital), so I told her I wanted the doctor to come here look at me in the face and tell to why I needed to continue having contractions risking serious complications to me and my baby. Of course at that point the amazing charge nurse had what she needed to make the doctor come. While this is happening the sweet nurse I had told me how awful she felt for me and that she sees this kind of the thing with the doctors from this practice all the time. Like they just don't care about their patients. So finally at 5 am the next day I had my very healthy and sweet baby boy. My hospital stay was great because chandler regional is a wonderful hospital and the nurses work for the hospital not this awful practice
