| - Where do I start at describing how horrible this place is? Lets start at the beginning! I came here when I was 9ish weeks pregnant. First appointment went pretty well. I was fairly happy with them. As things progressed it became even more and MORE unprofessional. At my 20 week ultrasound to find gender, they canceled on me that morning. I had to beg and plead them to get me in somewhere because we had a party planned that weekend to find out what the sex was. When I had my next appointment no one went over the ultrasound with me like they were supposed to. I had to wait until my next appointment to ask and no one had even looked at my file! What if something was wrong?! Keep in mind you never see one person constantly. It's a rotation of who you get to see. And once it comes time to give birth, it's whoever is on call that day. One of the midwives there I REALLY do not like, and she was on call with another midwife at my time of birth (of course). I established no connection with anyone there, you know, the point of having a midwife.
I also started experiencing extreme pelvis pain, which I looked up SPD and it matched my symptoms to a T and I was ignored completely saying it's just me being "pregnant." I am STILL in pain 4 1/2 months later. I'll get to that part after my birth story.
Then come to take my GD test. They knew I was worried about it because my mom had it. I had to call them THREE times to finally have someone call me back, and guess what? I FAILED the test. Again, no one bothered to look at my results. Luckily I passed the three hour test, but seriously? I was on top of calling them to make sure I passed/failed on that as well. At about 32 weeks I started getting really itchy and was worried about Cholestasis. No one was taking me seriously and just kept prescribing meds. I went to the ER to get tested because no one would listen! It took them forever to call me on those results as well, regardless of how many times I called them to see. I had a few moments where I didn't feel my daughter move as much and was just starting to break down from the issues I was having and someone let me get an ultrasound to check on my baby girl at 37 weeks. The entire time I was in there the woman was insulting me saying she didn't understand why I was getting the ultrasound. I'm sorry, isn't that your JOB? Why are you here if you don't want to do this? I had told them over and over I had horrible contractions and no one believed me, kept saying I'm a "first time mom."
Yeah well, a few days later my water broke. I called my midwife and waited 2 hours for a call back after telling them MY WATER BROKE. No one called me so I said "screw this" and went to the hospital. Sure enough, it broke! They instantly wanted to start drugging me up with pitocin. I asked to have a few hours to try and dilate myself, in which I used a birthing ball and the tub they had. I didn't progress so I gave into the pressure of pitocin. They kept upping the dose and I felt every contraction. I went 24 hours without any medication, I begged for an epidural and the midwife on call refused, saying since I wasn't passed a 1 I didn't get one. I couldn't sleep. I was screaming and crying through every contraction. Back labor through most of it. Shift change in the morning and that midwife allowed the epidural, which, unfortunately for me, did next to nothing.
I constantly had people coming in to check me, and every single one asked if I had surgery on my cervix. One woman couldn't even check and had to bring someone else in to check for her! I got to 41 hours of laboring and started running a fever while my daughters heart beat started to drop. I started running a fever from being in labor so long and after 41 hours I was stuck at a THREE. They opted for an emergency c-section since I started getting sick and that's all she wrote. I didn't get to hold my baby right after. I didn't get to hold her for 12 hours. I wasn't the first to feed her. Some random stranger did while she was in the NICU. All of it was taken from me.
Come to now, 4 1/2 months later, I still have severe hip/pelvic pain and have problems walking. They ordered a CT scan which my insurance denied and asked me to get an xray first. It's been 2 weeks and 4 phone calls and they will not return my call. I just need an xray ordered so I can see what's wrong with me and they WILL NOT call me back.
Stay away from this place. Please. If you want intimate moments and to be taken seriously this is NOT the place to go. Because of them I might have permanent damage to my hips, and if that's the case you best prepare for a law suit for that + making me miss one of the most important moments of being introduced into motherhood.
