The meconium looked the wrong color too. It wasn't' tarry like meconium is. I was actually quite mad that they took you in for a C-section. Knowing full well that women in our family are strong through labor, and that the doctor (who was our aunt's, too) was Scalpel Happy. He also took mine and Abby's excitement of seeing the birth of our niece away from us. It was not fair to any party, especially you and Lorelei, but his. And his lack of caring has caused grief and heartache that cannot be fixed.... The funny thing is, being in nursing school has made me realize that I hate the field of medicine and those who carelessly enter it only for it's pay. =( I'm sorry that you had to be one of the many who are put under such awful care sissy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891191096315541987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365816307616374530.post-70930688029183735972013-01-17T16:20:54.490-08:002013-01-17T16:20:54.490-08:00It's hard to worry about how other people perc...It's hard to worry about how other people perceive your feelings, especially when putting them on your blog. I think it's important to talk about how the experience made me feel because I know that there has to be other women who feel the same, or relate in at least some way, and I don't think they should feel alone. It sucks to be made to feel like we're ungrateful for our babies because we aren't happy with the experience of their births. I also think that the more people are aware of how a woman's choice is taken away, the more chance we stand at fighting flawed medicine practice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458953342961267196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365816307616374530.post-67604027504036625812013-01-17T12:48:03.297-08:002013-01-17T12:48:03.297-08:00Thank you so much for sharing your birth story. Ho...Thank you so much for sharing your birth story. Honestly I feel robbed in my daughters birth story as well and that's why I haven't shared it in my blog. That and it makes me so mad when I do share my feelings on it people say that I should just be happy that I had a healthy beautiful baby. I am very happy to have my baby girl. Happier then ever. But that is no excuse or viable reason for the American birth industry to not do it's best. AKA not fall back on drugs and C-sections as the answer to everything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994874361156735817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365816307616374530.post-68319371099290109292013-01-10T16:28:48.751-08:002013-01-10T16:28:48.751-08:00This sounds terrible, I'm sorry it was such a ...This sounds terrible, I'm sorry it was such a hard time for you! I can't relate at all, since I haven't ever had a child, but I hope you can move forward and past all of those bad feelings. They say time heals all things! Oh and I don't know if you've seen them or not but you should check out the documentary "The Business of Being Born" and the three part series that followed it if you haven't already! They are very good, and there's one whole video pretty much dedicated to VBAC :)Amy Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817385149504526956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365816307616374530.post-76363128837431780342013-01-10T11:15:48.884-08:002013-01-10T11:15:48.884-08:00Thank you, it definitely wasn't ideal.

I think that a lot of women actually have similar experiences, and then have their feelings about it downplayed because it's so commonplace. Fortunately, in the end, our babies are absolutely worth every ounce of trouble though. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458953342961267196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365816307616374530.post-72021469139528871242013-01-10T07:14:29.233-08:002013-01-10T07:14:29.233-08:00Oh my! :( I have no words.
