I thought that people who interviewed their healthcare professionals were a little bit crazy, but I now know that they are GENIUSES! I hope that any and all children you have are joyful, beware of ANY provider though... I had a midwife for number two, and she was STILL the devil.

There is so much crapola associated with birth and the business behind it and (unfortunately) stories like yours fit the bill. But by sharing, you're making a difference. I hadn't even thought about birth plans and doctors taking advantage of new mothers until I started reading up on it.

I wish every woman could have a joyous pregnancy and birth experience. I can only say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and this seems like a good example.rapunzel_johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091995086177389909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301098672201400964.post-31074489721886563812011-05-22T19:16:27.389-04:002011-05-22T19:16:27.389-04:00I beleive I had the same Dr M you are talking abou...I beleive I had the same Dr M you are talking about. He is the one the broke my water (that was all he did for me as I had another doctor). He walked in theroom said spread your legs, broke my water said "fluid is clear" and walked out.

Not this sort of mentally exhausting event where you feel like you're an inconvenience to everyone.
