Requesting Records?
This may be a stupid question...but, when you are in L&D, do they write down everything that's going on? Like, if I requested my records would there be a report with "we broke her water at this time..she had to have oxygen at this time..started pushing at this time" etc., etc.? I had a really bad and dangerous delivery and I was either not mentally present most of the day or they just didn't tell me anything because of my anxiety. And I want to remember my daughter's entry into this world but I really don't know what happened that day. Plus, I think that reading what the doctors wrote will help me cope with my traumatic experience--because we were never really given a whole lot of detail about my condition--so, for me, knowing will help me get past it. So can I request those records? Are those records even a real thing?
