Horrible planned csection (long post) venting 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
So to start from the beginning I moved recently a few months ago to a new city, I was 18 weeks when I moved in.
This is my second child and first one was an emergency csection after going through a horrible labor. This second time i chose to have an scheduled csection because i am terrified to go through the same thing all over again and ive heard the risk of trying vaginal after a csection. So i rather just get it out the way with a csection.
So when I moved i chose a health group with midwives and Doctors 🥼to be my caregivers. My midwife was so lovely and I thought i made the best decision of my life choosing this place. Until 28 week I finally meet my csection Dr. who told me he doesn’t think they are going cut over my first cut because it was too low.. so probably they would do a second cut. This was so upsetting and it made no sense to me because, if i already have 1 cut why can’t they just cut over it again? Especially if there not a strong reason. So like most Doctors he talked really fast and left me with a bunch of questions but I thought i would get to see him again before my csection date.
Fast forward to today’s visit (33 weeks) another midwife saw me (not my regular one) she was sooooo rude! Gosh i left so upset. She literally got to the room talking super fast and basically shaming me for choosing a csection instead of vaginal. I couldn’t even hear my baby’s heart sound because she kept talking while checking her heart disregarding if i wanted to pay attention to it or not. Told her I wanted a Csection several times and i just think is easier and she would keep asking me why and giving me reasons why I should try vaginal. I mean i get where she was coming from but you don’t have to be so pushy and rude to get your point across (smh).
I asked her when would I be able to see the Dr. again and she tells me another new Dr. is the one doing my csection . I told her I would like to see that Dr. whoever he was before my csection date.
She said no! That I would see him the day of. Im like what do you mean? don’t I get to ask more questions or make a birth plan or at least know how he works? How will i be closed up etc?
im coming from a whole other city so I literally have lots of questions. She kept giving me the run around. I asked her if i needed to fill out a paper work the day of or before? She said no, she kept talking super fast and that was it!
I am so upset because I am not sure another Dr. is going to accept me at this point, plus I liked the hospital where I am going to have the Csection at.
I am not sure what to do, i feel so impotent and upset. I feel like they are not giving me enough information and are just brushing me off. Honestly i do not trust them anymore and don’t feel comfortable at all. Not because they are gonna do anything... i just feel like they are disregarding my feelings, my questions and how important is for me to have piece of mind regarding the day of my csection. I like having all the information and i just feel lost. At 33 weeks I haven’t even met this new dr who is going to cut me open (probably with a second scar) and apparently i dont get to.. untill the day of.
I am sorry for the long post but i just had to ventilate😔
