I'm over hospitals...
I'm so glad this will most likely be our final biological child because I'm over hospital births. The hospital for my 1st kiddo wasn't too bad besides the constant checking in and not letting a tired mom get any rest. For my 2nd child, I went to a different hospital and told them from the very beginning that my first came fast so please hurry on the epidural. Of course they didn't listen nor care, and no matter how many times I asked/practically yelled/begged for the epidural, by the time they finally did it, it was too late and my kiddo came out before the epidural fully kicked in. On top of that, the doctors took so freaking long to discharge us and I again got basically zero sleep because of the constant barging in of the nurses and doctors for all kinds of "necessary" checks (some are legitimate but others are ridiculous). And now my 3rd happened at yet another hospital, and this time they straight up refused to give me an epidural or any sort of pain medication even though I told them from the get go I did not want a natural birth and warned them my kiddos come fast. So, I was forced to give a 100% natural birth (which was the most painful thing ever) and the doctor and 1 nurse had the nerve to constantly tell me to please stop yelling as I'm busy trying to push my baby out and somehow not punch someone or pass out from the pain. And this time, they keep barging into my room to draw my blood (they have drawn it 5 different times already) and I keep asking why are they are drawing so much blood and the answer I get is "we are just doing what the doctor tells us." I told them I want to refuse and they said they won't discharge me from the hospital if I refuse which I'm pretty sure is a lie. Ugh...I'm just happy my 3rd and final child is healthy and here and I just pray we are discharged sooner rather than later. Had I know my 3rd was going to be born without any sort of pain medication, I would have just gone to a birthing center and avoided the hospital.
