what should I do?
Long story.... about 2 weeks ago i ended up going into the hospital 3 times on 2 different days. I was 39+4 at the time.. i was having really bad contractions and i was 4cm. Also i kept having clear discharge and it had a weird smell to it kind of like bleach...well ended up going home those 3 times because i was in early labor. 3 days after that i go to my family health center where i usually have my appointments and they tell me they cant check if my water broke because they didnt have the tools, that if i thought my water broke to go to the hospital. But the thing is when i went to the hospital they never even bothered checking if my water was broken so that same day i go to the hospital and guess what my water had been broken, for 3 days. As a first time mom u dont really know what to expect, i went into the hospital several times and nothing was done to even try to help me get through labor naturally.. i was finally admitted to the hospital and they started me on pitocin, was in active labor for about 16 hours, i got my epidural at 8cm and they later came in to check if i was dialating quicker turns out i wasn't and they were concerned because my water had been broken for 3/4 days and the baby or i could've gotten an infection which can also be deadly. They kept checking on me to see how things were going, and when they cane in to check babies heart rate dropped to the 50's so they rushed me into emergency c section to get him out quickly, took them 45 minutes to an hour to get me extra numbed up and put me on medication which made me feel like i was dying... after all the commotion and worries my baby boy was finally born at 6:30am weighing at 8.5oz and 19inches. None of this was planned, i went in thinking I'd have a natural birth, im glad my baby is okay and if that was the only alternative then that was fine with me, but the fact that they made me wait so long is what makes me mad, they could've done other things to help me get through labor quicker but they didn't. Is there anyone who has been through something similar or the same? I feel like as professionals they should have kept me in the hospital, instead they put my life and babies life at risk. I want to do something about this but i dont know what. Im feeling depressed and anxious. I wanted to enjoy my baby and not being treated like a disabled person because of my c section..
