My nursing Story for Adopt a Mom

[solielarana]

I have four nursing stories I could tell.  In the stories a couple had latch issues, a couple had blocked ducts, one had reflux, a NICU stay, a couple had jaundice issues.  And one common theme was lack of support from the professionals.  One thing always present though, was my determination to succeed.  That said, I'll tell my most recent story,

Wow. I can't believe that a modern doctor would say something like that.

You're awesome. :)

jeesh! i can't believe that dr. said that. thanks for sharing your story with us. my 2 youngest were home births, so i'm always curious to read other people's birth experiences.

My hospital birth experience is pretty typically I'm afraid to admit. I've always wanted a home birth but with 3 of my child I had to be induced. One was 2 weeks over and I of course was overwhelmed by the statistics my OB gave me. Then with number 2 he was IUGR and had to be induced. Number 3 also was a week over and again, I got worried because there was calcification and low fluid (had low fluid with them all actually).

With James I finally started labor on my own but my water had been broken for so long and I had a fever that I agreed to an augmentation. I did have doulas for birth 3 and 4 which helped but my births were very intervention ladden. Jessie (number 3) birth was the easy as I was totally prepared. James really suprised me, lol. As I was expecting another fairly easy delivery.
