Disastrous hospital birth
כותרת:
It all starts nicely with a tour a few weeks ago at Shaare Zede. The midwives say- you can have whatever you want. If you dont want an IV or the heparin lock, just refuse it. "It's your body" they said.

When I arrived to give birth to my 9th child, after 8 normal vaginal births, last motzei shabbat about 10:30pm, the midwife named Michal, said I was 7 cm dilated. I was having my usual contractions every 10 minutes, not too painful.
The first issue was the heparin lock. I said I didnt want it. The midwife, Michal started screaming at me, "What, are you a baby!! What are you a baby!! You are such a baby!"
I told her, if I were in a car accident, you, nurses can start an IV right away, so why not start it if I need it??
No, the midwife said. I need it. and its nothing anyway. She kept calling me a baby.
So, she tried to put it in. She made a hugh hematoma on my right arm. I have a 10 cm diameter black and blue mark. So she had to try again on my left hand. Finally it was in.

Then Michal suggested/insisted on breaking the water. I was not in favor of this. My husband thought it might hurry things up. Finally I said OK against my better judgement.
After she broke the water, she said that i was no longer 7 cm, but rather 6 cm, which happens. The baby's heart beat was fine.
But what they didnt mention in the tour, or when she suggested breaking the water, is that after your water is broken, they do not allow you off the bed- not even to pee.
So now i am stuck on this little bed, peeing in a bedpan for hours and hours.

The midwife kept checking my dilation all the time, and every time one of the two doctors that were on, would pass my door, they also would stick their hand in my vagina and check me.

Sure enough, after an hour of not dilating, they decided that i needed pitocin to augment the labor.
I argued with the doctor that all my labors are slow, just like this. Slow but sure.
He was very rude- screaming at me, he said that I have delivered 8 children- but he has delivered 5000 babies. I couldnt even stop them. They just set up pitocin in one of those IV things that beep all the time. They set it up, and a minute after they leave the room- it starts sounding the alarm that it is not working. So we buzz the buzzer a few times, but no one comes. So finally my husband goes in the hall looking for someone to stop this IV alarm from buzzing and get it to run correctly.
Finally someone comes in to fix it and no sooner than they have left the room, then it happens again, and again, the same thing- it takes a long time to get someone to fix the IV.

Finally the pitocin starts working and the contractions are unbearable. Much worse than I have ever felt in my life.
A while of those and I asked for something for the pain. They said: epidural, tishtush or laughing gas. They never explained the pros or cons of any of them. I know epidurals are dangerous, I didnt know what the gas was, so I took tish tush (pethidine). They gave me so much, my husband says I looked totally pale and sickly.
I do not know exactly how many times the two doctors checked me, but i would estimate more than 25 times.
I didn't dilate they said and towards morning, the doctors decided I needed a cesarean section. Bloods were drawn and operating rooms prepared.
At 7 am a new midwife came on who said that I didnt need a cesarean section. She pushed the lip of cervix over the baby's head and at 7:15 am, I delivered a healthy 3300 gram baby boy at

I came home tuesday feeling Flu-like symptoms- achy and some lower back pain.
The pains would come and go. I had no fever.

But by Wednesday night a fever started and by Thursday morning, I could not hold a glass of water to take an acamol. I was so shaky. I called an ambulance and went to the hospital where I am being treated for a massive uterine infection that has of course spread all over my body. This deadly infection is probably a result of the negligent care I received at the hospital and the many unnecessary interventions in the birth.

I hope I live through this."
