Here I am a midwife for 23 years, hearing the same old horrible birth stories repeating themselves. I fight and fight, I write a book, Ruti and I try our best to present information in this website, and women still are choosing to birth in hospitals, not knowing who their midwife will be, being hooked up to monitors, agreeeing to time limits, getting mistreated, letting their babies be taken away. Progress is so slow I could scream. The system stinks and women don't learn that you can't just take a chance and hope all will work out and you will have a great midwife and doctor. You are all right, it should be for free and you shouldn't have to pay for a wonderful birth. But face it, it doesn't work that way. Couples pay lots for fancy weddings, big parties after the birth, trips abroad, fancy baby furniture, but won't spend 4000 shekels for a dignified and safer homebirth or birth center birth. At least learn from this and have a healing experience the second time around. You poor thing. What a nightmare birth. I have seen this "birth rape" too many times and bear many scars. Send this letter to all the birth forums and of course to the hospital administration and the delivery room. You have been the victim of abuse, and I hope that women will learn from your story. My sympathies, Ilana
