Showing Original Post only (View all)Forced C-Section [View all]
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2631088/Woman-suing-says-doctors-forced-C-section-against-perforated-bMy daugther just gave birth 2 days ago in NY. She was forced to take Pitocin against her will. The doctor (group practice) started yelling at her because she was was in "prolonged labor". FIVE HOURS is prolonged labor? WE expect 1 cm an hour dialation. She was only at 3 cms. so it was time for medicine to intervene after 5 hours.
Assembly line deliveries they want. It was a HORRIBLE delivery, and her son is now back in the hospital with complications.
If any woman can avoid it, delivery your babies at home, at least if you live in New York.
