About Me
- One Hot Mama
- I'm an early forties (advanced maternal age) mother of eight (grand multipara) who has had babies every way you can have them. Three in the hospital with docs and drugs; fourth baby at home with a lay midwife; fifth baby a c-section; sixth an HBAC waterbirth that my hubby caught, seventh an unattended home waterbirth and the eighth an emergency c-section. I'm a self-proclaimed birth junkie. I love movies and music, and I'm addicted to having babies and helping others have them too.

wow. I can't even imagine. I had an amazing midwife, and 3 wonderful hospital births attended by her. I also had 1 emergency section due to a prolapsed cord (not something my midwife could have prevented), and am thankful that even though I was under general anesthetic, my son was alive. Behavior such as this should be criminal, at the least malpractice.
I am horrified at this story, but am glad you posted it. I found the birth trauma board through it. It helps to talk to other moms who have been through similar things.
I can't imagine either. All of the docs who delivered my babies were so sweet and kind and let me be in any position I wanted, told me exactly what they were going to do before they did it, and repsected my choices if I disagreed with anything.
I am so glad that you posted this, I have forwarded that article to many of my friends.
I hope something can be done about this. This is rape, plain and simple. I guess I have just been blessed.
I was horrified by this story. I had a wonderful hospital birth with an incredibly supportive midwife and doula. It is stories like this that push me towards becoming a doula to be able to assist in providing women with a birth experience like I had.
