    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Had they gone against your wishes you'd be in the spot I am in now. Not all are so bold. I am not saying they are all going to harm you. I am saying if you are harmed it is worse than an uphill battle when it absolutely shouldn't be. Or at least no reasonable person goes into it thinking this...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    That is the point. You unknowingly relinquish control and we never consider the consequences. Because if you did need to say no or stop what would happen if they ignored you? How could that compile over and over while you are there? Or I guess the Grandaddy question... What is worse than...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Seriously this is so condescending. Yes it matters what happened to someone else, to other women who have PTSD from birth trauma (specifically around unnecessary c sections). We exist in a legal grey area due to the legal precedent, set by politician John Edwards 1985 case, having the first...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    This is so condescending. You're reading what you want to read. It is about CHOICE and respect for bodily autonomy. That consent is given freely and not under coercion or not at all only to be done against your will. I don't care if a woman wants a c section. Heck I had in my preferences I...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    No one would go to a hospital for anything if they knew they had no legal recourse for forced or no consent. I have called and called and called. No lawyer will listen. No women goes into a hospital thinking they will lose their right to bodily autonomy. If they knew they wouldn't go.

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Well it's obvious this forum is a waste of time with men trying to tell women their experience. I'm leaving this forum you people are awful. You don't seem to realize this isn't oh we saved your baby it's that they caused these issues then lied to me, medically raped me, then forced me to have...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Again you are not reading what I am writing. The legal precedent isn't there. I've talked to ten lawyers so far. It's so interesting you think you know it all having had no experience or research into this topic. It's not the trauma it's the FACT you have no rights when you go into labor and...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Oh and AGAIN they tore my uterus and my vagina but neglected to tell me... I had to find it in my notes. The one doctor said the pain I was and still have was the knot from my stitches. I can only have c sections of I can still get pregnant. The procedure that has me suicidal having flashbacks...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Once you step foot in the hospital no lawyer will represent a woman who is mistreated. Like I said consent doesn't matter, they can do whatever they want because they will say it's medically necessary. C sections without pain management, put you on pitocin against your will, cervical checks...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Thank you for this and I don't think anyone could believe how truly systematic the abuse is in obestetrics... I'm lucky to be self reflective to figure this all out and to get help, but many women never even id understand what happened to them, that it was wrong, or that they have PTSD. Yeah a...

    Medical PTSD from Mistreatment in Hospital During Birth

    Yesterday I was reading my records trying to write out my feelings about what had happened and it triggered another emotional flash back. I start screaming and shaking, I can't stop. It's so overwhelming I slam my head into the table over and over. I want to die, I feel so violated and...
