I completely agree with you.And i'm a woman

Yea, it's annoying. A good portion of these women are plain crazy. I say live and let crazy.

Wow. I am no woman but this is as stupid as those females who put bumper stickers on their cars saying 'Proud to be a DOG Mom' equating owning a pet to having a child.

That was also a thing on social media a while back.

I don't get what's wrong with the bumper sticker. To some people their pets are their family, they love them as much as any blood relative. You protect, care for and provide for your pet, and if you love them like family, then, yeah they're basically a child. Why are you offended because someone decides to love their pet as, and view it as their child?

I do not think this bumper sticker your so offended by is anything remotely similar to this.

The issue boils down to consent. If she's in the hospital giving birth she has to sign a consent for treatment. If the Dr. feels that a procedure is medically necessary to monitor her and the baby she has already consented. However, if she can actually prove that the fetal monitor was not medically necessary she may get them for malpractice but not rape. Conflating the two is bad for everyone, rape victims (raises hand), women who have been abused by medical staff while in labor (raises hand), and it could inhibit the effectiveness of medical staff to provide treatment.

In my case the decisions made by one nurse put the life of my daughter at risk. She did not understand the monitoring equipment and simply told me that I was whining too much about the strength of the contractions as she continued to up the dose of the labor inducing medication. She had the baseline calibrated incorrectly and only the top third of my contractions were showing. I was in agony. An intern came in and knew something was wrong and caught the issue with the machine, and suddenly, the room was full of people. That nurse could have killed us both and she did nearly kill my daughter.

You are pretty helpless while in labor, you really are, but what these women are doing is stupid.

It's important to have these conversations with your doctor before the delivery. My doctor was great at communicating with me during my pregnancy. I asked questions.. lots of questions. It was my first (and only) delivery, and I wanted to know what to expect. What could potentially happen and how would they deal with it. We had tons of conversations every time I had a prenatal appointment. Nothing was a real surprise to me once I got in the hospital. I knew about the episiotomy, I knew about the monitors, I knew what conditions would necessitate an emergency c-section, I knew what to expect with the epidural (wonderful things, epidurals). I knew about all the things that could potentially go wrong, and I knew what they were going to do about them.

I might feel sympathy for women who were told one thing, but were lied to once they got into the hospital, but have NO sympathy for women who don't get all this info ahead of time, then are surprised and upset when stuff is being done to them.

I guess these are the same people who would be screaming negligence if the doctors hadn't done what they did to ensure they and their spawn were safe and healthy!

I was molested the last time I went to the doctor for a physical. It was traumatic. He made me turn my head and cough.

were you able to see both his hands?....if so, THAT would be traumatic.

For women that feel the hospital is the wrong place for them to have a baby they can always go midwife in a bathtub for a more calmer birth... No less pain and more risk but hey at least the horrors of an O2 mask would not be there...lol

Well put.
Honestly a lot of the stuff the women were complaining about seemed like normal medical practise

So, aside from what is on that placard, is there any background to this story at all? I mean, that sounds awful, but is there anything missing from the narrative here?

ETA: regarding the first image.

a reply to: TrueBrit

No thats the thing.. most of the people posting the pics dont go any further into the story. So its almost like they are all speaking out of context. Like perhaps in her case the baby was dying and needed to come out right then.. i feel like in most of these cases it seemed like it was an emergency

Critical thinking and a desire for accuracy demand better data than they are providing.

A point I would have made earlier, if I had not been talking to my son. Sorry for the delay!
