birthing class dropouts.
8:27 AM | Author: Jonathan.
well, steph and i were enrolled in a birthing class. i was actually excited about the class...especially for steph. and it would be a good refresher type class for me.
when we got to the first class, i could just tell that we would drop out before the end of the six weeks. one of the first things she said was how bad a hospital Baylor Irving...my hospital...was. but that really wasnt that big of a deal. very unprofessional. but that big of a deal.
this nurse educator was really kind of bad. the class was 3 hours long and had 30 minutes of real information. and all of her information was all anti-cesarean. she told this story about her own birth experience. during the birth of her first child, her kid got stuck. the doc wanted to push the baby back in to do a c-section. of course, she refused and demanded that they force the birth vaginally. well, they get the baby out. in the process of pushing the baby out, she ripped from the vaginal area all the way down to her asshole. and it was obvious that she was trying to pressure the whole class into going that route. fuck that. if our doctor wants to push our baby back in and do a c-section, we're doing whatever the fuck she says. the educator kept encouraging the class to second guess your doctor at all times. once steph and i figured that out, we decided to bail. oh well. at least, we toured the hospital.
we told our doctor about the class. as nice as she is, you could tell that she was pissed off. she's the head of women's services at the hospital. so i figure that she will follow up on that educator.
so yeah we dont go to birthing class anymore. honestly, i'm glad to have monday nights open again.
