hospital births are largely spoken about as traumatic experiences — harried medical teams rushing, poking, strapping women down to beds and pumping them full of drugs that confuse the mind, strangle the hormones responsible for love and push them into procedures that they didn’t feel they needed. Terms like “industrial obstetric tyranny” and “rape culture” are often used.

And 1 in 6 women reported mistreatment — verbal abuse, threats, ignored pleas for help, violations of physical privacy and physical abuse — by health care providers during pregnancy and childbirth, according to a survey published last year in the journal Reproductive Health. Women who gave birth in hospitals were more than five times more likely to report mistreatment than those who gave birth at home.

I remember somewhere, there was this heifer who literally had everything planned down to the T for her birth when she found out she was having a girl. She had a fancy party planned in the maternity ward with party favors, champagne, crystal, pink color scheme, professional photo shoot, I think she even had it catered. It was a party with the works, and cost a pretty penny. All in tribute to her massive ego, but there was a surprise twist ending.
She ended up with a Tard...Downs Syndrome.
And while she said she was fine. The "shoot" was anything but, hoo boy was she unhappy. Even her blog post dripped with how pissed she was, and only spouted things like a parrot to get brownie points.
