Okay so when I have Vasalvagal syncope , which is pretty much a passing out disorder . I pass out and have the same symptoms as seizures , flopping around , foaming from the mouth , etc . And it comes with over exertion , not eating right , too much pain , you know , normal things that cause you to pass out . So I was scared to give birth naturally because I was worried the over exertion and pain would cause me to pass out and flop around , which is obviously dangerous to my baby during the process of her being born . But my obstetrician refused a C Section even though I made it pretty clear I wanted one . I brought it up months before I had my baby . Anyway , the day comes and I'm having trouble pushing and after 2 hours of hard labor , I kept asking to be cut or for him to at least use the vacuum to help me out . But again , he refused . Then at the lasttt minute he cut me and my baby came out not breathing because her umbilical cord was around her neck really tight . They couldn't get her to breathe for 3 whole minutes and she now has brain damage from the lack of oxygen to her brain for that long . She even has seizures because of her brain damage . The damage isn't severe , but it's not mild . They said it was in the middle . She was life flighted to a NICU and she was hooked up to machines for 11 days . We couldn't hold her , feed her , nothing until around the 9th day she was there . She also had breathing problems while she was there , she would stop breathing out of no where and the machine would beep and the nurses would have to assist her . Thankfully she got over that quickly . Long story short , I feel that this all could've been avoided if the hospital would have taken my preferences seriously . So , mom's , if you feel like something isn't right or that there's a better way to do things when it comes to your baby , MAKE THEM LISTEN TO YOU
