Mothers were reported after they were given medications used routinely for pain or in epidurals, to reduce anxiety or to manage blood pressure during cesarean sections.
Hot take but this is one of many reasons why I’d never give birth in a hospital unless it was 100% medically necessary (and also one of a
million reasons why I will never give birth at all.)
Nurses and doctors are cops. Social workers are cops. Everyone fancies themself a fucking cop.
My sister gave birth to her first child at a hospital and the experience was so bad, she needed years of therapy and vowed she’d never give birth in a hospital again. Her second and third kids were delivered at home with a certified nurse midwife.
And my sister is not anti-medicine or anti-vaxx. She takes pharmaceuticals. She and her kids are fully vaccinated.
The way birthing people are treated in this country is oppressive and carceral.
