Beautiful Birth with Dr. Wonderful

I attended a really beautiful birth this week. Mom said I could share these three pictures... and I am grateful for her kindness. I haven't asked her about sharing her story yet, so I'll hold off on that for now.

Until then, enjoy her bliss!

(She is in bed by choice, not by design.)

I spent a good chunk of my labor in bed too, though sitting up, not lying down. It was easier for my to handle and get through each contraction.

I also walked, leaned over the back of the bed, and spent some time in the tub, but sitting in the bed allowed me to concentrate the most.

Nauseating is right...Dr Wonderful??? please! He tried so hard to get under my skin and make it about him... He has such a rediculous need to be "loved"! my recommendation is , get a puppy or get therapy! he crosses the line by having a complete lack of professional boundaries. There is so much more I could say but it would take too long to cover all of my nauseating and horrible experiences with "Dr wonderful". He made MY birth and experience about HIM! Dr Wonderful's goal is purely self indulgant and self serving at any cost. Sure, praise him about how amazing he was to deliver my baby after 4 hrs of pushing only to end up with a 4th degree tear and perminent damage...Thanks Dr Wonderful , I think of you every time I am intimate with my husband and trust me, thoughts of you are NOT good.

That's too bad you have such negative feelings about Dr. Biter. After working in birth for 27 years, I am here to tell you that if you want a natural birth, he is the best person for the job. It's hard when your birth experience differs from your expectations and it sounds like you might have been happier with a more interventive doctor who sectioned you at the 2 hour pushing point. There are PLENTY of those docs, so odd that you chose the tender doctor; didn't you catch on to his informal style during prenatals?

Good luck healing... body and mind. It sounds like there's still lots of work to do.

Well he is an awesome doctor (when you get to see him) He has this other doctor thats helping him out with he's patients...that I didn't really like..but anyway I wish dr. biter was there for me like that lady in the picture, he came maybe for 15 minutes to 30 minutes I pushed maybe 4 times and poof! then he left!
