It would be nice to know what hospital this was so people can avoid it. It seems that medical people who are negligent in their duties should have some accountability.
My mom had a very similar experience when my two younger brothers were born. I also am dealing with Ovarian Cysts and ttc. I hope the hospital I choose will respect my birth plan.
Make sure that you research the hospital you go to. I thought the one I wanted to go to was the best until I read about other mothers in the area who wanted to use the birthing methods I want to use and found that that hospital does not favor natural childbirth. They spoke of their experiences at another hospital that turned out much better. That changed my mind about which hospital to choose.
