Re: Stony Brook Midwives, Terrible Experience, Beware

Consult a lawyer. The way you were exploited and manipulated when you were at your most vulnerable is disgusting.

i am so glad that you're both alright.

I spoke to someone like that about a yoga class when I was pregnant and her shaming and fear mongering turned me off completely to all that she was trying to sell. To protect myself, I went as far away from all of that as I could.

I LOVED my birth experience with doctors in charge. I was treated with respect and my pain was never used as a weapon of shame against me. Women should always have choices and support for the choices they make at any step in the process. No shame or agenda pushing should enter in. I am so sorry fr what you went through, but glad that you can out alright and ready to warn others.
