Unfortunately, there are healthcare providers who feel this way but are not as upfront. Does your doctor or midwife support and respect your birth wishes? Without a "sign" there's no way of knowing without asking. Such an important day in your life-it's worth a discussion.http://birthwhisperer.blogspot.com/2009/ 10/bullying-of-pregnant-mothers.html

Here's a little secret. If you, as a pregnant woman see a sign such as this in your OB's office, please know that you are likely to have encountered a "caregiver" who is a bully.

Your Best Birth Childbirth Services We are starting a new childbirth class series with 6 couples today! However, Dorothy has a client in labor, so Jessica will be solo teaching Class #1...a busy YBB day!

Your Best Birth Childbirth Services Congratulations to Dorothy's repeat doula clients M and S on the birth of Ainsling Sophia Fiona - a challenging labor but you did such an imcredible job to have the unmedicated birth for your little dream girl that you wanted. You should be so proud of yourself - I know I am.
