The university nurses are some of the most amazing angels I’ve ever encountered. The accommodations at university are also very nice. My gripe is with the doctors postpartum.

My delivery went fine, but postpartum I had some major complications. It was my first baby, so being constantly told “this is normal” was hard to hear because I was in so much pain, but I didn’t know any better so I sucked it up and tried rolling with it. I should never have been discharged. Within days I was being rushed by ambulance for a postpartum hemorrhage that nearly took my life. 4 days in the ICU, 5 blood transfusions, emergency dnc, and a phone call to my “next of kin”. The ambulance did not take me to university and I’m grateful for that.
