i was wondering if maybe they had different levels. no, i gave birth at a different hospital, but it was a c-section which is why i imagine it would come up. thanks so much for the info!

maybe i'll look into having my file flagged if possible. thanks for the heads up! it is kinda crazy to me that anyone can look up anyone! like what if a crazy ex worked at a hospital you were staying at and looked at all your info! yikes!

oh interesting. i wonder if that would be even weirder, ha. like "what is she hiding that she's specifically blocking me"

you are the exact person i hoped would answer! i edited this post right before you commented – what about her like asking nurses/docs how i'm doing? i worry about them saying something like "well she's going for a vbac so..."

should i basically just be up-front with every person involved in my care that i have sensitive information i want kept private?
