Excelent reception! Here I found out that I would be the father of a little boy! Thank you doctors!

WE FEEL PRESSURE x STRANGE DOCTOR x ANESTHESIA x EPISIOTOMY x USE OF FORCEPS We had a perfect pre-Christmas with Maria Clara: Always very well attended and with great transparency. On the day of the birth, taken by anxiety and emotion, the birth began by Maria Clara and Isabela. We can't imagine why Isabela was present. We NEVER had conversations that Isabela or any other obstetrician would be present. My wife was focused on the procedures/orientations, but who apparently took the reins of the birth was Isabela. That bothered me (I'm the father) and my desire was to question and often tell her to shut up because of the pressure we felt for the birth of the child. The impression we had was even of disagreement among the professionals: Maria Clara encouraging and acknowledging each movement of the birth and Isabela saying that we wouldn't make it that way. Although they actually entered the delivery after 14:00, in less than 30 minutes, the child was born and occurred: - We have the records and perfect memories of every detail of the birth. If Isabela had NEVER appeared, we thought that everything could have been different. We think this because the feeling we have is the negative charge it brought, making us feel pressured, afraid, unable to continue the birth, until we thirst for anesthesia and other questionable things. - Anesthesia: Bad mistake to have accepted. We would be frivolous to say, but we don't like the anesthesiologist's presence. Respect and trust the professional, but if possible, question the real need to apply an anesthesiologist (if in doubt, follow it to the letter without questioning). Keep an eye out. Obviously there is a process of pain in childbirth. Even the Bible predicted this thousands of years ago and billions of people have already been born via vaginal delivery. However, after receiving the anesthesia, my wife claims that she lost track of what it means to exert force. The electro-motor capacity was gone, at least in terms of its measurement/intensity. - Episiotomy (cut in the perineum): According to them or one of them, this cut was necessary to avoid laceration. At the time of childbirth, we are seized by fear, anxiety and if I had known before what I know now, I would never have let this procedure be performed. REMEMBER, THE TIME FACTOR CAN AVOID THIS. I should have been more active in giving birth, rather than just watching/photographing/filming. Our daughter was born less than 30 minutes after the effective onset (expulsive period) of childbirth. So, we do think that everything was done in a hurry, with procedures that MAYBE could have been avoided based on the time factor. Is 30 minutes too much for you? If there is pressure and you are weak/weak like my wife and I were, you will give in in 3 minutes. I do not intend to face - yet - the medical clash, but we do think that there was pressure and MAINLY from an obstetrician who SHOULD NOT even have appeared in the delivery. The delivery was private, with everything carefully planned, including the DELIVERY PLAN. - THE WORST WAS STILL TO COME. - Notwithstanding (1) the passive impression that Maria Clara gave, the birth being almost totally controlled by (2) ISABELA who gave us the impression of pressure during every few minutes of the expulsion period, as well as (3) the questionable use of anesthesia, (4) the cut via Episiotomy that leaves great sequelae, came what is described below: - The child "needed" to be pulled out using forceps. We always tried to be in control of the things we do, but we didn't really know what it was and the consequences of it all. I feel guilty for not sending Isabela away from that delivery room. I feel guilty for not having studied in detail what happens and what can happen in the delivery room. Today we talk to other doctors and everyone is amazed when we talk about the use of forceps for childbirth. - With the forceps, there is a physical and psychological "wear" for the mother. Also, our child came out with a scratched face. There was also a bony bulge (near the sphenoid bone?) that disappeared after 1 year.

The doctors... on the day of delivery, I felt helpless... even though I paid, she was strange... left me with 4 interns who were sewing me and were chatting nothing to do... I felt terrible with their subject... I thought she could have at least been advising them...

Having two doctors changed my whole life! I did not go into labor spontaneously, I thought they would suggest a cesarean but Drs Maria Clara and Izabela proposed inducing labor. All possibilities were presented, I was able to choose based on quality information... They alternated care with me during the time I was hospitalized... and after almost 2 days I managed to have a normal birth as I wanted, with my baby in my lap and feeling cared for and welcomed throughout the process. I recommend both for sure!
