Story by: kristin in havertown Pa usa

Igave birth to a 8lb 1 oz baby girl at 39 weeks of pregnancy. I pushed for 2 ans half hours. With an epidural. They never told me that I was pushing bad or anything. They broke the vaccum twice, while getting leverage off of the bed with her foot the resident pulled my baby so hard she hurt her. They took her away from me and she was swarmed by docs They then came to me and said that they broke her collar bone ( I only wish) They took x-rays and later informed me that she had a brachial plexus injury. I will never have vaginal birth again. My daughter now almost a year. Can't do certain things that others do all because some stupid doc made a bad choice
