KENGURICA 624
When I visited your site, it made me cry. Young Serbian families deserve so much more. This should be one of the most beautiful and shared experiences for mother, father, and baby. My son was born in Mercy Health Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 1990. The birthing room was beautiful, but alas, it was not meant to be - emergency C-Section. Before I went to surgery, I was counseled by my doctor and the hospital staff. I CHOSE to have a duramorph - this is an old fashioned spinal block with a drop of morphine. I was assured that the procedure was so quick that it would not impact my baby. Sure enough, there he was suddenly howling like mad. Because of the surgery, they could not place him in my arms as is the custom, so one of the nurses pressed his little face up against mine - that first contact. I got to watch everything as they walked him along on tip toes. When the nurses took him for his bath, they both came over to me, while I was being stitched up and said, "You have a beautiful baby!" On the way back to my room, I asked if we could stop and pick him up from the nursery, but they said, not yet! However, in a few hours, he was brought to my room, we were together the rest of the time. Most of the time I had him in the bed with me. When the nurses would visit, it was their job to put him back in his bed, but they were very clear that I was more than welcome to get him right back out and put him in bed with me. On the second day, the pediatrician told me that my baby seemed to very good natured and happy, he went on to say, that usually that kind of baby is pretty easy to care for - it was true - my boy slept from 10.00 p.m. at night until 5.00 a.m. from the first day home. What makes me most sad is the way that mothers and babies are kept apart here and the poor fathers ! ! ! They treat this process like it is a disease. Birthing is such an importance experience for families. I can remember seeing my son for the first time as if it were happening right now. How can they steal this from young families? Many hospitals even have a candle light dinner for the new parents on the second or third day. Just google Birthing Suites and you can see so many offers for families. Parents can even tour the facility. When we went home, there was some construction on the ground floor of the hospital. They always make you go out in a wheelchair. When the elevator doors opened, the workmen were drilling into concrete. As soon as they saw us, they stopped immediately and stood quietly while mother and baby passed. I was so honored as I held my precious son in my arms. As for my C-section, within months, I was right back to having a very flat tummy. However, my Serbian Gyn always carries on about the tiny scar and the procedure as if my doctor - one of the most respected high risk pregnancy doctors in Oklahoma - did something wrong. She insists it was an American operation of convenience - Hello! He had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and it was a legal holiday - my doctor left guests at a cook out in his backyard to come and see me, didn't like what he saw on the fetal monitor, and did this as an emergency procedure. It is a wonderful thing that you are doing. This situation has to change. Warm regards,
