Not only are my reproductive parts messed up, you expect those parts to be inflamed and swollen, beat up and bruised, but you wouldn't expect your lungs.

A few days after the birth happened, I felt like something was seriously wrong with the way that they treated us. So I actually had my husband go on to my portal and take screenshots of the notes.

Part of our contract was that two days after giving birth, we would have a visit from a home nurse that would come and check on mom and baby. I reached out and I said, hey, when do I expect the home nurse visit? And they said, oh, well, you have to come in to the birth center for your visit because you're out of bounds. Our nurse won't travel to you. I said, no, that's false.
