I was in contact with them several months ago, the financial person. She was actually at the point of being willing to send me a refund check, which was still not the full refund that I was due, but it was a portion. And I was like, I'll take that portion, you know, and at least then fight for the rest later. I already knew that they were being a little hesitant about giving people their refunds.

I also found an additional receipt that I hadn't tacked on to the refund amount that they actually owed me. And so then I emailed back and I said, here's the receipt for some more that I paid that I'm owed back per your contract. I never received correspondence from her from then on. That was my first experience with birth. The beauty of birth, it was stolen from me.

If the worst had happened, if I had torn, if I had hemorrhaged, would I have died at the birth center? It didn't happen, thank God, but my mind goes there sometimes. I was putting my life in their hands. I was just drowning in anxiety, fear, feeling violated, and then feeling angry. I myself was a medical professional. I mean, I worked in the NICU. Why did I miss the red flags?

Was I being oblivious? Was I being too proud and thinking like, well, I'm going to be just fine? Those emotions really ate at me. Some of it was the embarrassment that I had chosen to go there and that I had failed. It was like my body failed me. I failed me. Those first few months are a blur to me.

I think I blacked out a lot of those memories, honestly, because it was just such a dichotomy between the anger and the trauma at the same time having this cute, beautiful, amazing little thing that's like all mine that my body made. It was too much for my brain to handle. And it makes me so sad now looking back at pictures of him when he was little and being like, oh, I forgot that that happened.

People talk about the glow you have as a first time mom. I didn't have that. I was just out of my brains and I'll never get that time back. I felt like that was stolen from me. They stole a lot of time from me and they stole a lot of memories from me. And they stole this piece of me that I never consented to them taking. It was like no one understood what we had gone through.

Those months following were the hardest months of my life. I went several months feeling isolated, abandoned, forgotten. All of these negative thoughts that just swarm in your mind.
