10 Things You Don't Want To Hear From Your Doctor During Childbirth

Do we all want to be treated as human beings with respect and care? and for those who wish to have children, the positive experience of childbirth is an important memory for a woman's life.

However, not all are lucky. Some doctors do not have the sensitivity that many of us would like them to have, and end up making this experience unpleasant. Learn 10 things it is impolite to say to a woman at childbirth:

  1. "I think it's coming back?"
    There is nothing more frightening than hearing, at birth, that your efforts are being in vain, because the baby does not want to leave.
  2. How many legs are coming out of there?
    Some pregnant women often dream that they are giving birth to a four-legged animal. Hearing from your doctor that you are giving birth to another child you didn't even know is something that can really scare you!
  3. Is this my first time?
    At birth, we often prefer that our doctors have a lot of experience, to know exactly what to do with us and especially to keep us calm.
  4. Oops!
    Is hearing something like this when we are getting a haircut bad? Imagine hearing this from your doctor when he is dealing with your body and your baby!
  5. Where is my watch?
    That's disgusting. It is common among women to think that the accessories that doctors wear may be contaminated with other women's microbes. And at birth, this is not welcome at all.
  6. "I can't find that instrument?"
    It is definitely frightening to hear from a doctor that he cannot find any instrument after closing his stitches. After all, we have heard many cases of surgeries where the instruments were inside the patients' bodies!
  7. Look at that!
    There are usually many people around us at birth, which can make us feel exposed. It is not cool for the doctor to expose us further by showing what is coming out of us.
  8. ? Let's advance the time !?
    When the doctor is getting ready to pick up your baby, some of them warn you that they will pull your baby out faster. This is agonizing for many women.
  9. "Ew!"
    We know that childbirth is not the cleanest moment in a woman's life. But this is not something that should be demonstrated by the doctor, because at this time, the sensitivity of the professionals involved in the process is essential.
  10. What a big head!
    Many women in labor are already nervous enough because of the pain they are experiencing. So no one wants to hear such an aggravation that it will be harder than imagined.

Is that you? If you already have children, what was the worst thing you heard during childbirth?

If not, what are you most afraid to hear from your doctor on that big day?
