I am pregnant and my midwives want me to have some blood drawn. They had a hard time getting at my blood themselves so they sent me to a 3rd party Phlebotomy clinic to get the service done. I call these people to make an appointment and I am faced with “masks are required.” I asked “will I be refused service if I do not wear a mask?” They answered “yes, sorry its not my policy its the corporate office.” I said “I understand. Thanks I will be going somewhere else.” And hung up.
I wrote to corporate to let them know I am pregnant and healthy. Masks do nothing for my health, my babies health or others. I explained I would never ever be a patient of theirs with this crap policy.
My poor midwives are caught in the middle. I apologized to them even though they are super kind to me. I said they can try taking my blood next time if they really need it.
Done venting.
This shit will continue until 'corporate' starts losing money. Then its suddenly ok.
Thats awesome! Ill certainly mention it! I plan on exercising in the sun, drinking a ton of water and coming in to see them in the afternoon next time. When they attempted the blood draw last time they sprung it on me. I was in my 1st trimester not feeling well or drinking much water cause everything was gross. It makes sense why they weren’t able to get anything from me and we have high hopes for this time around. They sent me to this 3rd party because my next appointment with the midwives is over a month away and they want to know the blood glucose sooner than later. Oh well 🤷🏼♀️ I have no reason to suspect I have any blood glucose issues so Im not worried. First pregnancy had no blood sugar issues
These places that burn me will lose money 10 years from now if I have anything to do with it. I will never be back even if they apologize. The other place that pissed me off was that shitty World Market store. I used to love to kill an hour checking out all their cool items - no more! Never ever again! Fucking burn.
I understand that the natural way to give birth is to squat with your back against a tree so that gravity assists. (Not that I know anything. But on TV I've seen the vet tie a rope around the hooves and pull - in case that helps!)
Damn straight we got the rope ready and everything
What State are you in? Under whose authority is there a mask mandate? State? City? or is it this company? I'll send you some info that you can use to cost them to respond. Make them pay. If they want to play this game, let's make it unbearable for them.
No state mandate I am in Utah. Its corporate policy they said
Okay. If your interested in getting their attorney(s) to reply to your Complaint letter and the accompanying Cease and Desist demand, I have a 28 page document I used and I gave them 10 days to respond before further action was going to occur. It costs them money to have attorneys research and respond to letters like this. For me, it was the cost of certified mail to make it official. In the letter I request arbitration to resolve the discrimination before further action takes place. The letter is packed with State and federal laws that are being broken.
Lawsuits are always the last remedy and to be avoided. Arbitration is the means of remedying a wrong and it also builds your case against the entity that has discriminated against you. The biggest mistake made by people is to file a lawsuit without doing everything that can be done to remedy the situation before showing up in the court room. The exchange of letters and arbitration is the means to show, if it ever was decided on your part to pursue a lawsuit, to show the judge you did everything possible to resolve the wrong. This is how cases are won. People lose lawsuits because they don't attempt to find remedy and compromise before going to court. 95 percent of all wrongs are arbitrated and never see a court room. Think of Personal Injury attorneys. Their clients never see a court room because all of it is arbitrated before it ever gets to that point.
Being a pregnant woman, you are especially a person that can be easily regarded as a medical condition. Humans are not very efficient at oxygen intake and less than 5% of oxygen from the air is actually used by the body at any given moment. We inhale 20.95% oxygen and we exhale 16% oxygen. Carbon dioxide is only 0.0394% of the atmosphere. Yet, we exhale 4%. This is over a hundred times the amount inhaled. That same CO2 is trapped in the dead space of face masks and is inhaled on the next breath. It doesn't take long for your oxygen intake to drop below 19.5%. OSHA regulations state this is when organs start to be damaged by CO2 build up and the lack of O2. Your baby needs all the oxygen it can get. And this is only a small part of the dangers of wearing a face mask. Wearing a face mask is crazy, especially when pregnant. You can easily damage your baby if you do.
If you are interested, I can send this document to you on protonmail. You can set up an account anonymously. Just send me an email via protonmail at: [email protected].
I'll respond by sending the complete document as a email. Once you get it read through it and use the Federal laws and update the State laws for your State. These mask mandates all come from the CDC and through your State Department of Health (DoH) as guidelines. Remember guidelines are NOT law and are ALWAYS inferior to the law.
No one gets my blood with a mask. Im so tired of this shit. I can refuse a blood draw right
Its fine Ill deliver my own baby 😡🤬😡
Ugh
I did it too, I wore one in to see my grandma. Its just frustrating that its still pushed. Its still a thing. Here we are and its completely obvious they do nothing for anyone and yet they still push. And now I am pregnant so I worry about my baby too, you know? Ill get the blood drawn from the midwives, I am just simply grouchy today.
Great questions!
My midwives are the ones that insist on the blood. They use science backed tests to determine if I have signs of preeclampsia, high or low iron etc. They say its important - I don’t care either way. If I had it my way I would decline but my midwives feel comfortable with this information.
This is different than wearing a mask because there is actually science utilizing the scientific method continually proving that its beneficial to know these blood test results as apposed to the mask mandates which are not backed by science at all and may actually hinder health in various ways. Plus, its the gateway drug to communism and I refuse to consent as a proud patriotic American. The mask is bad for my oxygen levels and I am growing a brain in my belly.
Any other questions?
Just because a large amount of people do something for the general public, doesn't mean it's communism. Millions of people pay taxes for their local police department, that's hardly communism. Preventing treatment for your baby to be more "patriotic," instead of listening to medical science sounds like an anecdotal decision of ego.
This has been disproven, they even tested masks during vigorous exercise, and it was still disproven.
"Time to exhaustion during the exercise test was not different for face mask compared to no face mask conditions"
"Exercise Performance in Healthy Individuals"
Did that include pregnant women?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8050876/
Cloth face masks led to a 14% reduction in exercise time and 29% decrease in VO2max, attributed to perceived discomfort associated with mask-wearing. Compared with no mask, participants reported feeling increasingly short of breath and claustrophobic at higher exercise intensities while wearing a cloth face mask. Coaches, trainers and athletes should consider modifying the frequency, intensity, time and type of exercise when wearing a cloth face mask.

When using double SM, oxygen saturation is significantly reduced compared to pre-mask values. Nevertheless, it seems difficult to say that these decreases have clinical significance.
We could cite studies to each other all year. I doubt we'll change anyone's minds. If she doesn't want to wear a mask that's her choice.
My mother managed to successfully deliver four babies without one single blood draw, and that's how it was for centuries. There's a lot about the medical-industrial complex that is intended (per Rockefeller's design) to suck people into the system: The more tests, the better; the more drugs, the better; the more hospitalizations, the better; the more vaccines, the better (and they include things that are actually detrimental to one's health, like formaldehyde and aluminum). That fits Rockefeller's plan because he wanted a sick society dependent on the entire money-making racket that the medical-industrial complex has become.
True that. I’ve declined literally everything else. I don’t want any intervention, my baby will be very healthy without their help. The midwives are awesome though and I suppose they want to know my iron levels and what not. They have been very accommodating to me.
I had a huge spaz fit and needed to spit out all my emotions thanks for listening
I'm not disputing the midwives' concern for your wellbeing, but they're following protocols put in place by the medical-industrial complex.
Best wishes for you and your baby!
Yeah totally and thank you very much for lending an ear. My frustration isn’t with them at aaaall, they are great. More than great!
