I told her I would see them in court if they tried something against our wishes. Not that we had the resources to effectively go against a major hospital but I would have given it my best shot.
Because a surgical birth was necessary I was not able to be present and mom was unconscious so I told a cool nurse we needed her to go to bat for us and not allow any interventions at all: no vaccines, no vitamin shots, no eye cream, absolutely nothing whatsoever. As far as I know my instructions were followed perfectly. I know we were lucky to get an exceptional doctor/nurse/midwife team that day.

Good luck to you. It will be the most amazing thing ever I'm sure.
So happy to read your story, however, so fuckin sad to read that something like that too place in an American hospital
But unfortunately, not surprised
They are both doing great so I don't think that is the case. In fact we are having another one.
