Seeking doctor/midwife for natural birth in DR

[LaTeacher]

i went with shalena to the hospital when she was here last week.
i have visited cabral y baez tons of times, but the places where visitors can go is WAY different than where they can't.
there were teenage girls by themselves in labor. the doctors and nurses were detached (which HB later pointed out to me might be a defense mechanism, so that's fair on some level, i suppose) and the conditions were horrible.
one of the things that shalena is trying to do is collect sheets and towels and even infant clothes to take to the women who don't have any (nothing is provided).
*i don't know what the policy is for this so, delete me if i can't do this* if you have old sheets or towels or clothes around or are willing to buy some infant diapers or maternity pads, let me know as i will be taking their donations to cabral y baez until the midwives actually get set up here.

Hi Shalena, is this birthing center in Santiago up and running??

I thought natural birth was without makeup. I opted for every medical intervention available. I also had a high risk pregnancy because of my age, 3 previous miscarriages, and a lupus-like blood condition that required twice daily injections of heparin to prevent my body from rejecting the fetus. G*d smiled and my baby is now a healthy and happy 21-year old.

Women who choose this option have my sincere admiration and highest respect. Best of luck, and may your babies be well and healthy and may you never need high-level medical intervention of any kind, at any time, for yourselves or for your babies.

before it gets closed, let me explain. stickies are, well, stickied on the top of each sub forum. those threads will remain open and will always be displayed with priority. resurrected threads are brought to the top of the page after a poster searches for them and post in them.

Ok, A sticky stays in the location I described to you before, forever. You can find it fast anytime you please.
A resurrected thread has to be searched out, and that can be time consuming, that is the only difference.

Just noticed DV8 responded to your question.......
Didn't see before I posted.......

 

[Bronxboy]

Once in a while, these kinds of threads should be resurrected.

Valuable info for some.................
