I had my baby last year. My whole pregnancy, I met wonderful midwives and the one with me during my labour was amazing. Can't express how good and kind she was.
During my labour the doctor made me uncomfortable. I had a normal birth and I was trying my best but they kept saying to me that I needed to push hard - I was crying and saying that I was trying. That discouraged me and made me feel sad at such a special moment of my life and I almost gave up, feeling that I can't do this.
The midwife took over, held my hand and told me I know you're doing amazing. We are almost there. Can we try one more time. She was so kind, I wish the doctor was a little kind as well. They said those words with such a straight face, I would never forget that. I wish they hadn't been there so I could have had an amazing delivery time.
They ruined my happy moment by such a small action.
