If you are thinking of giving birth here please, please read this. I gave birth once before at Beaumont. Besides my son unexpectedly ending up in the nicu it was a wonderful place with great staff and they were all very good and new all the most up to date and best ways to do everything. This time I decided to try giving birth in lapeer. My ob dr. Allen was great and I enjoyed having her as my ob. The problem came with the hospital and dr. Daley. Also one nurse. Now I will say they were all just doing there jobs but in an extremely outdated way and I m disappointed with my experience. Daley ended up being the one to deliver my son. I had never seen this woman in my life. She comes in and stands between my legs with 2 other nurses. She doesn t introduce her self or say one word. I had to ask if that was her she then finally says her name. I literally pushed for like 5 mins and he was out. Afterwards I m getting stitched up and I ask if I tore. I then find out I was cut. No one asked my permission. My baby was not under any distress and it was completely unnecessary. I was so angry. Beamount did not cut me they said it is outdated and better to tear on your own 90% of the time. Another thing. I wanted to breastfeed, which thank god 3 months later I am still breastfeeding.. no thanks to this hospital! They took my son for like 10 mins right after he was born! They gave him shots, did footprints, weighed him, and everything... I didn t get the skin to skin I so desperately wanted. And the skin to skin which is recommended by most professionals today because it is beneficial for mom and baby. It helps regulate babies heart, body temp, and helps with breastfeeding. Once again I was sitting there annoyed, and angry because my son was a small 6 pounder and his body temp was a little low. It was low because they had him out in the cold air forever instead of on my chest where he belonged! They finally gave him to me all wrapped up.,, instead of naked. Then I began to try to breastfeed. It took a few hours for us to figure it out and him to successfully latch and get anything. A nurse I had, kept trying repeatedly to get me to give him a bottle. I know first hand from my first son who was a nicu baby what a bottle does. He got a bottle and I was never able to breastfeed him. So I kept refusing and begging for more time to get breastfeeding going successfully. Which luckily thanks to the help of another sweet nurse I did. This hospital is so outdated and anti breastfeeding, at least it seems that way! I asked if they had a lactation consultant and the nurse who tried to push a bottle on me basically laughed at me. My recovery from being cut was much worse than when I tore.. I would not recommend.
