Don't have your baby here!!! Avoid this hospital at all cost. I was overdue and scheduled for an induction. We arrived at the hospital 30 mins early as told and went straight to the delivery floor. I told the receptionist my name and appointment time, but she immediately cuts me off and tells me we have to register... So we go back to registration which took over an hour, to go back to delivery for my OB to tell me I was late and she called ahead to pregister me the day she schedule my induction. No one apologized and made me look like the bad person. After that disaster everything went fine... until it was time for my epidural that was pretty much forced on me, but the anesthesiologist doctor female who's last name started with a K, seemed overly confident in her work poked me in my back twice, and hit a nerve in my spine. The worse pain I've ever felt in my life. As I sat there crying and screaming, I had to tell her to stop and I refused the epidural. Can you believe this women told my OB doctor that she couldn't get the needle inplace because I wouldn't stop moving! This was my 3rd child, not my first rodeo and that left me livid and prior to deliveryl we planned delayed cord clamping, OB didn't listen and cut the cord immediately after birth. The most awful birth experience I've had was here at Tennova and If I could go back in time. I swear If I was dilated to 10, I would risk giving birth in the car and drive to Nashville. *excuse any typos
