I share my awful childbirth experience. The opinion concerns only the relative department and the doctors that I had the misfortune to find us because I have to deal with other departments and I am very happy.
I gave birth by caesarean section in August at the Gemelli Polyclinic and it was the worst experience of my life that ruined the first months of pueperio and took away all desire for a second child. During the delivery they could not get the baby out and, after repeated pulls and compressions that took my breath away, I heard the doctor ask for a suction cup. The girl was born plagiocephalic and full of contractures. We still do physiotherapy today to recover the situation that neonatologists say is not related to childbirth. During the hospitalization, no gynecologist came to visit me until, after two days that my husband continued to ask for a consultation for my excruciating pain, a doctor passed by who without visiting me deduced from my symptoms that I had inflammation to the bladder and he prescribed me some Monuril to buy at the pharmacy. Yes! I was hospitalized after a problematic cesarean section and my husband had to go out to buy some medicines to use in the ward! They paid me a discharge visit and I was eligible despite the pain. All normal for them! Unfortunately, I trusted, thinking it was me who did not bear the pain well. Detained in the ward for my daughter's problems for another two days, I was discharged with burning pains and severe pain in the abdomen in the wound area and in the bladder. The discharge visit was not repeated despite the complaints of these complaints. "It's normal, it was cut!" the usual doctor told me when she passed by to deliver the resignation sheet. When I got home I looked in the mirror (which was too tall in the hospital to see me) and I was swollen and red from the wound down. The skin was burning to the touch ... I ran to the obstetrics emergency room of the Gemelli Polyclinic and I already had a tenth of a fever. They did an ultrasound in the wound area saying that nothing was visible but that the instrument was not suitable for this type of check-up and sent me home with a generic cure of Agumentin, ointment and intimate cleanser. After a few more days of terrible pain and fever, while I was laboriously nursing my little girl, the wound broke out. I was full of purulent fluid that kept coming out copiously. I rushed back to the ER where another doctor found that I had a bad infection and at least one bag of fluid. They punctured the wound in multiple places and medicated by throwing hydrogen peroxide in it without even giving me anything for the pain. Immediately sent home with a heavy antibiotic treatment I had to stop breastfeeding and do the same medication for more than a week ... only now after three months I feel better and I can follow my sweet baby with serenity even if I cannot breastfeed her properly because the milk is too short after the forced interruption. A terrible experience. There are good gynecologists in the group but not the ones I found in the week of birth unfortunately and the ward protocols would have to be reviewed since they did not guarantee my health. Finally, breastfeeding is not followed as it should because everyone is always in a hurry. I highly recommend welcoming your child to another place.
