Home Birthing While Black

THE EXPERIENCE SUCKED...............
THE MIDWIFE WAS HORRIBLE AND SHE DIDN'T TREAT ME  RIGHT......
THE HOSPITAL TREATED ME LIKE SHIT......................
THE PARAMEDICS TREATED ME LIKE A HUMAN, SHOWED UP DIDNT HAVE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
THE LEGISLATORS TREATED ME LIKE A CHARITY CASE
THE ATTORNEY'S WOULDN'T TAKE MY CASE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET ANY MONEY AND BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REPRESENT ME
THE MIDWIFE HAD NO PROBLEM TAKING ALL MY MONEY
THE MIDWIFE DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH MY VAGINA. MEANING DOING EXAMS
THE MIDWIFE DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW TO THE GRIEVANCE SHE FILED A RESTRAINING ORDER BECAUSE SHE FELT THREATENED BY MY BLACK HUSBAND
THE MIDWIFE NEVER SHOWED TO THE HOSPITAL
(NO RESPECT FOR ME AS A WOMAN)
THE MIDWIFE DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD
(TOO MANY BLACK PEOPLE)
SHE WASN'T INTERESTED IN DOING ANY LABS ON ME OR ULTRASOUNDS
Most people would say she was just a bad midwife but NO she took me as a client because I didn't have a problem paying her every time she seen me you just know if somebody is treating you different because of your skin color.
The Midwife treated me different from the rest of her clients. I was told after my daughter died that the midwife did not give me the best care and it was probably because she was uncomfortable in my black environment.

Home Birth Disaster

June 17, 2013 I had to make the choice of letting my twin daughter Aminah pass.  It was truly the hardest decision that my husband have ever had to make.  Until that day, I never truly knew what real  pain and disappointment felt like. As I write these words now tears drop on the top of my keypad of my laptop.  What happened? Why me?  These are the questions that I ask myself everyday since her death. If any woman chooses to have a home birth with a midwife please make sure that it is something that you really want to do and realize that indeed it is a major risk that you are taking.   The pain of losing an infant is unbearable and I would like to prevent any other woman from going down the same path rather your having one baby or two. I found out I was pregnant with identical twins in November of 2012. We had already decided to have a home birth before the twin conformation. It was something we always talked about . We decided to keep our  original plan to birth at home.

Holding NARM (North American Registry of Midwives) Accountable

-
These women are smart.  There is no accountability really at all when complaints are being filed or when a death has occurred on behalf of a midwife. Remember if your contacting NARM you probably are wanting to file or complaint or get some information. They are wonderful if you are trying to obtain information but if a baby has died you will get the VOICEMAIL often. They will forward your call and make false promises. They duck and dodge you and act like they have not forgotten about your case. If a death has occurred on behalf of a negligent midwife the Midwife will hide and NARM will act like the parent of the midwife and protect their little child. They hide in so many ways it's disgusting.  Shannon Anton for the accountability department has been on vacation for I don't know how long that is what they say every time I call. I'm starting not to believe them. You see I'm not trying to (hate) on home birth. I mean to be honest and truth of the matter is NARM has p
