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.

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 alwa...

Wow, it's been a long time coming. Aminah has been gone almost 5 years now. Time moves so fast. I literally can not believe it. Although I have not blogged in a while, my fight for Aminah has not stopped. As we have added to our family I can't help but to know for sure that my Twin's death was definitely due to negligence of that Midwife. Anyways.........I'm proven record that you may still receive a delayed birth certificate for a home birth. Here a few pictures of what Aminah would look like to this day.
