Just like to point out that they're not all bad, I went into a public hospital with little knowledge and no doula and my midwife, nurse and dr (yes, I said DR!) we're incredibly helpful and encouraging of a natural birth in every way. The fact that it was 9pm new yrs eve and very busy in the hospital when I arrived and I was still labouring by midday new yrs day didn't change the flawless care I was given.
Drs and nurses in aus wouldn't go through the yrs of study and training with little to no income if they weren't actually there to help...
That's awesome to hear a positive story
