Thanks Leasha. When I was in hosp after I had Steph, they thought I had endometritis (sp!) and told me that I HAD to have a drip. I refused, and they sent in a dr (who wasn't even seeing me and didn't examine me) who told me I MUST have the drip. It was truly the most horrific and traumatic event of my life. It was supposed to be in my arm only about ten minutes, they left it in ALL DAY, which as I said before made me extremely upset, and lead to them thinking that I didn't want to feed Steph, as I "didn't want to pick her up" (I actually wasn't able to) pick her up to feed her.

I am feeling more confident about standing up for myself and (if need be) refusing or requesting things.

Thank you all on BB, you are truly a wealth of information and support.
