UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

What I was trying to get a feeling for (and the poster below essentially mentions it) is...will she be different on that day...all along I felt rushed and not a warm feeling in any way...but the reason I picked her was because of her skills. To be honest though...do any of us really know if a DR. is not doing the right thing during the heat of the moment? Sure I have done tons of research...and have an idea how things should go....but will I know if the level of medication they are giving me or perhaps the sequence they do something is in my best interest?
[ Reply | More ]OR: I went to Kalish because I was high risk. While the exams were short, she answered any questions that I had. I needed to hear heartbeats and that my cervix was closed. When the protein level in my urine shot up and she wanted me to have a c-section that day, she agreed to do the c-section at the end of her workday when it wasn't her day for deliveries. When I asked them to re-test, my levels were in a normal range and I carried another 3 days for my scheduled date. On d-day (when I was starving, in pain and extremely bitchy - my water broke as I was going to OR), I threw the anesthesiologist out of the room. No joke. My biggest fear is anesthesia. He looked young and I asked how long have you doing this? He said 3 years. I said "you need to leave now". The anti-nausea medicine made me throw up, while I was lying on the table, paralyzed from the chest down. The spinal was not pain free but it is in and out. Kalish was the one who sewed me up. She does not pass the job onto someone else. I regained feeling and movement over my lower body approx. 15 minutes after going to recovery. You're hooked up and in bed until the next day.
