(One star is way to high of a rating in my opinion)…read more My Most Traumatic Prenatal Care Experience -- Please Read Before Choosing This Provider I am sharing my experience so expecting mothers--especially Black women, women with high-risk factors, or anyone with a complicated medical history--can make informed decisions about their prenatal care. During this pregnancy, I became extremely sick with nonstop vomiting, dehydration, and physical symptoms I later learned were connected to environmental toxicity. I was prescribed Zofran by Indian River Medical Center (their associated hospital), and at the time I was not informed about any of the ongoing controversies or warnings that later became public about its safety in pregnancy. I only discovered this after the fact. As a patient, I feel I should have been clearly informed about potential risks so I could make my own fully educated decision, especially since my symptoms were so severe. Instead of looking deeper into why I suddenly became so ill compared to my previous pregnancy, my concerns and physical distress were often misinterpreted as "rudeness" or "non-compliance." These were not behavior issues -- they were symptoms of an untreated medical condition, and unfortunately, I felt judged instead of helped. When I tried to talk about my previous traumatic birth experience--where my baby's head became indented because the delivering doctor left me while she was crowning--I was met with defensiveness instead of compassion. Being told that I was "interpreting my trauma incorrectly" was incredibly painful. I lived that experience. I know what happened. I was also told at one point that CPS could potentially be involved because of marijuana use, even though I explained that I was using anything I could to cope with constant vomiting while also being prescribed Zofran at the same time. Threatening CPS felt harsh and unnecessary, especially in the context of a documented high-risk pregnancy where I was already struggling to keep food down. Another part of my care that made me uncomfortable was the repeated pressure to disclose the identity of my child's father. It felt intrusive and unrelated to my medical needs, and it added stress during an already overwhelming time. Overall, I left feeling unheard, invalidated, and misunderstood. My physical symptoms were not taken seriously, my trauma wasn't acknowledged, and I did not feel safe continuing care here. I ultimately transferred to another provider for my own well-being. I hope this review encourages better communication, more compassion, and culturally sensitive care for future patients. Every mother deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and transparency.
