I am never going to trust a doctor again

I love Arnav, I am grateful I am alive and so is my baby, I have a wonderful husband but I have no faith, no trust left. Dr. Bajaj was the fisrt doctor I met in US. Before I got pregnant I had not visited any doctor in US. So when I looked up Edward service and contacted the doctors, she had the first available appointment. When i saw her first, I thought she looked a lot like my mother looked when she was young. No one had heard about her, she was not any of my friends doctor but I liked her and she was close to work

For 14 weeks she told me lies, bad mouthed the radiologist with me. I thought fluid levels were a fluke but now I realize how shallow she was. I am never going to trust a doctor again

Its been 8 months

And I still feel sad and depressed. Not one night has passed when I dont get dreams of being strapped in bed with foley between my legs. Dr Bajaj pressing hard on my stomach to stop the bleeding and telling me time and again not to have another kid. Bharat was standing and crying and since you are the dying person, so you are supposed to be brave and not even cry.

She asked me not to move my legs. I worked till the day I delivered and laid absolutely still for 4 days to avoid bleeding.
