Unhappy with your maternity care

Then complaint. Make your voice heard so that others may not be subjected to the same torture you were subjected to.

Many times we choose to keep quite and ignore because We are afraid of letting the world know that we have been treated so badly. I was afraid will people still think me as the bright and smart girl when I could not take care of my own well being, when I couldn’t take right decision about my own child. I felt guilty that I couldn’t judge people correctly

I felt ashamed, guilty, failure. I was afraid of what people will think. I was scared arguing and asking Vimi Bajaj for my records because I was scared of going to any doctor. I believed that my doctor had my best interests in mind but this was not the case.

But there is nothing wrong and ashamed of in putting in words what you are feeling. Save someone the heart break. Let the world know that when Vimi Bajaj could do this to a healthy smart educated girl, she can do this to anyone. Complain and ensure that your voice is heard. Spread the word, be brave and this is the pathway to healing emotionally and physically
