The birth of my baby boy with Dr Lionel Steinberg.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I chose Dr Lionel Steinberg to delivery My Baby Boy,16 yrs ago.I had been going to the Mercy,publicly as I couldn't get time off work,& I could go there
b4 work.Dr Steinberg was 1 of the dr's that worked at the Mercy,I thought he had a very good bed side manner,so when I gave up work 8 wks b4 I was 2 deliver,I went 2 c him privately.I was booked in 2 deliver my son on Saturday 12th,but on Tuesday 8th I had a bleed,so I rang the Dr & I meet him in the Hospital,& he decided 2 induce me.I was fully dilated.I ended up having a epidural,that went wrong,the anaesthetist apparently went 2 far in 2 the epidural space,I had all sorts of problems.All sorts of problems started 2 happen.I didn't realize my son was in the posterior position.My son got stuck & was under alot of stress,they needed 2 get him out in a hurry,they used forceps,suction & more,as well as being cut from 1 end 2 the other,eventually
Dr Steinberg got him out,he was a flat baby,so he had 2 work on him straight away,but then I was bleeding badly,so he had 2 hurry up and stitch me up.I think I went to hell & back that day.I didn't sleep for 3 days & nights.I think I was in shock,after all I went through,and thats just the begining.I ended up with having 2 have a blood patch as the epidural went wrong,massive headaches,and hard 2 lie down.Then there was part of the sack left inside of me,so I had to have a D&C.Then I ended up with golden staph.I have had 2 have 2 or 3 vaginal reconstuctions,and a full hysterectomy with both my ovaries also having 2 be removed.16 yrs later I am still having operations 2 try and fix up things,so that I can have some sort of normality in my life.What I have written here is only a little of the problems that went wrong,& a little of the problems that I have had fixed.So it is not always good to have a vaginal birth & that is what Dr Lionel Steinberg is known 4,they call him Vaginal Lionel.Why on earth he didn't give me caesarean section,I will never know ???
