Find a different OBGYN practice and doctor if you can! My wife was only in labor for 12 hours at Holy Cross Hospital, she had been induced with pitocin and was already dilated at 10 cm...when at the very last minute he bullied her into having a c section saying baby was supposedly too
"huge" (looking to be around 9-10 pounds). Only gave her a total of 5 minutes to make up her mind before forcing her to sign the consent forms and shipping her off to the operating table. The anesthesiologist was absolutely terrible at inserting her epidural and it never had enough time to set it and work efficiently before they started cutting into her and ripping baby out. Wife was in extreme pain from feeling all the sensations and violently throwing up/ passing out every few minutes...when our daughter came out, she weighed a mere 7 pounds and 6 Oz, which definitely raised questions as to why she couldn't have tried for a vaginal delivery. I feel like Dr.Brooks definitely knew he had more to profit money-wise from a c-section, and the whole thing seemed very manipulative and callous on his end. My wife ended up having a very long recovery period (6 months) and during that time, developed severe postpartum depression and still has been seeking therapy to get through her awful labor & delivery trauma. We will not be returning here for the births of our future children and advise caution for those who work with Dr.Brooks read more
