When I was in the hospital giving birth to my 1st child a nurse said something..

I think she was way out of line to say this. If that was her opinion she should have kept it to herself even if you had been an unwed, pregnant teenager. She had no right to judge you considering she probably knew very little about you. If it had been me, I think I would have lodged a complaint or at the very least asked for another nurse. That's crazy to think someone would make a comment such as that.

That is so rude, and when you are getting ready to have your baby! I am so sorry, some people are so insensitive. I got pregnant at 18, three weeks after getting married and I always got dirty looks from people, usually older people that assumed I was too young to have a baby. I remember one time I went to the mall with my mom and we were going to the parking lot to leave and I waited to hold the door open for an elderly lady and she went out of her way to go out the door next to me (it was 4 doors and she went to the one farthest away from me). And she gave me a dirty look, I felt so bad I just smiled at her then went to the car and cried. People are so rude like they know your situation or anything about you.

To make this judgement I think that I would've had to have heard her tone. I wonder if maybe she said it trying to be funny, a lot of woman during labor say they won't do it again just because of the pain (most end up having another child in the end though). I think when you're in so much pain it would be hard to really read a person correctly and make judgements on what was meant by their comment, I would hope she wasn't asssuming things and being ignorant though!

Yes I can understand the problem.I think while in a hospital the doctor,nurses should behave in a more decent manner.They should have a good behavious and kind approach towards the patients becuase, it is their soothing behaviour will only comfort the patients.

that's so uncalled for. some people just don't think before they say stuff. when i had my internship at a birthing center, some nurses and midwives went as far as hitting the woman on the quads while she's on stirrups, coz she wasn't pushing right.

I think she probably just said that because of the pain? I think most nurses try to be funny or humorous... not degrading or anything negative. Don't worry too much about what she said. She probably says that to every one giving birth.

As a nurse, that is definitely out of the line. We are trained to care for our clients and be objective, and that is not letting our emotions, beliefs, or opinions getting in our way in caring for a client. The proper thing to do I think is to shup my mouth up or tell my opinion in a nice and proper way that it wouldn't hurt your feeling after the process of labor is finished, not during the labor process. A taint on my white uniform.
