Dr. Ngoyi had been my gynecologist for 10 years when I became pregnant. I started seeing her several weeks into my pregnancy. She immediately dated me according to my last menstrual cycle, even though I have never had a regular cycle, which being her patient for a decade, she should have known. At my mid pregnancy ultrasound they moved my due date by more than a week. During my third trimester I brought in my birth plan to discuss it with her. She denied almost every request I made, and was extremely negative about the idea of a natural birth. She told me if I had a short labor it would be fine, but if I had a long labor I would probably have to get an epidural so I wouldn't be too tired. The week before my EDD by ultrasound, she told me if I was still pregnant the next week we would discuss induction. I thought she meant the possibility if I went much longer without going into labor. The next week I was 2 days overdue by ultrasound, and 1 week 3 days overdue by LMP. She came in and announced she was going to call the hospital and schedule my induction the next day. I asked her to strip my membranes to try and induce naturally, and she refused, citing the possibility of infection. She then gave me the sixth vaginal exam she had given me to see how far dilated I was. I was 3 cm, but my son was only at 0 station, and she told me my cervix was "still up in my throat." I asked her to break my water before using Oxycontin to induce my labor, and she agreed. The next morning she broke my water after checking to see if my son was head down, which he was. After an hour with small contractions, she had the nurse administer Oxycontin. An hour and a half later I asked for an epidural for the pain. Within 8 hours of breaking my water I was dilated to 10, so they had me begin to push. After an hour of pushing with my son not moving, his heart rate dropping, 3 minute long contractions, and the epidural no longer working, she told me she was going to give me a c section, which I had asked to be only a last resort. They tried to administer the anesthesia through my epidural, which did not work. As I was brought into the OR, I was still contracting and feeling all the pain, as well as crying because I was upset about the section. Dr. Ngoyi grabbed me and forcefully told me to stop panicking. I then tried to lay quietly through the pain.They decided to give me a spinal because I could still feel everything, and when they lifted me up they discovered the epidural had fallen out. The spinal was administered, and they began the surgery, with no one talking to me until my husband was finally brought into the room. My son was delivered and handed to the pediatrician, the cord was cut, his apgar was taken (9/9, though he was supposedly in distress), and cleaned and swaddled before I saw him. While Dr. Ngoyi was stitching me up, she said "you have no fat on you, you will go right back to your original size." I felt as I was still crying and upset this was very inappropriate, especially considering it was a remark about my appearance. I was unable to hold my son for another 20 minutes, as I was shaking so badly from the spinal. Dr. Ngoyi came in, checked my incision, and left without discussing the reasons for the c section, or anything else about the labor and delivery. At my 6 week check up with her, she asked me if my son was turned posterior, and I didn't know the answer. It had never been mentioned to me, and was not mentioned in my medical reports, but with the way my labor progressed it does seem to indicate that. I don't know if she discovered this before I was induced, or after the c section, but I don't know why it wasn't checked before my water was broken. I think I should note that I was induced on a Friday, 2 days before Easter, and my c section was performed less than an hour before shift change (my nurse actually left while they were stitching me up). I am now in therapy from PTSD from my c section, and am devastated at the idea that I was needlessly cut into, and that this will affect all my future births. For my next birth, I will be moving to a new practice that follows ACOG guidelines, and practices evidence based medicine.
