I have had Dr. Barreth for both of my deliveries. With my first, my Son was posterior and having a hard time with his heart rate. I had to make some pretty big decisions to ensure that he would be okay. In the end Dr. Barreth called the OR to be ready and when I looked at him and told him I wanted to try to push longer he stayed with me the entire time and it was like a full on rugby feild cheering me on. I asked for help and he used the vacuum to help him out which was needed and helped my son turn just a little to give his head more space to come out.
Fast forward to 18 months later. My little girl was to arrive. I didn’t want another induction but the day came. He wanted to induce with Pitocin. I said I would rather not and he gave me two other options. I asked for him to break my waters. I went on to have a short labour of 1h 20min. When he arrived and I was pushing, I reached down and caught my daughter with him close by.
He did excellent repairs and cared deeply for our experience as new parents.
I can’t thank him enough. It’s a woman’s right to make choices for her baby and her body. When I said “no” to him he didn’t make a fuss he just found alternative ways and gave me all of my options so I could make an informed choice. I wish every doctor could see the great work they do like you do Drew. Thank you!
