N.H.'s Story - Grand River Hospital, Kitchener

"I say that my child's birthday is also the anniversary of the worst day of my life. I am very sad that it is how I feel.

"I arrived at the hospital where my waters were broken and I was given an epidural. I progressed to 9cm but had enormous pain at the top of my stomach and my back.

"I woke up from my c-section to be told that I had a boy. They would not answer me as to where he was or if he was okay. I asked at least 3 times. It wasn't until I asked if he was alive that they answered that he was okay"

"My records showed that the doctor had performed a cervix check prior to waking me up to announce me needing a c-section. I have no memory of this cervix check. I was asleep, He apparently requested consent from me while I was asleep."
