Have others found that they get angrier at the care they received as time went on? I’m three months postpartum and am frustrated that my feelings about my birth are getting worse, not better.

I was a birth center to hospital transfer (in the US). My midwife came to check me at 2am, found I was at 4-5cm, and told me I couldn’t go into the birth center yet and to call at 8am. At 8am I was pushing in the car on the way there.

Then my baby had some longer decels so she transferred us for continuous monitoring. She didn’t offer to come with us like was in our contract as she ended up having another birth there at the same time, and afterwards I felt completely dropped as a client.

I ended up having amazing care at the hospital, which I’m so grateful for, but I’m so frustrated at how alone and scared I was in those moments.

Wondering if anyone had similar experiences and how they moved past it.
