labour experience
How do i go about getting all my notes from labour? I had quite a traumatic time and have struggled since giving birth with anxiety and feeling very low. Sometimes even feel detached and numb and like my baby is not mine. Then i see her smile and it’s not so bad but i’ve not went a single day without crying and have had nightmares and panic attacks since birth. I hide it mostly but seeing anyone hold my girl is hard. I obsess over her breathing and check multiple times and hardly sleep from staring at her too. I just want to be able to read everything that happened and then talk to a doctor or someone as I feel 6 weeks down the line I shouldn’t be feeling this bad still. I love my girl so much and i’m trying my best to not waste these moments and make memories but it is hard when i am struggling so much myself and feel so alone (my partner is wonderful but it’s just something he could never understand)

Find the health records department for your hospital and email requesting access to your birth records. I found the relevant email address for my hospital on Google. It can take a long time though, I requested mine months ago (July 2024) and they've said I could be waiting another 2 months still! X
@Izzy thank you!

I believe you would submit a request to the hospital administrator and they are required to provide them to you by law depending on where you live. In Canada civil suits must be laid within 2 years if you wanted to sue
