Details of experience
We experienced a loss in our first pregnancy which meant birthing at 15 weeks. After this we naively believed if we paid we would be saved that trauma again. I handed all my decisions over to the OB and had no idea that I could have had a much better experience had I done more research. I believed my best interests were at heart but a live baby and mum was the standard.
