Labor pains are not in my head, huge clots, bleeding an obscene amount for twice as long, crippling pain that makes me claw into something and brace myself, just like labor. I truly believe I'm being discriminated against for having a mental illness. Can't prove it, but deeply suspect.

ElsaMars, I am so, so sorry that your doctor is negligent. I firmly believe that we are frequently discriminated against by doctors because we have mental illness. I despise my GP because she blows me off at every turn, and I truly believe she just sees me as a 'nut.' I find myself wishing pain on her, pain that no one will help her with....
