It happened to me. I felt dizzy and passed out my husband tried to catch me in time but to late hit my head on the wall and went to the hospital to get checked out. And after my son was born child/family services were investigating making sure i wasn't in an abusive relationship. Its so stupid.

I was 18 when I had my daughter and after I had her a social worker came in to "talk" to me. "Talking" was an under statement... The social worker made me feel like a worthless person for having my daughter. I ended up in tears yelling at her to get out of my room. She said that it was "hospital policy". And most of it was question about how I was going to raise my daughter and why me and her father weren't married. I understand at some point why they would do that. But at that point I truly felt like she had crossed a line.

I wouldn't worry unless u r being abused or do drugs or something like that. When someone is being abused and go to the hospital they usually use excuses like they fell or ran into something so doctors are pretty skeptical when they do come across someone that is clumsy. The doctor was just doing his job, same as any social worker. They are not evil people, they are all just people looking out for you and your unborn child. They would do an investigation before trying to take your child away, and normally you have to really be an unfit mom for them to take ur child. Just cooperate with them. The more you fight back the more suspicious things look. The way i look at it is you can't find evidence of something that doesn't exist.

they either think your trying to miscarry or that u are being abused or that you dont want your child. for some reason a social worker would call me when i got pregnant i was 20 she said its standard procedure on patients 20 and under im 21 due april 20 i never met with her still dont know why she wants to see me so bad but she can **** off im not talking to her idk they insist so much just keep everything on a yes no basis and take your mom or anyone older so they cant report u they make a big deal out of everything. honestly dont feel bad i dont do drugs or drink i have everything for my son he has a loving home and family and i got to schoom fulltime and money is not an Issue but a social worker was still trying to talk to me and i dont have a record so ur not alone and report the doctor because hes pr she is the reason a social worker will talk to u

I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I just would think that would be the only reason they would say that kind of thing. What I meant was they probably don't think you're an unfit mother or anything like that

I'm a clumsy person too and I've never had to talk to a social worker after having my baby. Don't stress yourself out over it. Even if they want to talk to you after baby they're just checking to make you that you and your baby are safe. It shouldn't be anything to make you scared.

I was 19 gave birth in a hospital and not even an hour later a social worker came in to talk to me said it was hospital policy. She made me cry I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and she walks in thinking I am getting abused waited to ask me these questions when my husband left with the nurse.
