You have to TELL them NOT ask them to do things.
I was 7 months pregnant with UNdiagnosed Celiac disease, went in because I was sick (like 7 times in a month) and the Dr's and nurses and NMW were all VERY rude to me and even down right mean at times. Telling me all my major organs looked fine, my blood was fine and they couldn't understand why I was acting like that and crying so much and throwing up everywhere. I had to eventually get my composure and tell this Head of Obstetrics jerk to sit down, shut up, and listen to me. He was floored that I was talking to him like that, but it got his attention and he took care of me briefly (over night this time).
I went in again at 38 weeks with ctx, hooked up to monitor, having decels in fetal heart rate and told she was sleeping, monitor clearly showed she was moving like a crazy person though (I could feel it too, super kicks really) and sent home for lack of progress. I asked them several times if her heart should be going down like that so many times (not just once or twice in the 10 minutes I was on) told all was normal and come back if I was really in pain. My daughter passed away the next day. She was in distress from the cord being wrapped too tight and I pointed out that there was a problem, they didn't care at all and we lost our baby. I went in and asked for my records, and monitoring strip, the stupid lady tried to tell me they didn't have to give me my records at a MTF. I FREAKED out, and demanded she hand them over, and told her my attorney would be in contact. I did get my records with help from the attorney, but there was time missing from the strip as well as one of the hospital visits from being so sick, the attorney eventually said he couldn't help me.
Just tell them, demand even that they not take the baby from you and if they do the things you don't want them too (put it all in writing, ie BP) tell them you'll sue the crap out of them, do NOT let them bully you. Just my 2 cents worth.
Oh and my 1st daughter was born there too, they treated me like sh!t then too, my blood pressure was 175/115 BEFORE they even acknowledged there was a problem. They tried to put an internal fetal monitor inside me BEFORE they would give me an epidural, UM hello, we should NEVER dig around inside a person with NO pain meds stupid nurse!!! Couldn't believe I was in so much pain because I was only dilated to a 3, again hello stupid people, refused to give me an epidural (I was only 19 and very uninformed) because I hadn't made it to 4cm, after 45 hours of hard labor convinced them to give me the epi and baby delivered 20 minutes later (3-10cm in 20 mins!!) I hate them and the hospital I delivered at and would never ever do it again!!!

When they finally did surgery the surgeon said it was the worst infection he has ever seen without someone dying. Gee thanks.
