Currently 36 weeks and baby girl is breech. Having a scan this Friday to sew if she has moved otherwise considering an ECV. I've been made aware of the risks etc. Apparently there's a 50/50 chance of it working. Had anyone been through this before and had an ECV? Thanks 😊
Has anyone else had their baby circumcised around a year old? How was it? I have to for NICU reasons and that’s the best option after consulting many professionals just trying to prepare! Ps. You aren’t gonna change my mind about getting it done idc what you think about it🫶🏻🫶🏻
Anyone get pregnant again under a year PP? I have had two c sections one 7 years ago and another 9 months ago. Any stories getting pregnant under a year?
Ladies, please advise what should i go for? RV or Foothills for my 2nd csection delivery. I had my first in RV but honestly my experience sucked big time in terms of night doctors and having a shared room 🙂↕️ One of the times they forgot to give me painkillers and even when it was their mistake they told me to…
Hey ladies, my family doctor told me not to go for midwife if im planning to go for csection. Basically i had an emergency csection first time and she said its safe to go for repeat csec considering my age(38) until Im hell bent of trying Vbac this time. I’m not sure if I should think of Vbac ladies 😢 what if they…
My neighbor just had a little girl and I want to spoil her with some small gifts when she comes from the hospital (porch drop off and a text I promise) :D What are some things you would like to receive if you were in her spot? I was thinking of some tummy time toys, books, bake her lactation cookies and maybe order ...
It is looking more and more like I will be having a C section. I had my first vaginally but this baby is sitting breech so a c section it is. What are some positive c section experiences? What should i expect? What are some must haves post partum? Will i be in pain the whole time after the spinal wears off?

I’m due with baby number 2 in February and I’d love to hear some details about your experiences, good and bad, what are the wards/rooms like, staffing experiences etc… anything you think you would have liked to know before going! ...
Hi ladies, hope you are okay! Just wanted to know what peoples plans were for taking colostrum to the hospital. 1- how many syringes are you planning to take with you? 2- are you planning on taking it with you from the point you are taken onto the delivery ward, or are you sending your partner home to collect it a...
At my midwife appointment last week I was told that my consultant suggests induction by week 40 and that they will get in touch soon for an induction date. I'm 39+3 and my due date is this Saturday. Do you know how in advance they will let me know or which department at the JR I should call to ask?
Can you request this during a c section?
Anyone’s feet swollen after c section?
Does your mucus plug have to have blood in it for labour to be near? Or can it be clear also
A pretty grim one but I’m 6 month PP and have seen no improvement in discharge at all. It’s clear and odourless so don’t think it’s an infection. It’s particularly bad when I get up on a morning. Just wondered if anyone else is in same boat? Or whether I should go to GP
I saw a lot of negative stuff about Emory Midtown and was a little concerned that was the only place I could deliver with my OB, but I will say, the team I had was pretty awesome. I didn't have the smoothest delivery with a slight cord issue, but we got through it and everyone was really great. It is a teaching hos...
I know everyone’s different but how did contractions start with everyone? I feel silly even writing this because this is my second baby but I can’t remember😂 for the past 4 hours or so I’ve been getting tight crampy feeling at the bottom of my tummy every 10 mins or so for about 30 seconds. Could this be them…
So I need to be in London on Thursday. Plan to drive to Stanmore and take the tube from there. My question is, how does it work with babies and pushchairs?? 😅 and how will I know I'm taking the correct way tube? I need to go to the Polish embassy, so I figured I need to take Jubilee and change onto Bakerloo to…
Hey ladies 👋🏾 is there anyone who is delivering or delivered at Northside and had a black OBGYN?
I am almost 37 weeks and baby is lying breech so I am being booked in for a c-section at around 39 weeks - does anyone know how long it usually takes for the date to come through? Also if anyone could share their experience of a c-section at York hospital that would be great - it wasn’t my plan A so I am trying to ...
