May I ask you when you had your baby and if you were able to have your partner with you and was able to have close family to visit you?

I've been at St Peters with all 3 of my boys. Never had any problem. All apart from my second who was lockdown visitors were able to visit. X

I had my LO at frimley. Partners can come with you to all appointments. They are allowed in the antenatal ward and post natal ward until 9 pm but then have to go home. You can have up to two people with you in the labour ward.

I had my baby in June, I was induced to my partner was with me 9-9 until active labour became, you can have 2birth partners and all visiting hours are 9-9 although you can only have 2 visitors at the time and unfortunately the dads do count as visitors so realistically only one person at a time if that makes sense - any other questions feel free to give me a message!

St Peter’s has got quite a bit of stick recently, but I went in to be induced on the 22nd may and my partner was with me the whole time.
Then when I went down to the ward after my little one was born I was kept in for 3 nights and my partner was able to be with me from 9am-9pm and I was allowed one other visitor. I thought I was looked after and had no problems.
I was tempted to change hospitals during my pregnancy when I heard the bad info about them and them failing checks, but ended up not changing in the end
And I think we did ok hehe / it’s a hard choice to make and completely up to you to make the decision on what you think is best x

Frimley 100% , I had my son there was great. Check out the CQC ratings (I think that’s what they’re called)

I had my little one at St Peter’s and can’t fault the staff… I was admitted as an in patient at 30 weeks due to complications, had my baby at 33 weeks with an emergency c-section. I then spent a couple of days in hospital post c-section and my little one spent 19 days in NICU - the whole time I was there I felt like part of the family and was really looked after, cared for and honestly the staff made a crap situation bearable

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
