Birth in Lister but Postnatal care with Bedford

Hi guys, did anyone else give birth in Lister but are with the Bedford midwifery care due to our postcode?

I was discharged from Lister yesterday after a c section and was told a midwife would call to see me today..I instead got a phone call from Bedford midwives today saying I had to come all the way to Bedford hospital tomorrow to be seen.

Obviously just having had a c section I'm way too uncomfortable to be in the car for 40 mins each way so hoping they will come out and see me instead.

Anyone else been in a similar situation? And if yes what did you do?

Any advice greatly appreciated!!

I had similar, although didn't have a c section. Had to go to Bedford hospital for check ups over weekend

Did you ever ask about them coming out to you instead? Thank you for the reply!

They told me they weren't open over the weekend so had to be Bedford hospital and when I mentioned them coming to me during the week as lister told me, they said they didn't have the staff!

This happened to me too but no c section. Had to go to st Mary’s school instead though, which is obv a lot closer - have they given you no option of there?

midwives came to the house to see me today so all sorted! And yeah I normally go to St Mary's for my appointments so will be doing there again Tuesday, which I don't mind at all as it's a lot closer!

Brilliant to hear, well done!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar
