I gave birth at UCLA Santa Monica. It was a great experience. Kind L&D nurse who supported me through it all. The rest of the medical team was great and knowledgeable. I would have pushed harder to have the lactation team prioritize meeting with me before I was discharged.

I didn’t know there are several. I guess the one in the Westwood

I gave birth at UCLA Westwood. Everyone was excellent even the specialists that my baby needed to see.

I gave birth at UCLA Westwood I believe and I had a great experience ! All the nurses were so kind and attentive. They would ease my mind of any worries I had and we were just so well taken care of.

My friend gave birth at ucla and nothing but wonderful comments, I think you and your baby are in great care at that hospital! Just know it’s also your legal right to request a new nurse if a current nurse is making you uncomfortable or not handling care needs appropriately for you and baby! Whatever you need to advocate for, you have every right to speak about! (Like more skin to skin time, all tests in same room as you etc.)

UCLA Santa Monica. Everyone was so nice. I delivered with the midwives and they are all really nice.

I was supposed to deliver in a birth center but my blood pressure spiked and I had to be admitted and induced at 37 weeks. Though I was terrified of a hospital birth, the doctors and nurses made me feel seen and heard. It was a good birth experience

Thanks everyone who shared! I think I will go with the UCLA 🩷do they give the stuff after birth or I still need to pack and buy everything at max in my birth bag?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
