Obs who are pro natural vaginal births

Hey 👋 so I originally wanted to go the midwife route cause I wanted a natural vaginal birth but all the midwives for the hospitals I wanted are full 🙈 I know I am going to need a referral to an ob soon but trying to find one in toronto that is pro natural birth and not super pushy about medical intervention if not absolutely necessary. Let me know your experiences and hospitals they are at?

I had planned an elective c-section but would have needed one regardless as little boy was stubbornly breach.

My OB was Dr Noor Ladhani at Sunnybrook—she’s pro whatever you want for birth unless there’s a medical necessity and honestly she was wonderful. I highly recommend her and the clinic at Sunnybrook if that’s in your area

Sunnybrook was one of the hospitals I was looking at. Thank you!

I see Dr. Mackenzie from Michael Garron Hospital she is not pushy at all and takes the time in each appointment to answer questions. She also doesn’t rush appointments at all. I love her!

They ALL prefer natural birth and try to avoid c-sections.
They will do everything to get you into natural birth rather a surgery.
Where are you getting the info that will push you into a c-section if not necessary?

Have you looked into midwife + the Toronto birth center? I checked it out before and the place is really nice but I ultimately decided home births with my midwife.

The 3 midwives places i contacted are booked up for my due date. I have an appointment with sn ob at sunnybrook so I guess I'll see how that goes

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
