I’ll be giving birth at Summerlin. I’m a FTM, so I have no insight, just want to see what others are saying.

Honestly I’ve been to centennial hills hospital and Mountain View hospital they both had their pros and cons but I would go to centennial hills hospital again.

I gave birth at Henderson Hospital and they treated me so well!

let us know how your experience goes. I want to try and different hospital for my fifth one 💜

I loved southern hills. New hospital with a great NICU just in case it’s needed, they have recovery suites you can upgrade to and it was so worth it. My SO had an actual queen bed to sleep on and we had basically teo rooms to ourselves. Nurses were amazing and I honestly had a great experience

That sounds great! Only if they were a little closer.

location is key for sure! I’ve honestly heard good things from different moms about a lot of the hospitals around the valley. St. Rose sienna is really good, summerlin, centennial, sunrise. The only one I’ve heard negative things about is spring valley 🥶

I just gave birth at southern hills and I loved it. They treated me so well. I loved the celebratory dinner for mom and dad after the baby came

That’s very sweet!

I appreciate all these responses so far. 😊

I’m delivering with serenity birth center but if I need to transfer they are taking me to UMC

I gave birth at Summerlin and I can’t give a single complaint. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful.

gave birth at sunrise and everyone was phenomenal . 🥹
im actually at summerlin right now with my little in picu and no complaints every nurse is so caring and you can tell they care which is such a breath of fresh air . 🥲

My bestie just gave birth at sunrise they treated her so well

I had a great stay at mountainview. Like really great. I was really overwhelmed since hes my first baby and the nurses was beyond helpful snd great for me. They even let me get a hour of sleep snd had him in the nursery. A few of them i talked to about how overwhelmed i was and they wanted me to stay a extra day to make sure i was okay but my bf desperately wanted to leave but they were really really great the 3 days i stayed there. Its just annoying having to get checked up on every 30 mins from gettin vitals taken and other things but its expected

Saint rose Dominican sienna hospital in Henderson !

Woah, these responses are very helpful.

St rose is great just had my daughter in August and she was preemie now she is fully up to development and thriving

Had my babygirl at Summerlin Hospital , not by choice but because Southern hills (my initial choice) had no beds 🤔🤔. I unfortunately felt neglected for several reasons but I’m grateful my baby and I are well. After labour however , all the nurses were extremely helpful and kind.

My son almost died because of the negligence of the nurses at henderson hospital I avoid them like they are the plague now.

Mountain View was amazing!

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

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back
