Cord blood and placenta banking at Chelsea and Westminster

I’m thinking of doing cord blood and placenta banking. They don’t provide this service but I could bring in an external provider like cells4life. Wondering if anyone had any experience with it and how was it?

Perosnallly I don’t but when I was being induced the lady next to me was having induction also.
She was openly speaking and organising a pick up with an outside company. She was coordinating between them and midwife and the staff seemed really lovely and accommodating, happy to help her 😊
It does come down to the mam to be, to do the organising with ppl just, at least from what I heard and saw

that’s useful to know. Thanks.

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?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
