The best experience ever

oh really thats good to hear!!

I had my daughter premature and she had to spend 2 weeks in NICU. I couldn’t fault them at all, they were all attentive and made sure I was resting and recovering after my c section x

I had my daughter there in 2023 and it was the best experience ever, I had a water birth and around 4 midwives that looked after me during my time in labour, each and every one of them were so amazing and supportive I could not pick a single fault! I appreciate this isn’t everyone’s experience but honestly not a bad word to say

I had my little boy there in August, a c section again, and it was so much better than my previous birth at the women's hospital (also a section).
if I had another baby, I'd go for good hope again!
The staff were so lovely, kind and patient. honestly, miles better than my experience at bham Women's hosp.

Amazing experience with my first 2, I'm having my 3rd there too 😄

Amazing experience the 4 midwives I had were all so kind and did everything they could for me I ended up having an emergency csection they explained everything supported us all went above and beyond

Had my little girl there July 2023, ended up having an emergency c section. Midwives were lovely and get me involved in my care. I've decided to go back there to have my 2nd baby due beginning of October

Couldn’t fault Good Hope! Perfect birth

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.

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

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 😂🥲

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

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
