16 weeks today💙

Found out we’re having a little boy! Also, fired my Midwife and hired a new one. Made the choice to birth at home. Was the maid of honor in my sisters wedding. And my daughter came down with whooping cough. What a week🤣🫠😮‍💨

I fired my OB and hired a new one today too. Seeing this post makes me feel better about that decision 💕 only we know what is best for our pregnancy and our baby. Sounds like you had an eventful week though! Make sure to get some rest in mama

yes! You should always feel empowered to make the switch if you’re not feeling supported or feeling something is off! It’s never too late either! I hope your new OB is a better fit for you!
Thank you! We’ve definitely had a couple days of rest which has been nice

haha🤣 HE was fired because he was being very lazy in his practice and care. He was cold but somehow still kind but extremely hands off. It’s like he was trying to provide informed choice type care without providing anyone information to make an informed choice😆
It’s hard to explain but there was just a lot that didn’t feel right and with having a home birth I want to be 100% certain that the provider I have will be attentive, invested, evidence based and preventive when necessary when it comes to my care.

How many of you had your c sections rescheduled?

So I'm choosing to have a c section this time around because I had an emergency c section after being induced last time. That was less than 2 years ago so I don't think it's a good idea to try again. I'm really nervous it's gonna be rescheduled bcs I have my sister taking time off work to help me out with the baby in the hospital since my husband will have to go home to be with our toddler at night. Also my husband starts his leave on that day so I don't want him to lose any more days. So I'm just wondering how common this is. I'm in the US in NJ

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?
