1 and only birth and I give it a 9/10! I only dont give it a 10/10 because of MY personal care team at women’s health center. but sentara took such great care of me, great food options, I slept through my baby crying the first night and the nurses let my husband and I sleep and they took care of our baby.. I did do the shower but wasn’t allowed to do bath because of high risk.. but everything went smoothly because of them.. even tho nothing went according to my personal plan.. I live in hawaii now, but I would come back home to sentara leigh, to have another baby.

8/10. They’re great. From labor to postpartum. I felt heard, cared, and seen. Only thing I didn’t like was the lactation consultant but that’s it

I gave birth at Sentara Leigh, and I’d honestly give it a 10/10. I was going through a divorce and becoming a single mom and they did everything to make me feel cared for and special because I was so nervous to give birth alone until my mom came states away for me. They were so validating and absolutely patient with me during such a hard time. Respected my birth plan and directives legally. I definitely plan to go back to them when time is right for another little one. My birth there was honestly flawless and one of the best memories of my life. I’m grateful for the team I had there! I only had one rude triage nurse when I was having Braxton Hicks two weeks out from my due date who judged I didn’t want to take Tylenol but fuck her 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I gave birth in July this year, and they helped me deliver a wonderful baby girl. I had a difficult labor, but they truly understand. I was nervous because it was just my husband and I, and it was different for us. I felt like I should trust them because I was a nurse in another country, and the process is very different here. But they helped me feel at ease. They truly understand you. They let me stay an extra day after giving birth, and that made coming home easier. Leaving was truly one of the hardest parts. 😊☺️

10/10 will be having baby number 3 in 5 weeks, I didn’t want for anything and the food was bomb lol

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby due

My baby is due April 22 what should I put in my hospital bag
