Gifts for staff at Southmead

Hi

I’d like to give the maternity team at Southmead a little gift (biscuits etc) to say thanks

Has anyone else done this and how did you give it to them? Did you drop it to the hospital or post?

Thanks

My sister did it about a year ago she taken it in with her and before she left she gave it to them at the front desk with a card to say thank you x

I did it 5 years ago with my daughter but can’t remember how 😆 I may have asked hubby to bring it all in before discharge!

I was never that organised so I don’t get them anything till after I was discharged.
I dropped it off at CDS reception specifically for them and a personal card to my 2 midwives.

Induction?

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

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
