I had Dr West at St. Luke's. Dr. West was absolutely amazing, very informative, but great at going with what mama wants. All of the staff (nurses/doctors) i interacted with were nothing but supportive and helpful. It was an amazing experience. It wound up being the on-call doctor who actually delivered my baby, Dr. West was on an airplane heading back to Boise when I went into labor. But even the on-call doctor was amazing, I hardly even noticed that my doctor wasn't there for the birth, she was just as encouraging and supportive. My son was also in the NICU for a few days, and I had an amazing experience with the NICU staff as well. They helped make a very scary experience feel a lot less scary. They did a great job at giving me support and helping me stay positive. After my experience, I say St. Luke's 100%

I really enjoyed pre/post care with Dr. Shrum at St Luke’s downtown. She was thorough on education and very nice! I transferred to her care at 28 weeks from Treasure Valley Midwives and had an amazing experience.

Dr Bergloff at st Luke’s Meridian is SO amazing!!! He’s very sweet and makes you feel comfortable enough to ask the awkward questions

He stayed 3hrs late to deliver my son, ended up going home, and turned around 5 mins from his house for us. I would recommend him to anyone

Another note I forgot to mention about Dr. West. He went straight to the hospital after landing, even though I had already had my baby, so that he could check on me and my son.

I just have to get this out here somewhere I’m soooo sick of people getting within a few miles of class consciousness and collective liberation and then taking a hard left and scapegoating Jewish people instead, or trans people

Or black people or women or whatever group the rotating arrow of right wing scapegoats lands on next. No, candace Owen’s, Tucker Carson, Marjorie Taylor green, nick fuentes etc are not waking up they are GRIFTING. And if your anti colonialism starts and ends with Israel but you glaze people who tout the great replacement theory and the “america first” agenda that’s literally white Christian nationalism you’re not anti ethno state you’re just confused and highly gullible. Make linking all human rights and liberation the litmus test I beg of you

Is sex with your partner as hot and passionate now as it was when you first started dating?

Noob question about re-entering society

Hi, very very basic q from anxious about to be first mum. When did you feel up to going out to socialise after the baby or even just out for a coffee? How soon were you getting back into the world?
