Anti-d mommas

Did you have the anti d injection before and after birth? Just asking as I’m rhesus negative so I had the injection during pregnancy but didn’t have it when my little one was born does anyone have any similar experiences?

Do you mean you weren’t offered it after giving birth? If so, you definitely should have been! I declined the one during pregnancy but had the one after birth.

If you mean you’re debating whether to have it then read Sara Wickhams book - Anti D Explained. It’s fantastic for breaking it all down.

I had it during with my daughter at 12 weeks but I wasn’t offered/given after birthing her and I’ve unfortunately lost a baby due to multiple complications at 14 weeks was just wondering if the missed anti d injection could have played a part in this

If baby is rhesus neg you don’t need it after giving birth

Scheduled c-section

Evening everyone! I’m really considering a scheduled section
I don’t want any criticism, how ‘labour is natural’ etc.
I had an emergency c section in July 2021. My waters broke at 12am and 19 hours later they delivered my son, I know labour is hard, especially your first, but what I endured in them 19 hours was SO scary, I was having panic attacks in the birthing pool from the pain, NOTHING worked (codeine, g&a, pethidine) it was so scary, me and my baby got so poorly because it was left too long. It was genuinely such a traumatic birth, once I got that needle in my back ready for my section, it was the best thing ever
I know recovery is difficult, but I’d like to go in, have my baby and go home, as I have a second one at home, not being exhausted from labour
What is everyone’s experience? Especially for mums who have kids at home? Not gonna lie the only thing putting me off is the social pressure 🤣 thanks :)

Is it normal for pre-school applications to require your marriage license (only if you weren't married at the time your child was born or if you have different last names)?

This is my first time enrolling my child and it felt like a weird requirement but maybe that's normal? They will already be receiving their birth certificate that has both parents' signatures. A marriage license isn't requirement for parents who were married before birth or for parents with the same last name, that's the part that makes me feel odd about it.
