Newborn

My friends baby is now 2 weeks and mine is now 3 months. When is it okay for me to visit her and bring my baby with me? Or does that matter?

3rd degree tear…what to do now?

I had a 3rd degree tear with 6 litres of blood loss with my first. I have fully recovered. I’m pregnant with my second and terrified to give birth at my nearest hospital as the care has been atrocious. My neighbour knows someone who died last month giving birth there. I’m being told NOT to have a home birth but I’m sh** scared to give birth at this hospital. Anyone had a third degree tear then had a home birth?

Positive back-to-back (occipito-posterior) stories

Ladies, I need to hear your positive stories please. Today is my due date and I've just had a scan and been told that baby is in a back-to-back position.

I have tried to look for positive birth stories but all I can find are horror ones about how bad the pain is!

My first baby was a lengthy 5 day induction followed by sepsis and an emergency section which took my body so long to recover from.

I feel a bit wounded that I don't think I will have a positive story to reflect back on.

I have been scheduled for a c section on Monday if baby isn't already here, but I'm now considering pulling it forward.

Please let me know your thoughts 💕

Baby boy is here!!

He is 7lbs 3 ounces! I was due July 5th and he came today July 8th at 6:45 am 🥰

Birthing options

Hi I was wondering if I could get some advice on what birthing option to go for
I’m wanting to know as much as possible on a vaginal birth and a c section, so I can make a informed decision
I faint when in pain or too hot which is why I’m undecided and obviously want to go for the safest option

First appointment available on 11w

Hi moms! Hope you all had a great 4th!

I just found out that I'm pregnant 3rd one just a few days ago.
According to my OBGYN, the soonest available apot is on my 11th week of pregnancy! I was hoping to get it scheduled on 8or9th week like normally.

I am going to call constantly to see if they have any spot sooner, but what do yall think?
11th week is too late, isn't it?!
Plus I'm having hives, I need aome medication fot that.😭😭😭

36 week scan baby still transverse 😭 anyone else??

Anyone else same position ?? Second baby and she’s transverse just like my first born but I had an ecv with him but don’t want it again. Consultants told me I won’t have a section till 39 weeks surely this is such high risk with second pregnancy and risk of pro cord lapse ???!!! And he said second baby’s often turn at 37 weeks… At my scan she went transverse to head down back to transverse so I don’t trust she will stay there so have said opt me in for section just incase but going to be 3 weeks of anxiety incase labour happens😭😭
