I had a great experience at Long Beach Memorial. Its quite a bit out your way, but my nurses were amazing

I had a great experience at Good Samaritan, downtown LA. Nurses were great. Checked on me regularly. Answered all and any questions and sent me home with so many goodies for our little one.

Long Beach Memorial is amazing. I had the most beautiful birth there and my baby and I were taken care of our entire stay. They are very adamant about sticking to your birth plan if you have one an I felt so comfortable. I had no idea what I was doing after birth and they were so helpful and so kind and sent me home with loads of stuff. Memorial also has the Welcome Baby program that provides you with a free home nurse to check on you early on in the newborn stage. I’d definitely do it all over again. They let me set up my room how I wanted—music, lights, etc. And all the nurses were so supportive and kind. It’s also a top pediatric hospital with a NICU on site so if anything happens or your baby needs a NICU it’s right there in the same place. I went because all the women in my prenatal group suggested it and I’m glad I chose them. If you want to do a birth tour just contact them and they’ll set you up for the next one. I have the direct email for the tour guide if you like just lmk.

Bad mood

Hello all,
(12w1d here)
I recently downloaded the app because my parter said it will be better for my mood.
I’m felling quite stressed, no energy to talk a part from work. I’m not calling anymore to my friends or family, I do not even have patience or energy to reply their messages. It’s makes me feel bed about it, because I’m not like that.
Has anyone been through this?
❤️ thank you

C section hole

Hi, I am 8 weeks postpartum and I noticed one week ago a hole in scar after c section. I went to GP, they say nothing major. Has any experienced this before, any recommendations as it’s not getting any better.

C section or natural birth?

Unsure what I should choose… I have weighed up all the pros and cons and still don’t know what is best for me. I’ve heard positive and negative birth stories for both but I’m so scared and not sure what I should choose.

Elective C Section

Kensington Wing, Lindo Wing or Portlands?

Is it realistic to have a 3.5 hour drive home?

Back Issues postpartum

I’m 2 weeks post partum and was just wondering if anyone else has suffered with severe back pain at this stage? I had an epidural, but the pain down my left side is wild and I don’t know if it’s normal…
