I had my boy at St John's all was fab, nice staff nice hospital was so quiet ha, while I. Had my last baby who's 12 weeks old today at royal the staff were incredible all went well i would say either or up to u tbh. X
i had an elective c section at royal infirmary in jan 2025 due to a high risk pregnancy and it was a really good experience, the staff in theatre were fantastic and so supportive as I was really scared of surgery. Nursing staff post op were great too
I have birth at the royal nearly 6 weeks ago! I had a good experience. I was in for 6 days. The midwives were great xx
I had both my daughters at RIE c-sections. My second experience was much better, couldn’t fault them really

Coil

Iam not too sure if I should do this incase it gives me bad side effects or messes with my hormones has anyone had this before and what was your experience like? This is my first baby and its all new to me.

Bigger baby experiences?
Today is my Estimated due date, had a scan yesterday and baby is estimated at 9lbs 11oz - worth noting they couldnt get a head measurement as baby is too low down in my pelvis.
No signs of labour as of yet, which is fine. Before I found out baby was on the bigger size (95.7 centile) I was wanting to wait for him to come naturally. Now I’m considering a sweep as my first option to give my body gentle encouragement into labour.
The hospital have been extremely pushy since 37 weeks with wanting me to be induced which I would like to avoid if possible and posing no risk to baby & I without it.
Can anyone share their experiences with birthing a baby on the larger centile?
