Has any mom's given birth in a birthing center rather than a hospital, if so I would like to know EVERYTHING ! I'm a second time mom and have my meet and greet with a birth center in my neighborhood and just would like to know what to expect through this process .
@katyejordyn am I and baby required to still visit a hospital after the birth ? We're the able to help with managing the pain? Crap so many questions . Sorry have pregnancy brain n everything I was think to ask has left my thought cycle .
Me!!! 🙋🏻♀️ I loved everything about it. I know you said you want to know everything, but is there anything in particular?
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
This may be the stupidest thing ever but i hope my daughter is born on a date I actually like 😂😂😂 like if she was born on the 11th i would be like eww 😒 but if she was born on the 15th i would be fine with that lol so stupid i know 😐
anyone know a good pregnancy tracker app? (:
I have baby center but I don't really like it.
I don't know how many times I've seen this on here but I would really like to make it clear that it takes about 5 or more weeks of being pregnant before you actually know you're pregnant...
Hey preggies! This is like a super nerd alert but I've found an equation developed and validated by researchers/OBs/mathematicians out of Duke Medical Center that predicts birth weight. Out of 87% of births, weight was predicted within 15% of actual birth weight- nearly the same accuracy as birth weight predicted via ultrasound. I just did the equation and if I had Baby D now, she'd weigh 6.46lbs!
@dom.mom.of.2, No, you do not have to go to a hospital after birth. After my girl was born, we were home within 6 hours! After giving birth, they kept me to make sure I was okay and baby was eating and such and then we were off! The pain was intense, I’m not going to lie. Opting out of the epidural is a big decision, but I’m glad I did. I labored in the pool and in the shower and walked the halls and so many other things. My midwives were insanely helpful, as was my boyfriend. My Birthing Center was like a little home where I had my own room and everything was dark and calm with candles and music. I can’t imagine being in labor under bright lights in a hospital bed 🙈
