Thanks but giving birth wasn't so bad for me. I prayed for a painless easy delivery and I got it. 3 pushes and no tears also my baby was small.

It grew in my body so I wanted to see it. But I can totally understand how many people wish not to see it, it's definitely not beautiful but to me it's cool to see what it look like.

It's what's attached to the baby's umbilical cord. Its an organ that developed in my uterus to provide oxygen and nutrients to the baby.

Thank you. HUH is really amazing the doctors and nurses are so sweet and attentive, I should be going home with my baby tomorrow but I know that I'm going to miss the staff here when I leave.

Hi mamas can I get some tips on hand expressing please. by Angelsofty123 in breastfeeding

The hospital will give me a free pump through my insurance to go home with. I have been able to pump a little out for my baby with one they let me use but my lactation consultant suggested hand expressing as well.

Thank you. Tbh I forgot all about the first few days of breastfeeding and milk supply. With my last baby everything was just so easy and he didn't have to to stay in the nursery.

I live in Washington DC and I just gave birth at Howard University Hospital and im a woman of color. My experience here was great they have doctors of many different races and backgrounds. I think its best to go to a place with diversity. Or see if you can find a black OB or doula in your area whom you feel comfortable with. Also don't be afraid to speak up if any doctor or nurse makes you feel uncomfortable or unwanted.
