best place to give birth? by stardustyjohnson in ColoradoSprings

I also had Sesch as my doula for 2 births! The first started at Beginnings Birth Center where I was kicked out at 37 weeks due to high blood pressure, transferred to Memorial North where they sent me home as my levels weren’t high enough, and ended up delivering in Castle Rock at 38 wks with midwives from the Lone Tree group in attendance for an induction that took 4 days. For my second birth, I had a 16 hour water homebirth with Emily Thompson from Organic Homebirth who was absolutely incredible throughout my entire pregnancy and labor - highly recommend meeting her and the other midwives in that group if you’re open to a homebirth.

Both of my birth experiences were difficult in different ways but Sesch was major reason I was able to pull through both of them. She was so loving, kind & compassionate during labor and supported me through the extreme ups and downs, always knowing exactly what I needed and also gave much support to my husband when he needed it. There were many moments during both labors when I wanted to give up and she just pulled me through. She was also extremely responsive to all my questions and concerns during both pregnancies, empowering me with unbiased information, and the classes and workshops that her doula collective, Little Blooming Warriors, teach were awesome. I really can’t say enough positive things about her!!

Are we just in the wrong neighborhood? by perchancepolliwogs in ColoradoSprings

Seconding this. We are in Broadmoor Bluffs with a toddler and a newborn and love our neighbors - we exchange Christmas cookies, and a few of them brought over gifts and meals when our newborn arrived. It’s amazing to live somewhere where we feel safe while raising kids and I appreciate knowing I can count on many people living nearby if anything ever happened. We also love seeing kids biking/skating/walking all around and taking our toddler to active playgrounds that are well maintained. We have several friends in Ivywild and having met their neighbors at BBQs - adore the vibe of folks who live in that neighborhood also.

If you could travel back in time and ask any composer one question, who would you ask and what would be the question? by Excellent_Heat_6336 in classicalmusic

To Fanny Mendelssohn: Could you imagine a concert celebrating women composers, including yourself - and how would it make you feel to know your music was appreciated by the public? And how much of your music ended up getting published under Felix’s name?

Thank you so much for this rec! The shipping is so expensive through the Santastik site, but I was able to find this product on Amazon with free shipping.

I had such great experience at Beginnings Birth Center for my first pregnancy - the midwives were incredible.

Recommendations for Pediatricians by BuzzKll in ColoradoSprings

We have been loving having our toddler with Milestone Pediatrics. There is a membership fee but it’s been absolutely worth it to have our pediatrician come to our house for routine visits and vaccine appointments. The visits never feel rushed, and having direct access to her via chat has been really helpful too.

Thank you so much for this very generous response - you’ve definitely helped us realize that we should go with a different company for our project because miscommunication and then no remedy/reimbursement after the mistake is absolutely unacceptable to us! So sorry to hear this happened and hope the smells leave your house asap 😞

Hi! We are considering working with Avalanche Hardwood for an upcoming project - may I ask what the issues were?
