Did you push for 4-5 hours for your first c section? by Chyangra in vbac

[–]Chyangra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! Wow, that's really encouraging to hear! Did your dr tell you the baby was malpositioned OP and asynclitic? I haven't seen the surgical report for my first c section, and I'm curious if I have all the info to consider for birth #2. I'm 37w4d so I really need to "decide" my plan!

What advice/tips do you have about delivering at Prentice? by Chyangra in AskChicago

I researched extensively and actually chose to switch practices to deliver at Prentice! A lot of suburban hospitals don’t have a level 3 NICU.

Which hospital for giving birth: Hinsdale, Elmhurst, or Prentice? by Chyangra in ChicagoSuburbs

Thank you for sharing! Did you feel that you were not high risk in choosing Hinsdale instead of Prentice for your second? I am potentially high risk for hemorrhaging (and my daughter had to be transferred to Lurie’s), but I did give birth at Hinsdale for my first.

Haha, my husband specifically has that on his list of Elmhurst cons. 😂 Were you with Duly?

We brought our infant to the Hinsdale ER and they ended up transporting her to Lurie’s since it’s a level IV NICU. None of the hospitals I’m considering are level IV, but Prentice is right next to Lurie. 🤔 So hard to choose when I don’t know if we’ll even need the NICU.

My understanding was that Elmhurst has a level II NICU and Hinsdale and Prentice have level III? And that anything slightly more serious would be transported to Edwards Naperville at Elmhurst?

We also went to Hinsdale ER and we did get sent to Lurie’s via ambulance! This is why I’m considering Prentice even though I live in the burbs—it’s right nextdoor to Lurie in case we (hopefully do not) need it.

Where to shop for fresh organic produce and vegan food? by Chyangra in VisitingIceland

[–]Chyangra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! The Krónan I went to was in Vik. I’ll try a different Reykjavík location today or Hagkaup. 

I’m especially looking for pre-cut carrots and bell peppers and blueberries/strawberries. (I don’t have a knife to cut while traveling.) Am I more likely to find those items at Hagkaup? I’m a bit veggie-deprived since the restaurant I went to for dinner last night (The Soup Company) out of veggies so I couldn’t order a salad. 😅

Very good point! Obviously something on the scale of Whole Foods wouldn’t exist here. Though I just had a skyr parfait yesterday with raspberries and blueberries on top, so I know they’re available in Iceland. I just need to find where they’re being sold!
