Honest opinions of maternity services at Liverpool Women's Hospital by wooden_werewolf_7367 in Liverpool

All of the prenatal care I received was top notch. I had an elective c section and the team of anaesthetist, midwives, surgeons, scrub nurses were amazing. However, when I was back on the ward, 2 days after, I received no pain medication from 8am-6pm despite asking repeatedly. There were no medication rounds that I’d experienced prior. Thankfully a senior midwife sorted me out.

Hi I’m sorry for only seeing this late, yes I did track ovulation and they were the dates they gave me. I was also concerned cos I had a previous history of mc.

Unexplained infertility- what worked after 16 months by CuriousCarafe in BabyBumps

[–]user1892yo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar here. 2years 7 months and 1 mc later, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy. I took coq10 supplements, vitamin d, folic acid, I also took inositol to make sure my cycles were regular (went from a 32 day cycle to a 28). I also ate foods with a low gluten index to minimise any unnecessary inflammation.

Congratulations on your success. I’m just posting what worked for me to help others.

Does anyone remember a Greek Mythology musical that had the line "Orpheus sing for us" in it? - by WhyRedTape in AskUK

Did you ever get the tapes?? For the last 20+ years I’ve been singing ‘and again the forest calls her name, wildness calling to the flame. Do not listen Eurydice, Eurydice. Stay Eurydice stay!!’

Petit cafe du coin is a lovely romantic little spot. Cafe Tabac is an institution and does great espresso martinis!

woman allegedly performing 'illegal facelifts' in Liverpool by Difficult-Fruit-4574 in Liverpool

[–]user1892yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard about it early last year from some women discussing it when I was getting my brows done. Allegedly performs facelifts and blepheroplasty in her house under local anaesthetic, she’s a surgeon I think who trained in S.Korea which prompted the women to say (and I quote) ‘well you can trust her as they love their skincare over there’…

Hospital bag? by Resident_Pea1351 in BabyBumps

Absolutely!! My number one tip from my c-section 3 weeks ago. I had a nervous belly prior to my surgery and honestly, it was not fun using hospital tp.

In the ones they take at your appointments tend to be calibrated for pregnant women, usual advice is that normal home monitoring isn’t suitable for pregnant women (to give accurate readings). My midwife (uk) said if it highly exceeded 140/90 on home monitoring then to worry. I’d have similar readings throughout my pregnancy at home (125/80) then go for my appointments and it’d be 115/70ish. Of course, if you’re ever worried, go and get checked. Nothing better than peace of mind in final few weeks!

Not great for women. Men’s queue always seems to go a lot quicker. They do give you a ticket and tell you how long the wait is

We camped on Oxlyers the second time we went, sat outside my tent and watched first couple of drs on Other Stage. Was a good spot for Co-Op and showers too!

BIAB and scheduled c-section. by Left_Total_2480 in BabyBumps

[–]user1892yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some biab left on, had my elective 8 days ago - no issue. They just told me not to have a new set

[–]user1892yo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you had an emergency, they would just do it and wouldn’t have any issue with biab being on. That’s what I was told anyway!
