I'm feeling overwhelmed. I think I mostly just need to get all these thoughts out of my head. I was homeschooled from Kindergarten until I went to college. I thought this was going to be way easier. Maybe I'm expecting too...

I just had a VBA2C. I chose it mainly because I want to have the option of having more children. Every c- section you have gets riskier, and from what I've read, after the 5th section, the danger levels for rupture just being pregnant...

I would get your levels checked. I had Hyperemesis too, and lost a lot of blood during delivery (600ml) the day I left the hospital, my hemoglobin levels were below 7. They are still pretty low, but are getting better, and I'm...

My doctor wants me to repeat my GBS test because I had been on antibiotics the week before mine. Yours may want to do that, or have you wait to take the test. I'd ask them.
