New here

[amandasemele]

While I am new here, I have been on the Mothering site awhile. I have had 3 sections all for stupid reasons, one homebirth and I am training to be a midwife.
That having been said, there is a good possiblity that baby 5 is growing right now! I have been really interested in UC for awhile. So I am pretty sure our next will be UC. My husband is totally supportive, just wondering what things you would want to know if you had a group of knowledgeable people to ask like I do? Any things you wish you would have known?

For sure more about post-natal care for myself. I had no idea that I wouldn't be sitting for a few weeks. Although it seems many medical professionals fall short in this area of care also. There isn't a lot of attention given to he pp recovery period.

Specific strategy's for managing the all the possible problems in the third stage. God I would love to make a flowchart or something.

And, more technical information about 2-3 trimester screening for possible issues, (screening that does not involve a ultrasound, Doppler, or blood test). Like placenta placement! I'd like to know more about that, how exactly do you know if it's wonky? The more at home screening for UP, the better able to make responsible UC choices if things are less that ideal.

And WELCOME
