thoughts? my birthing center offers oral vitamin k. administered after birth and then once a week every 12 weeks. curious other opinions

they also offer preservative free vitamin k vaccine

also you can decline evening

why is this not common knowledge? why does EVERY doctor recommend this? why are most pregnant women i know on zofran? is it all just weird fear mongering or is this true? i wish doctors would just be actually honest 😩

i’m 31 weeks and keep seeing it’s time to pack a hospital bag! i assume for a birthing center i will need to bring things as well. after birth the center i’m going to sends you home after 4 hours bc they don’t offer any epidural or things like that so it’s safe to go home. i still need to bring some things though right? like comfy clothes, an outfit for baby, i bought a birthing comb, they said to bring some stuff that would make us comfy like essential oil and all that but what else do i need? any suggestions helpful!

thanks 💗💗💗

i’m having my first baby in july and was looking into the owlet sock. recently i’ve been seeing that it can produce harmful amounts of emf radiation for baby but then also i’m seeing its fine. does anyone have any experience with this? what’s your opinion?

currently 31 weeks. decided to give birth at a birthing center bc the hospital just isn’t for me. they have tubs and allow water births or you can have “land birth” aka on the bed. i’m TERRIFIED everyone keeps telling me i’m insane and how painful it’s going to be and that there’s “no reward for not having an epidural” (no shit thanks for that lol).
the birthing center only offers laughing gas for pain and tools such as birthing balls and things like that.

looking for some feedback on birthing center/home unmedicated births. am i insane? can i do this? i only know people who have given birth in a hospital so just looking for some…. something idk!

i will be taking an unmedicated birthing class with them as well before delivery.

thanks 😩💗
