Current Central NJ resident. Pregnant with my second, due in Feb 2027. My first was born in Feb 2025 - back then, options were limited and I could only find an OB practice that delivered at Cooperman Barnabas in Livingston, NJ. All of my OB appointments and the hospital itself were 45 mins - 1 hour drive away.

This time, I definitely want to see doctors and deliver closer to home. Anyone have any experience with RWJ in New Brunswick? Any info on comparison to Cooperman Barnabas in Livingston?

My first birthing experience at Cooperman Barnabas was very, VERY positive. Quick, easy, and amazing doctors. Birthing facility was great, recovery rooms sucked. My spouse and I would still prefer to be closer to home this time around, but would like to know what we’d be getting into with RWJ in New Brunswick.

Thanks !

In moderation ;)

My 15 month old went to the splash park for this first time today. While going down the slide, he hit his mouth. He didn’t bleed, was playing like normal, eating and drinking like normal, but I noticed he kept sucking his upper lip in. When I went to inspect his mouth, I noticed his inner lip is stuck between the gap of his two front teeth. I tried to pull it out but he gets agitated every time I try, and keeps moving. Will it release on its own?

On cd 13 I knew I was ovulating, and we had intercourse that night. The next day, cd14 and through until cd 17 I had sharp pain on my lower left uterus area. I went to the doctor and got an ultrasound and pelvic exam, and everything came back clear. On cd 18 I started to spot and bleed very lightly and that lasted through cd 22. Not like a period, just very light bleeding and / or spotting over the course of the 5 days.
Now on cd 23, I’m no longer bleeding and no longer in pain. Could this have been implantation related?
If not, I’m wondering if this is may be due to stress because I had to resign from a job I loved, where I worked at for nearly 5 years.
Never experienced anything like this before.
