Re: St Thomas' Hospital policy on c-section timing

I just had my 3rd cs (first in the uk) at Thomas'. They were willing to push my c/s later but not earlier, in my experience. I was very worried about 2 of my children having the same birthday so they agreed to let me have it at 40 weeks. When I discussed earlier with the doctors, I was presented wit...

Re: Obstetrician recommendation

Hi and welcome! The NHS is organized differently, but I've found if you do a little digging you can get equivalent support. My advice is to go to the Early Pregnancy Units at either St. George's or St. Thomas' hospital. They are walk in clinics where you can get an ultrasound, betaHCG and progestero...

Re: Moving to NYC with school age children - where to live?

Westchester, New York Glen Ridge, New Jersey Stamford Connecticut Are all great, depending on where you commute in to. That seems to be the key component in deciding where.
