Labor signs?

Did you notice any signs or anything before labor started?

I’m 39 weeks and a day and I’ve had the runs with everything I eat and felt a bit sick yesterday. Really hoping things kick off naturally and I don’t need to be induced. I’m a first time mom so not a clue what to expect.

I feel like I’ve been losing my mucus plug for weeks so don’t think that will be a sign unless it becomes a bit bloody.

Is it right that your waters don’t have to go first and you can just start with contractions?

Should I call triage for nausea and diarrhea?

At what point would you call triage for feeling generally unwell with nausea, diarrhea and stomach ache/cramps? If you would call them at all?

I'm 36+4 and just feel so rubbish the last few days. I'm nauseous and have had on/off diarrhea and I've got indigestion/heartburn too. It's making me completely lose my appetite and I'm not eating much. My stomach aches but I can't even tell if it's stomach ache, indigestion pain, hunger, muscular aches from general weight of the bump or aches/cramps from tightenings which I am also getting. My back aches too but I think that is probably muscular, and my bump is sometimes tender to the touch in random patches.

I don't know if I should get checked or not? I don't have any way to contact my midwife between appointments so it's call triage at the hospital or wait it out.

Elective c-sections

Hello!

My first birth ended up in an emergency c section and this time round I have opted for an elective c-section.

What is everyone packing in their hospital bags? And how did you make it easier for you whilst you were in hospital?
