My partner and I went to a hospital tour today. It was great to get familiar with the space and ask questions about their rules and amount of visitors etc.

Did you go to your hospital tour during pregnancy? Did you find it helpful?

We are doing one today and then second in 2 weeks. There are 2 in our hospital system and we live right between the two of them. Was worried we were going to early but it's the only dates that fit our schedule

Looking forward for doing it for the first time for baby 2! COVID baby we went in absolutely blind

That looks a lot like the birthing suite where I delivered. Seeing everything ahead of time definitely helped me feel more comfortable going on, and being comfortable is important in labor

We went on a tour and took several classes at our hospital of choice. Having been there so often and knowing what to expect made me more comfortable when I went in to give birth.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
