Can’t wait to give birth

So over being pregnant 😭 I’m 1cm dilated as of last week, tomorrow I’m 38 weeks and ever since I thought I was going into labor tomorrow I’ve had no appetite, nausea, cramping every day/lightning crotch and superrrrr exhausted like never before. I feel like my body is getting ready for labor but I really don’t wanna go through this for another 2 weeks 😭 I feel like my whole pregnancy I never experienced Braxton hicks “tightening” other than what has felt like my entire stomach feeling a strong cramp/period cramp feelings/my lower back cramping bad. I can’t wait to have my baby and start feeling like myself again

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow too!! Last time I went in I was 1.5 cm dilated. I feel ya! I’m feeling so tired. I’m up every hour at the night. I have this feeling my body is ready and preparing for labor but I also don’t want to get my hopes up because I could have another 2 weeks. Getting my membranes sweeped tomorrow!! Hopefully it gets things moving along

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
