I have been having these for the last week (I'm 35+3) but I don't think labour's near

I have been having these for the last 2 days I am 35+3 too. Every time I eat I have diarrhoea like seconds after!!! So who knows lol

I wish I knew though maybe it's our bodies just getting ready. X

During my last pregnancy, diarrhoea was my biggest sign. Had it for 24 hours before my waters broke x

You do usually have a 'clear out' and feel rubbish just before D.day.

I started having these symptoms about 35 weeks and got really nervous thinking labour was coming becuase they can be signs but I’m now almost 38 weeks and I’ve have the symptoms everyday for that time😂I have no idea when labour will start but I think most of them signs are unfortunately just late pregnancy 🫠

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏

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!
