Parking at RBWH when rushing in labour

Mummas who delivered at RBWH, where did u/ur partner/support person park when u were rushed into labour? I've heard parking is ridiculously expensive and ofc I have no idea what to expect during birth so just want to be mentally prepared

It is expensive but parking can only really cost up to about $50 for the whole day and worth parking nice and close, I was lucky it was late ish at night so we had a lot more parking spaces free and I walked from the parking to the entrance. Best thing is to try stay calm with it, and if you're too far into labour try calling ahead and someone can meet you at the entrance of the hospital

My student midwife said if needed print out a piece of paper before hand saying something like 'in labour -be back soon' so if your person needs to drop you off they can park in the drop off zone out the front, walk you in and when you're settled with your support team they can move the car to an actual car park. Your person may need to walk a little bit if you want to avoid the fees and park in the surrounding streets or the car park just down the road from the hospital. Hope this helps 😊

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!

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
