Never been to the hospital at all but hoping people can share their experiences? I have the choice of here or Wigan, went to Wigan with my first but ormskirk much closer just cautious of the fact I’ve never been.

I’m due to have my little girl at ormskirk I’ve never laboured there but the nurses seem nice enough xx you’ll be fine

I have been for all my scans and checks there and everyone’s lovely it’s a easy to navigate hospital if you know where you are going as well trust me everything will be fine x

Helloo 😊! I originally had appointments at Liverpool women’s and felt like I wasn’t being given the appropriate amount of care, so I switched to ormskirk in time for my last few appointments and ready for labour because it was closer to me too and it was the best thing I did! The nurses were lovely and I felt in good safe hands the whole time. In labour they tried to make me as comfortable as possible and was just a lovely experience all together. The after care was good for me too and felt they gave some really good advice and help ❤️

I had an emergency c section in Ormskirk 3 years so and it was a dream! Other than some of the stupid covid rules that were in place the staff were fantastic.

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?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

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!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Caffeine addiction suuucks. (Coffee)

I'm off of literally everything. Don't smoke, no medicine, don't drink except VERY rare occasion, nothing. I drink a large coffee everyday (usually mcdonalds or 7 brew)... or a couple cups of coffee at home if I don't get out. Today I had neither and I was OUT FOR THE COUNT. Awful headache, no motivation, throwing up. Then I drink coffee and it's instantly better. 🙃 coffee is one hell of a drug I tell ya.

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?
