Anyone else in the same boat?

I keep seeing posts/tiktoks/instagram reels saying late November babies are being born early like now early and for the last few days my braxton hicks have been terrible. I think I’m also leaking my mucus plug but not sure.

Here we go again...

First ever pregnancy the baby was too big, this pregnancy the baby is too small

Last time I got induced and did labour til we reached 10 centimetres but the baby just didn't want to come out,

(at 42 weeks I might add)

so after pushing for so long and 2 doctors later

Emergency C-section it was... On the 25th of May 2025

This time I am hoping for a vbac but they want to induce me at 38weeks this weekend

(so 17 month difference)

because the baby seems to be growing smaller than usual, placenta blah blah blah

Hopefully I can push this baby out or am I being delusional? Lol any thoughts are welcome, I'm based in UK, London

Royal Women’s or Sandringham Hospital? What do you recommend?

Hey I’m 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been going to the Royal Women’s for my appointments so far, but I have moved recently and now Sandringham is my closest hospital (only a 10 minute drive vs a 30 minute drive to the Women’s). I’m in two minds whether to transfer or not. I have a low risk pregnancy as it stands, but I just want to go to the hospital that will be the best and the best experience. My logic was Royal women may have more competent / skilled staff and can support in any scenario to keep going there. But I’ve also been given advice that Sandringham might be a calmer, more relaxed (less cattle-like) experience of a big hospital and potentially less people in a room post birth. I know being relaxed is so important to a birth experience and perhaps the shorter journey could make a big difference. I would love to hear from mothers who birthed at either regarding their experience (I also hear Sandringham recently switched management so not sure how that’s going). Also any tips on how important the 10 min vs 30 minute drive drive will be when it comes to the big day!
