Any advice for a person who has a history of precipitous labours

I have a history of precipitous labour and I was wondering with early stages of labour I sadly can't recognise mild cramping as contractions as I have a high pain threshold according to my doctors when discussing about my previous birth experience at a birth reflection appointment today.

The only recommendation I got given was as the system has recognised I have quick births that if in doubt I start feeling regular light cramping cramping I should just ring up triage mention of wanting to go on and get checked would be the safest option before I would start to feel more cramping and it becoming extremely painful fast.

But honestly if anyone on here has any advice or suggestions please comment below

Following because me too! Mines a bit different though. I feel it, I feel it to my core. I get back to back contractions with no break and go from 0-10cm really fast. My last midwife refused to believe my baby was coming out.

This time I’m going for a home birth, I’ve let my midwife know that the labours are fast (historically- the 3rd is usually a curveball). They’ve put it in my notes and same as you you just let them know asap.

Good luck!

Worried I didn't respond to a mom correctly when asked for a ride to a party we were not invited to

I have autism and social interactions are hard for me. I do not have a poker face when I am disappointed, feel left out ect. This morning I took my twins who are 5 to school like always. I do not know the other parents beyond morning greetings although I'd like to. Another Mom asked me if I'd be able to pick her up and take them to the end of year class party on June 26. I have a mini van so I'm a good person to ask. I realized then that my children who have disabilities were excluded from this class party because we have not recieved an invite. this other mom was assuming we were going because everyone was invited. I tried so hard to hide my disappointment but I failed and said I would be willing to give her a ride anytime but we were not invited so she should ask someone else. She said the invites came out two weeks ago. Did I do ok? I'm feeling unsure now and will overthink it all day

Do you like driving when it’s dark?

When I was much younger, I loved late night drives. But as I’ve gotten older, I can barely see lol that 20/20 bison suddenly left me lol and I just hate driving at night now. Now, I just let my man do all the driving 😂.

Do yall feel the same or you love driving at night?

C Section Advice

Hi! Our baby is breech, and we just tried an ECV which was unsuccessful at 37 weeks. Our c section is scheduled for June 25. Moms who have had c sections- how can I prepare? Should I get a binder for afterwards? Any tips on how to best care for myself and baby would be so appreciated!
