Early labour signs
I’m 38+2 and have been experiencing some cramping and quite intense contractions. The first time it happened was at 37+5, and I honestly thought I was going into labour, so I called triage. I was advised to take some paracetamol and monitor how things went on.
It happened again recently, but this time I didn’t call. The cramps and contractions were really intense and lasted for about two hours.
Just wondering if anyone else has/had experienced anything similar?

I’m currently 36+4 and something similar happened to me recently the other day I honestly thought I was going into labour. I was having intense contractions and lots of pressure in my pelvis. Ended up only lasting about 30mins- 1 hour then stopped. I haven’t had anything like that since though. I wasn’t sure what it was 🧐
does it seem like prodromal labour?x

Kids in delivery room?
Im due in October, my 9 year old wants to be in the delivery room. I think it would be so special and of course I'd love her there. Im just curious on how to navigate, how to prep her, or if its even a good idea at all. My daughter's daddy passed in 2021, and the father of this baby unfortunately will not be making it to the birth, so it'll be my mom and best friend. And we shall see about my girl. Any advice, tips or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated 🤍

Early labour pressure ??
Has any one else experienced really bad pressure/ hemorroids, I’m 37 weeks today and had such loose bowel movements but today it’s got 10x worse I was screaming with pain. I had to run to the bathroom and it felt like the babies head was ready to come out with the pressure I was having (literally felt like ring of fire) how do I know if it’s just hemorroids or early labour pressure as I’ve been told by my midwife his head is engaged 😩😩 sooo painful.
