Second baby and spontaneous labour
I’m pregnant with second and had induction with first. I’m terrified that I won’t make it to the hospital in time as I literally have no idea what to expect. If anybody has any experiences going into labour naturally and advice for when I should go to hospital I’d really appreciate it!

I went in to spontaneous labour over night it woke me up and initially I ignored it 🤣 I started feeling cramps around 11:15 PM I contacted the hospital around 2am and went into hospital at 6am I stalled at 4cm dilated (my midwife was a community midwife who came to my home to check) at no point was I worried I was having my LO at home as my contractions were at the appropriate interval! My partner timed my contractions and that’s what got me to decide to go in! I had my baby at 10am with a water birth!

Getting the most out of your midwife appointments
Hi all, I just wanted to sense check I am getting the most out of my midwife appointment. Currently 31 weeks with my first baby, so it could be my own misconceptions about what actually happens at these appointments. But I feel overall very clueless, my appointments feel the same urine/blood test, hear thr heartbeat, do you feel safe at home, see you next time.
I thought we would have more discussions about things I should be knowing like vitamins, top tips, feeding/birthing plans, dos and donts etc. Everything I have learnt is from Google (not always the most trusted source). Happy to hear your experiences or if I have just built in image up in my head which isn't realistic!

Birthday vent 🙄
It’s my birthday today ! 🥺🎂 and honestly, I’m feeling a little sad. I don’t really have anybody to hang out with, and I don’t have the money to go do anything, so it just feels like another regular day. I’m grateful to be here, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. Just venting today.
