early labour ?
39 weeks- So this morning I woke up with wet underwear and a big wet patch on the bed with bad cramps!
went to hospital not my waters broken but very watery discharge 2cm dilated and a very thin cervix they said. Was sent home.
since then I’ve been in pain on and off all day I’m tracking contractions now they’re every 8 minutes lasting around a minute.
scared to just be sent home again if I call the hospital any advice ? anyone been in a similar situation?

Call, tell them how far apart and see what they say.
Generally they won't want you there until the pain is unbearable and contractions are close together.
I would just call them 😊 no need to be scared! They won't mind whatsoever
Sounds like early labor! Don’t be worried! Everything is going to be okay❣️

Baby dropping?
Idk if it matters but I feel like my baby has dropped a bit? My pelvis aches more and my bladder seems sensitive/like I have to go more often. So excited now! Also has anyone had a discussion with their midwife or doctor about a membrane sweep? I was curious to ask my midwife some questions about it.

Post c section healing..
I’m not sure if it’s because I went into spontaneous labour before my planned c section or what but has anyone else suffered pain wise post c section? It’s only day 4 but honestly struggling with the pinching/ jolt stabbing pain on the left side of my incision when I move around and sit down. I know it’s only day 4 but people make out c sections are ‘easy’. Also have such horrendous tailbone pain (which could be from where I was having back contractions). I just want to feel back to normal and feel this is slightly taking away the newborn experience plus my toddler has reduced play from me as I can barely function 😩

Going to an event out of town at 35 weeks
I have a friends wedding which is about a 3hr drive away. Is this cutting it too close to due date to be travelling away from hospital? I could try drive there and back in a day. Not sure what the protocol is so any advice would be great.
