It might depend on which hospital you're going to. CAH is 10pm from the night before. I was told no food or drink at all. If uncertain phone your assessment unit and ask, they should know.
RVH is 10pm at night too. Good luck - I hope your test comes back with good news 🤞

Braxton hicks/prodromal labour
I'm 35+4 but throughout my pregnancy (and last) had lots of braxton hicks/tightenings and threatened preterm labour. Despite 3x positive actim partus preterm labour tests it has never come to anything, on a couple of occasions I was admitted for steroids and monitoring but it has always passed with no cervical changes or dilation.
I've been having lots of irregular tightenings and discomfort generally but yesterday was a bit more intense through the day and I timed them in the evening, carried on in a similar pattern for a few hours. It died down, I slept and today is back to 'my normal' of irregular, uncomfortable tightenings and generally feeling achy and uncomfortable.
Has anyone else had similar to this and how long did it last before you went into labour? I didn't labour with my first baby as I ended up with an elective but hoping for a VBAC this time round

Worried about stomach pouch after having kids
My tummy has always been my problem area. I’ve now got 3 under 3 kids and after the first 2 I lost the weight pretty quickly and went back to my previous weight. Now after my 3rd baby I’m 6 months postpartum and my stomach still bulges outwards under my breasts if you know what I mean so I still look pregnant. Not the lower tummy but the bit that curves out under the breasts if you know what I mean and I don’t know if this will ever go down? It’s like it’s muscle that’s used to being pregnant now!

2nd baby
Honestly mammas the 2nd pregnancy with a toddler is rough! I don’t remember this much nausea or gagging, the loss of appetite or the back pain and random cramping and oh my the tiredness! Anti sickness meds don’t help, they make me gag even more and I’m sweating 24/7. Oh what a day and I’m not even 8 weeks yet 😴

Breakouts
Has anyone else experienced their skin breaking out in early stages of pregnancy? My skin had been clear for a year or so after finding a good skincare routine (I used to struggle with breakouts) but over the last week or so has started to get bad again, I really don’t want to go backwards & hoping it doesn’t last for the whole pregnancy!! Any advice would be really welcomed 🫶🏼
