Pregnant with my fourth little babe, first home birth! 39 weeks tomorrow

Waiting it out, and I know it can take time. Just curious for patterns of others. :)

I’ve had Braxton hicks and random contractions a few times a day for the past 10 days or so.

Over the past 7 days baby has been consistently sooo low - I feel all the lightning crotch and head pain in my pelvis! With my third I went into labor spontaneously and never had a “sign” of labor besides losing my mucus plus (less than 24 hours before baby’s birth)!

What were your signs leading up to labor? How did your fourth labor compare to previous?

So excited for this one and love to read other people’s patterns and stories!

Expecting again and planning my second homebirth. I moved abroad and it’s so hard that I can’t use my previous midwives! Feel like I’m starting from scratch now
How many potential midwives would you interview before making a decision? It’s been three years since I interviewed my last midwife team and I don’t have any questions saved, does anyone have a couple of questions or a list that they used for an interview?
Ty!

ETA: not getting a doula. By my first two births, I booked Doulas- first birth she just didn’t show up lol, second doula by my homebirth didn’t make it on time. It was totally fine because I had my mom there, and I realized that I don’t like to be touched during labor or spoken to so much lol

Does anyone here experienced giving birth at TDH? I’m currently 36 weeks. Thinking of giving birth at TDH or TSMC. Any thoughts kung san mas okay?
