My head is spinning. Anyway, my husband and I arrived in the city where we were sent to give birth — my due date is Saturday. This will be my third labor and delivery. There are no symptoms. We rented an apartment nearby. I'm worried about one thing: that I might seem irresponsible for not going in for a CTG and ultrasound there. At 35 weeks, the baby's weight was about 3100 g. Movements haven't changed; everything's normal. I last had a CTG on the 31st. We're thinking of extending the lease until Monday and checking in on Monday — at 40 weeks plus 2–3 days — or checking in on Friday, but there won't be any procedures over the weekend. The apartment is only 500 meters from the hospital. So what's the best option: check in tomorrow and stay, or wait until Monday? Everything's fine, with no signs; the due date hasn't arrived yet, and there won't be any induction for now.
An epidural. Was it used? Would you have used one? How long after a cesarean delivery did you start having sex? And what contraception did you choose?

Please lie down tomorrow.

I wouldn't rush to the hospital. If it's full there, there’s a chance they’ll start induction even on weekends.
You still have some time left in your pregnancy to walk around a bit. Your CTG looks good. Well, that's just me—I'm always in favor of longer gestation (my first daughter was born prematurely, and now I have a bit of a fixation on it) and, ideally, as little stimulation as possible.

Thursday I reached 40 weeks of pregnancy.
I went to the OB-GYN clinic on Friday for a referral; they told me to be admitted to the maternity hospital on Monday.
There are no doctors available over the weekend.
