I’m 37w6d, first timer, and am wondering which “signal” will send me to the hospital (consistent contractions, or water breaking?)... and I’m hoping I can shower and shave before heading to the hospital 😅. I know it sounds vain or whatever but I really want to wash up one last time at home right before we gotta run out.

Did you go to the hospital due to consistent contractions you were timing, or because your water broke suddenly? And did you have time to take a shower if you’d wanted to?
