Planning ahead- where do you put a bigger baby safely? And do they always nap upstairs?

After 7 hours I had only got 1cm further and tbh could take no more of it so asked for a section. Just curious as to how long I would have been left in labour?

I realise these might be hospital dependent but anyway…

Are there sinks in each cubicle or a communal sink? (esp for warm water for nappy changes).

Is it the same for bins? again, for nappies specifically but also snack wrappers etc.

Are showers and toilets generally separate? Do the staff organise ‘turns’ for showers or do you just go in if it’s free?

The saying ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ has never applied to me 🤣

FTM, 38 weeks. Yesterday I felt a huge wiggle and this morning there’s a knee/ foot(?)/ pointy body part far over into my left. They were head down last week when I saw the midwife, how far can they move?

The very top of my bump seems to tighten from the inside but baby’s feet are definitely poking up there- are they like pressing down hard or is it Braxton Hicks/ contractions? 36 nearly 37 weeks and analysing every twinge!

My ferritin is 11 (36 weeks- midwife did say this should have been picked up much earlier). I've been put on tablets but not sure how much of an impact they can reasonably have at this point.

I should have asked midwife but I got distracted!
