I didn't go in with my first until they said I had to be induced at 42 weeks.
My second I went in on 6/13 at 11:30pm (yup- 1 year ago today) and the on call resident doc pretty much laughed at me for saying I hadn't felt baby move all day except for one movement at 12:21pm. He doppled babies heartbeat and said that since he had a heartbeat he was fine. He sent me home. The next morning I called my OB who wanted a BPP and NST. I went on my lunch break (I work at the hospital) at 11:45am. I delivered my baby by 12:41pm by super stat emergency c-section. I was told another hour or two he would have been a stillbirth.
Moral of the story- go in as many times as you need to go in and trust your mommy instincts!

1st - zero times, went into labor at 35 weeksx stayed for 4 days, sent home for 3 hours, came back and delivered 5 hours later. Morphine, and a lot of contractions, thanks to tricare no induction.
2nd - I lost count. Kidney stones, preterm labor at 28 weeks (luckily mostly stopped with a magnesium bag, and some shots) continual contractions, and another round of kidney stones. After all of that, I was induced a day after my due date.
3rd - Twice, preterm labor again, not enough progression, light bedrest and she came 3 days early (only one to have water break naturally!)

1st and 2nd - never
3rd (twins) - once due to preterm labor at 31 weeks
The other times it was only to deliver them

1st-one time around 38/39 weeks due to what I thought was amniotic fluid but it was not
2nd- just for delivery

I had a homebirth, but I did think my water was leaking around 26 weeks ... I went to get it checked out. All was fine, and I ended up delivering at 39 weeks with no "false alarms" to the midwife beforehand.

Twice with both. I had PIH at the end of both pregnancies, and had to be monitored a couple of times.

twice. once was at 31 weeks when i had a weird pain, they monitored me for 2 hours then sent me home. the other was at 35 when i had been having false labor for 2 days and wanted some relief. after 2 hours of monitoring and listening to the woman next to me be in active labor) I demanded to go home at 4am. the next morning I had an OB appointment and was finally in active labor, and went back to the hospital at 10am to have DS.

With LO1 my water broke and that was it. With LO2 I had pre labour for weeks (timeable but mild contractions that would fade away after a few hours). There were LOTS of texts to the midwives saying "maybe, i'll let you know, never mind..." The funny thing was when it was time there was no doubt.

Thinking it was go time? When it was go time.
I did have to go to the hospital twice to meet my midwife to get Rhogam shots.

I went with my first to get my RH shot and then they "detained" me over night bc my bp was high.
None for my second, only went the day I was scheduled to be induced.

With my first I didn't have to go for any medical reasons until it was time for my induction. I did go a handful of times for classes, a tour, and to pre register.
With this pregnancy I thought I was going to end up at the hospital yesterday, but I just went to my OBs office instead. Everything was ok thankfully!

None. The only time I went to the hospital was when I was actually in labor.

Once with my last because he stopped moving. That was a Friday and my water broke the next day.
