Do we have to do that? I'm at 32 weeks today and haven't even chosen my hospital yet, although I'm veering towards Canossa. Is it necessary to pre-register at the hospital of your choice or do you just show up when it's time and register at admissions there and then. I hope to have a natural birth (no scheduled induction) so that will happen when it happens. If so, doesn't that make pre-registering a moot point?
