Water broke at 32 weeks

My water broke this evening at 32 weeks without any contractions. I’m really scared to give birth now as I didn’t prepare anything for baby or me thinking it’s too early 😣 I just hope I won’t get into labour and can keep my little girl more in my cozy tummy 🙏🏻

Water breaking can lead to infections in just a day or two. Go to your hospital and I'm sure they'll be able to help.

Phone your maternity triage asap

Go to triage ASAP. if the waters have broken you can get serious infections if left, are you sure it was your waters that broke? The last week I have wet myself twice because of baby position and it didn’t even feel like I needed to wee. Good luck 💙

Good luck - try not to worry too much!! They will do what they can to keep baby cooking a little longer!! One of my friends had her waters break early and with antibiotics and regular blood tests for infection they managed to keep baby in for a couple more weeks!! And at 32 weeks baby will be quite strong!! Hopefully someone at home can get the bits together that you need for you and baby - keep us posted and all the best xxx

A friend of mine had her waters break at 30 weeks and she was given steroids for the next 2 weeks and her little girl is gorgeous and healthy. Hopefully this is reassuring. You are in the best hands, take care and hope all goes well.

How are you getting on?? x

Sending love whilst you are away from home at a strange hospital XXX

Aww hope it all goes well for you regardless! Did you have complicated in the pregnancy so far?

Hope you are doing okay, Asma!

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

C-section

Hi ladies, how long does it take to recover from a c-section?

Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it
