Sweet smelling discharge

Hey everyone. I am coming up to 36 weeks and the last few days have noticed that my knickers are often damp and have a sweet smell. I have been getting quite a bit of discharge regularly for a few weeks but have noticed the change in smell the last few days. Previously there was not really an odour. Having googled... Apparently amniotic fluid has a sweet smell. I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this? I am wondering if my waters are slowly leaking and whether I should call triage?! Thank you in advance! X

I’ve suffered with discharge awful my whole pregnancy to the point I wear panty liners! If you’re really worried I’d recommend calling your midwife but I have had the exact same x

Iv had a swab this morning as I'm same. No other symptoms of thrush but good to get rid if it is before birth...

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
