Waters & Movements

Yesterday I thought my waters broke but went to get checked and they done a swab and came back negative.. today I have felt very weird in myself and just an off day
Baby is still moving but they are bigger movements and less often as normal
Just paranoid incase it was my waters
No pains or contractions tho

Have you had more leakage? If it's your waters it will be constantly coming out xx

I had a similar thing on Saturday. Tested negative for amniotic fluid, I had just peed myself 🙂
I’m just monitoring movements. My OB said 6 movements within 2 hours. If anything go back to triage! I know it’s hard to trust your gut when we’re worrying about lots as the day nears.

@Ellie I don't think it will be your waters but if your unsure I'd just go back in! I had my waters broken with my last and there was alot! It was gushing out of me in parts for about an hour or 2 xx

yea with my first my back waters had gone but they popped my waters but there was no gish or anything as I don’t have lots of fluids as mainly baby.. I think I might just go in as I feel very strange today x

@Ellie yes definitely go in if your unsure. Better to be safe than sorry. Let me know how you get on and good luck xx

my pee was odourless and colourless. That’s why I thought it was my waters. They took two swabs and had my cough on a slide thing so they could look under the microscope. The swab turns a diff colour if there is fluid on it.
6 separate movements, can either be a kick or a sweeping sensation

they just done a swap for me and it’s like a pregnancy test so just need 2 lines for a positive.. that’s all they done tho.. and okay

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
