Water break/ leak??

Alrighty girls,
So since last night I have not been able to get dry in my southern regions. It’s not like discharge but it’s not like I feel like I’m peeing myself. Could my water be leaking and just not fully broke? My stomach doesn’t look like it’s dropped and I don’t have any contractions. I’m 38 weeks today.

Lie down for a while and stand up, see if you're undies are wet. For me, I only released the fluid when I was on the toilet...so I had to almost convince L&D that I had broken my water. Interestingly, during the delivery, I learned that I had only a high rupture causing the leaking.
When I was pushing, the bag of waters was intact and they then did a full rupture. Good luck!

Discharge would can be super watery! Just had this happened yesterday where I couldn’t figure out it was my water broken or discharge or pee. It ended up being my discharge! There really isn’t anyway to know unless you go in and get checked

Call and let your doc and ask or let them know. I had somewhat the same situation. I was 38 weeks and woke up leaked with no pain or contractions. Went all morning and afternoon leaking. Gave birth to my daughter same night

did you end up getting an induction at some point between water breaking and birth? Or when did you finally start to feel the contractions?

I had no interventions during birth. I started feeling contractions very mildly at noon. Contractions increased in pain when arriving at the hospital at 3:00.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.
