23 weeks and excessive colestrum…?

I am currently 23 weeks. I have been leaking colestrum since about 19 weeks. But now it’s getting excessive. Actual droplets will drip off my Breasts. I leave wet spots on everything, especially overnight in bed. I’ll wake up to huge wet spots.

I just want to know if this is normal? I also feel like it’s such a waste 😂 but obviously can’t collect now.

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Is anyone super sweaty down there?

I am around 21 weeks now, doing shopping today and was genuinely panicking my waters had leaked. Rang the local antenatal assessment and was suggested to change, pad up and monitor for an hour and go in to be checked if necessary. Been monitoring with toilet paper wads (as I didn't have maternity pads this early on!) and regular checking and luckily I think everything is okay... But seriously, was it just sweat??! Has anyone else experienced this?

Together or Separate 1st birthday

So I recently left my now ex partner and we’ve got a 10 month old… I’m just curious is it better to do one party or two separate ones? 🫠🫠 it’s still fresh but we are obviously having to communicate still- but we are hoping to remain friends in a way lol I’m just not sure which is smarter to do

Group B Strep positive labor and baby

Hi,
First time mom to be here, currently around 37 weeks.
Can anyone please share their experience of labor and how was the baby health in the first weeks, months when tested positive for GBS and receiving antibiotics during labor?
I was blessed to not have any serious complications during whole pregnancy and was really looking forward to unmedicated easy-ish birth hopefully and healthy baby but now is concerned about me being able to stay mobile during labor and having side effects for antibiotics, and for baby to have microbiome negative affects due to antibiotics taken..
Any insights or experience would be helpful.
