Did my waters just break?!

Woke up feeling damp and when I stood up felt a gush of liquid come out! It soaked through my knickers and trousers and is still coming out just trickling now rather then a gush like this. Is this my waters or watery discharge?
Sorry about the photo!

Does it have a urine smell?

Sounds like it ! Give triage a call

No! Not at all smells slightly sweet if anything. Ans also I don’t know if this makes sense but when it gushed out i felt it come out my vagina rather then the feeling of weeing. Like when you get a heavy period

Yea give triage a call 😇 we have more than one waters so could be the start of leaky waters

I’m 39 + 6 so very excited things are finally moving on fingers crossed! Thank you lady’s x

That is exactly what my midwife describes when she told me how it would feel with waters breaking x

I mean looks like it’s the beginning of something!! Watch out for more! Good luck keep us updated!!! Super exciting xx

Not this is the first step only! You will break water soon. What you have is the mucous plug and is the begging 🙏 good luck 🤞

My waters looked like this when they broke kept leaking in bits throughout until I gave birth. I hadn’t gone into labour yet. I would go to triage, it may be your waters x

Mucus plug?

Same thing happened to me around 9 am. I was waiting for contractors but they never came. I leaked all day and I finally went to the hospital around 5 and they told me my water erupted. It don’t break completely until after they checked my cervix.

Definitely seems like it

mucus plug is completely different, more of a redish brownish colour more like a gooey discharge not liquidy

That's your waters x

Have you had mucus plug?

Good luck, defiantly Waters breaking, head to hospital .

oh ok! thank you for letting me know. Clearly I haven’t experienced this lol.

Sweet smelling sounds like waters breaking! Hope all goes well. Not long till you meet baby!

Been to the hospital waters had broken! But only 1cm dilated with contractions so if labour doesn’t start by mid day tomorrow iv got to be induced.
But yes I had lost my
Mucus plug too xx

Yay!! We’ll get ready to welcome your new baby. Best of luck 🩵

When my water broke i heard and felt a pop lol but yay congratulations

Has your child(ren) ever made an unauthorized purchase on one of your accounts?

I left my son to watch tv alone in my room while I switched the laundry over and not 2 minutes went by before I got a notification thanking me for a 1 year peacock subscription of $116.

Luckily Roku refunded me and I’ve since added a pin but now I know it really is that easy for kids to make quick and expensive purchase without us knowing.

Second income/side hustle.

HELP! What are you decent and genuine source of second incomes or side hustles if you have one? My maternity leave is due to end as my baby will be 6 months. Cannot afford to be on SMP or go part time. I would love to go part time and do something else as well as.

Please send over any advice! TIA xo

Diamonds

So I saw a post on another platform where someone was wondering why anyone would buy natural diamonds anymore since they have lab dimonds now and I commented

"I told my husband I want dinosaur poop diamonds not dog poop dimonds. lab dimonds could be made from anything natural dimonds are made from life on our planet billions of years ago and that to me makes them beautiful.
but there are businesses where you can send ashes of your loved ones and they will make you dimonds out of there ashes so I will be doing that with my 1st dog when he passes. my husband and I have also already decided that when we die he is going to be turned into dimonds and made into bracelets and im going to be turned into necklaces for our children. so they can always hold us close to them rather than just sitting in a jar or in the ground. might as well speed up the process. 😋
In my opinion the dimonds that you are able to choose what they are made out of are more special and valuable rather than dimonds that are most likely made of trash or rotting food."

What are your thoughts and preferences?

Quick question to corporate “working from office” moms?

Since when is it okay to request work from home at workplace? I’m currently entering 20 weeks and planning on requesting work from home. I know people usually start work from home from the 7th month but I’m planning on requesting since 5th month. Is that okay and acceptable in the corporate world?

Vitamin D

Are you all giving vitamin D for EBF babies? My little boy is 2 months old and only now I started giving it to him but I feel guilty as I was told to start at 1 month

A gift for my son 4 years in the making, 14 years to go

I started this avocado tree from a seed the week my oldest was due with the idea of gifting it to him as a birthday gift for his 18th birthday. So when he’s old enough to move out he has a mature tree that hopefully can fruit.

I’ve had it in a bottle with water and fish tank water as fertilizer from the beginning and it’s still growing new length, branches, and leaves every year.

I cannot wait to give it to him when he’s older but I’m so attached to it I’ll be sad to see it go 😂
