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!

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

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

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
