SOS WATER BREAKING?

So I’m 40 weeks 5 days and this morning I got up and was walking to go pee, before I could make it I looked down and noticed clear fluid dripping down and realized there was a puddle of clear on the floor. It gushed out, I then went pee and my pee was yellow so I knew I didn’t pee myself.

I just went to L&D 2 nights ago because I thought my water broke because of super wet underwear but it was nothing. I don’t want to go again for them to tell me it’s just discharge. What should I do?😅

I put a pad in and all that’s come out is more like discharge…. Been getting crampy but nothing like “it’s go time” contractions. Could have been discharge?

I think im going to just continue to monitor contractions and see what happens! Would hate to go in too early.

just fyi contractions for me my whole labor mostly just felt like mild period cramps, nothing i really paid attention to. dont make my mistake 😅😅i went in and was already 6cm LOL i think theres a good chance it was your water especially since even if your bladder control isnt the best during pregnancy you wouldnt pee yourself or nothing else would come out of you the way your water breaking would.

Call your Dr and inform them that you believe your water broke but you aren't having strong contractions yet that you will monitor at home till they get closer together just so they are aware

just try to track them though and pay attention to the crampy feelings, and good luck 😊

I went to L & D 2 nights ago to have them check for amniotic fluid because my underwear were constantly wet, it was negative and my cervix was closed…
So I’m not really sure if I just have lots of discharge or what! Laying down I have no cramps or contractions so I’m just waiting here confused 😂

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
