Discharge

Y’all it’s not my mucus plug. This stuff is watery. It’s sooo much discharge. I’m also losing mucus but this is literally excessive. Should I call my midwife? 38+5

I would call. I mistook my labor for just a bad night and then I woke up and gave birth fifteen minutes later.

really? I’ve had contractions just not anything painful or like my normal labors. I’ve never had this happen though. Could it be amniotic fluid? I thought that was like straight liquid.

It can be normal discharge or the start of labor

They usually advice put a maternity Sanitary towel on and check it in a hour if it's really wet it's your waters trickling but discharge does usually get worse towards the end of pregnancy mine was awful 🙈

Or the other thing to try is lay down for a little while then stand up after maybe 30minutes as waters don't really leak laying down when trickling so will create a pool of waters inside then when you stand they will all come out
Hope this makes sense

makes sense. I have something I’m headed to but I’ll put a pad or something on. I have an appt today at 4:30 so I’ll wait if I can.

I had this and it turned out to be my hind waters I went in thinking it was nothing as did the midwife she tested anyway and was my hind waters xx

If it’s not your water/labor … I’d get tested for yeast or BV.

wow I have never heard of that. I’ll definitely ask today!

Avatar

did it stop and come and go or what was it like if you don’t mind me asking

Avatar

thankfully it’s not this since I’ve been tested before. Which is why it’s so weird!

I had it the night before rang and they said put a pad on and see if it continues when I woke up the pad was completely dry but had a little bit more in the afternoon, I wasn’t going to bother going but my partner made me and I’m so glad I did! I think with it just being the hind waters it was no where near the amount you get when they broke my front waters(if that’s what it’s called 😂) but I’d deffo recommend getting checked just incase! Xx

that’s good to know. I’m having contractions but they’re not real. I have prodromal labor and have for weeks so it’s soooo hard to tell what’s going on. Especially when it’s so easy to pee yourself at this point lol.

It trickles some but not gushing. I had no idea about this. I did put a little pad on to see. If anything starts getting worse I’ll call but hopefully I can just make it to my appointment and see what they say. I’ll be getting a membrane sweep so I think they’ll know at that point if somethings happening 😂

Can’t hurt to call!

Avatar

Either way I wish you luck!
Hopefully its something starting and you can have your bundle of joy soon!

Avatar

Aw bless you! Yes that’s why I was hesitant to go I thought I’d probably just peed myself a little bit 😂

Good luck anyway 🥰

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?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
