A&E

I think I've broken a toe and really think it needs checked. My issue is the hospital is about 15miles away and I don't want to be told I can't drive, I have no one around that can look after my little one while I go and I don't know how it works in A&E if you have a baby.

Has any one had a similar experience or can advise? I know if I call 111 they will tell me to go to A&E. My and my little one got back from our holiday late Friday after a ling day travelling followed by a long car journey today so I really want to avoid having her stuck in her pram while at the hospital

Unless its severely broken, like really badly, they won't do anything for it anyway, other than strap it to the next toe along so i wouldn't waste your time in a&e

Yeah I did think that but I'm pretty sure I heard it break a couple times and I'm struggling to stand. Don't even think I could take any strong painkillers either cause I'm still BF

Or ring 111 and they can book you an appointment to see someone instead of waiting in a&e

Ahh yeah, I forgot they can do that! Thank you x

I hope you did what Alexis advised. How did it go, update us? 🌺

I haven't yet, it seems to have eased off a lot today so in gonna see how I get on

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
