Amniotic fluid?

Last night I kept leaking like crazy. It got to the point where I had to change my bottoms because they were soaking wet. I also had a lot of discharge that looked like mucus. With my first baby I got induced and had to have my water broken so I have no idea If my water broke or not. Anyone else have this happen to them?

You should go to the hospital, are you having contractions?

My doctor said if leaking any fluid to go in, you definitely should!

That’s what happened when I was starting labor with my first. I didn’t recognize it for what it was and my water was leaking for 12 hours before it finally broke. I had also lost my mucus plug in the morning right before I started to leak. I’d definitely go to L&D and have them test to see if it is your amniotic fluid.

I was told if you soak through a pad in an hour or two then you should go in and get checked for amniotic fluid - since it sounds like you soaked through your bottoms pretty quick, I’d say definitely go to the hospital! Better to be safe 😊

I took everyone's advice and went to the hospital. Has my daughter yesterday lol

Awe I’m so happy for you!!!! Congratulations!!!!

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 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
