How far along r u? Leaking waters requires a visit to triage especially if ur preterm which it seems u r if ur due in may. Mucus plug can fall out but leaking waters is more concerning. Please call midwife or go to triage.

Contact triage immediately! 💖

I was so sure I was leaking waters for a few weeks, but it appears I just have extremely watery discharge 😅
I ended up getting some litmus paper so I can self check, and now I’m totally certain it isn’t amniotic fluid.
Hope it’s the same for you and you have a good self flush system going on! Can be due to the rise in oestrogen.
But yes - go get checked!
I wasn’t home so it was a bit more complicated for me at the time.

Yeah everything is ok, tested negative for waters and they weren’t concerned that I have lost some mucus plug x

So either discharge or wetting myself how fun 😅😂 it is my second baby though and similar happened with my first where I leaked waters slowly (never actually went into labour myself) so it played on my mind

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
