I’m 35weeks and this has been me my entire pregnancy but it’s definitely getting worse recently. It’s completely normal x

Just looks like discharge to me. Discharge massively ramps up in the 3rd trimester. I've been living in tena pants and using pads since about 28/29 weeks.

Without meaning to be TMI... Smell it. If it smells like semen it's amniotic fluid. If it doesn't smell or just smells a bit like... You plus maybe a bit of wee then it's just discharge.

But always go and get checked if you're worried.

Discharge at this stage can come out in what can feel like gushes Xxx

I’ve been wearing pads for ages… I thought I was leaking.. I got checked and it was discharge /urine (urine where baby is much bigger and pushing on my bladder - I never had with my first) but they can do a quick cervical examination to confirm either way x

I went in last week with a sort of yellow watery discharge and they tested for amniotic fluid and it came back negative so if you're worried I'd go to triage it a really easy covid style test x

Honest truth about C sections

I am a first time mother having an elective c section. I’ve been told that it’s a shame I am doing an elective as thank God my baby is healthy. I need to know is a C section better than a birth? If you have had both please share your experience below !

Two parties on the same day, WWYD?

Our DS was invited to his nursery best friend's birthday party one month in advance, we immediately confirmed. The party is 2 to 4pm.

About a week later we got another party invite from some long time friends. The party is the same day but from 12 to 2pm on the opposite side of the city, so it will take a 40 minute drive to get from one to the other. This child used to be best friend but they haven't been available to meet for the last year, so I was thinking about skipping this party. However, my child keeps asking about them and it is possible for us to attend, just complicated. So thought I would go and leave early (stay for hour and a half instead of 2 hrs) and go to the other party around 10 mins late.

Is it too rude to leave the first party early? We are staying for most of it. Or is it better no just not go?

What would you do?
