Go into labor and delivery to get checked. They can do a strip test to see if It’s amniotic fluid or not

If you suspect your water broke, go in and get tested.. they'll be able to know for sure, and help Kickstart labor if it did break

I’m here at the ER waiting to be seen it due date was the 22nd! I’m so not ready I feel like my first child ever

If you're wearing a liner and don't see any color or smell contact L&D or go into L&D and they'll do a rupture test. It could be that baby has lowered, putting so much preasure on your bladder and with the relaxin hormone it's causing a release of urine without the sensation of peeing

No smell just clear and just waiting on the test

What age was your baby when you first left them overnight?

(Don’t judge I feel like this is giving bad mum enough🫣😂)

It’s my partner’s mums birthday coming up and my baby is seven weeks old I feel on edge leaving him as it is and all I read is people not being able to leave there baby till they’re over 2 months, is it bad if I do go for the night and leave him with a family member ? And is it bad that I’m even considering going 🥲🥲

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

Waters breaking vs watery discharge

How could people tell the difference between watery discharge and their waters breaking?

20w Anatomy Scan

I had my 20w anatomy scan on Friday and although they said everything looked well, I was told that baby girl is measuring on the lower centile and they booked us in for another growth scan in about 2 weeks which has got me worried as a first time mum. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and everything turned out okay?

Kayla, are you alive girl?

I realized Kayla was such a popular name when I was growing up there would be like 3 Kayla's in one class. Sadly I have not run into any Kayla's as an adult. Where y'all at?

Induced by having waters broken

I’m about to be induced this week with my third (also third induction but first took pessary and drip, second only took pessary). They plan to just break my waters.

I’d love to know how long your labours were when they induced by breaking waters.
