For the past few weeks I’ve had quite strong braxton hicks, but I’ve put it down to probably doing too much at the time. Midwife appointment last week said baby’s head is engaged, which would explain why I feel so much pressure in my pelvis a lot and last night I woke up to use the toilet and my knickers were wet, but not soaking. It wasn’t like typical discharge, it’s only a little bit each time, it was more like urine but it’s happened a few times since and I don’t think I’m weeing myself 😬 I’m hesitant to go into PAU just in case it’s the fact I’ve became incontinent so just wondering what other people’s thoughts are and how I could test if it is a leak of the waters or if it is urine? I need to do school run anyways so if I did need to go into PAU then I’ll need to wait until after that anyways… not my first baby btw :)

I would go to triage asap! That could be your waters breaking. Please go test ❤️

Always worth just going in. It could be nothing or it could be your waters leaking. You need to go get checked out just to make sure ☺️

Get checked at the hospital, they can test if its waters or not. I had that at 34 weeks

I think go to MAU just to be sure 😘

I would absolutely go in to get checked! If your question is how to test if it's your waters, as far as I know it's only by the smell? Which you likely couldn't tell by yourself. It's also worth putting on a pad or liner to catch the fluid. In case there's any blood, green, etc.
Hiya ladies
So my due date is 28th September this is my second baby (my first was a c section but I still experienced contractions and water breaking as she came a week early at 39 weeks -baby was still breech)
Now with this pregnancy it has been completely different thankfully baby is head down - now ive been experiencing a lot of back pain and pelvic girdle pain since 32 weeks however for the past week (I’m now 37 weeks) I’ve been having diarrhoea, insomnia, nausea and back pain with my stomach going hard sometimes and lighting crotch
I’m a bit worried as I’m high risk and have been told to come in as soon as there are any signs of Labour however apart from getting all these symptoms I still haven’t lost my mucus plug
Any advice ?
Also to mention with my first I didn’t realise I was having contractions till I got to hospital 5 hours later and them checking I’m already 5cm

I sleep with the fan directly in my face. I know it’s not good to do it can make your mouth and nose dry. But, I do it anyway. My husband hates the fan on him. I can’t sleep without it I love the sound too. He will sometimes sleep on the other end of the bed lol.

Whether is baby staying home with your partner or first date night, what was your timeline?

20 week scan. I’m so confused! Boy or girl? Hubby didn’t wana know and was with me in the scan today & he doesn’t want to know gender so they didn’t say. Any idea? They look so super diff to my son’s potty!

Found out on the 1st of September with a clear blue digital which said 1-2 weeks. Today, my lines are looking lighter and again the digital said 1-2 weeks, which suggest my HCG isn’t rising as it should be😕 this will be my third loss in a row since July😪
I had a positive feeling about this one as the lines were much darker but now, they seem to be fading. I’m not coping😭 why is my body failing me? I don’t understand. I’ve not had any bleeding yet, do I have the right to be upset?
