I need a 2nd opinion on this!
I am 31 weeks and 4 days, my mucus plug left 3/4 days ago i have not been feeling too well for past 5-6 days now. I have had a feeling something isnt right and something is going to happen! Now baby is all good and active and shes been normal. Last night i noticed clear and none smell liquid (thinking my waters) leaking. Any how i go and ring triage and get told to go in, get there monitor baby and shes happy. I then get told theyre going to do a swab for my waters and thrush as i have had thrush before. Dr comes and does a speculum just looks says cervix is intact and just looking im happy for you to go home. Then asked if i have a history of thrush she then just gets a swab and shuvs it in me that came back fine not thrush i then get sent home.
Something doesn’t sit right with me though. My mucus plug or what i think was left me then im leaking clear water so obviously i am thinking shit my waters have gone but dr’s talking to me like a child send me home gone through 2 sanitary towels (thick ones) in 5 hours (maximum) but apparently thats ‘normal’ because my cervix is normal. My gut feeling is saying go back but i am annoyed at how they was speaking to me. I am 21 years old and i know my body and i know something isnt feeling right at all.
What do i do because i dont want to go back and feel like i have wasted another journey as it really upset me thinking about it but i dont know what to do at all now.

If I were you, I’d ring triage again! If your gut is telling you something isn’t right then, it’s probably right. Be persistent and stick to your guns. Momma knows best, always 😘
I feel like as a first time mum they don’t always take you seriously, unfortunately 😣
They should be doing a test to see if the fluid is amniotic fluid, it’s called an amnisure.
100% agree with Lottie, they should absolutely do a swab test. I would definitely phone triage again, definitely get yourself back up there. 💜💜

C-Section Gas pain
Feel like I’m fully in the trenches with this gas pain, my stomach is so noisy and painful, I do not remember this type of pain after my first. I had my section on Friday afternoon and the last 6 hours have been horrid.
Anyone have any tips? Or just tell me it gets better🥲

Am i overreacting about how I was spoken to by the gynecology triage nurse??
So for context, I called the emergency gynecology unit about 2 days ago (alos used as the early pregnancy unit; under 8 weeks), due to ongoing bleeding & minor interchanging cramps, the first woman I spoke to was sweet enough.. she just sounded tired, told me the triage nurse would call me within the hour, it took nearly 2 hours so i was just left panicking, she FINALLY called me back at around midnight and the attitude on this woman STANK. I mean, she picked up and I felt like I could actually hear the eyeroll, I explained my symptoms, she looked through my chart, she seen I was in at around 5 weeks pregnant for a reassurance scan to check it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy and had a scan booked for the 14th to check bubbas heartbeat as it was too early to see it last time. She goes "you're bleeding?", me: "yes.", her: "any pain?", me: "a little", her: "k" (kissed her teeth), her: i can see here you have a scan on Monday?", me: "yup", her: "okay, well they're only scanning you cos they couldn't find ITS heartbeat, so if the bleeding/cramping gets any worse then don't bother going to your appointment on monday or the 23rd cos you've miscarried. Go ER tho." Me: (getting understandably upset and trying to hold back tears) "okay..", her: "k, anything else I can help you with", me: "no", her: "okay, soz luv. Ave a nice night" then hung up on me, I dont know if im over reacting because im just more sensitive at the moment from the changing hormones n stuff but that just felt extremely rude and insensitive, especially when on my notes in red at the top of the page in bold letters, it mentions ive had prior losses & a 'recent' infant loss (last year in may, Suspected SIDS but unconfirmed), there was just no emotion in how she said anything or like she even took into consideration how I'd feel hearing that?... and then to proceed to call my baby an "IT", there's plenty other terminology to use than "it". 🤦♀️🤦♀️ am I overreacting or do I have a right to be upset/annoyed??.

38 weeks on Tuesday and 1cm dilated
Hiya ladies I’ve been in hospital since around Thursday night as came in with contractions turns out I was only 1 cm but at that time I wasn’t contracting so regularly however a few hours later going into Friday morning contractions became extreme and way more regular so they kept me in since my first cervical exam they haven’t examined me so not sure where I am at now but contractions are not as intense but I still have a hard stomach hopefully I can go back home today if Labour hasn’t progressed
Any advice on what I should do and how to dilate more

Is Enid very closely associated with Wednesday?
Like would everyone think I named my baby after the character in that show? Kind of like how every Arya is giving GoT

Water breaking?
I’m only 26 weeks but felt a small pop and a little bit of gushing.
Pants are wet but not terribly soaked. I am having cramping though. I’m almost positive it’s not urine as I had went to the bathroom only 5 min prior.
How much fluid would there be if it was my water breaking?
