Hi ladies, me again! Any help greatly appreciated - i have just posted this in my own thread too but wondered if anyone here had any advice?
I'm in the UK and as you can see from my ticker, I am 40+8. I felt unwell yesterday and during/after a long walk (about 15 hours ago) I was getting tightenings every 6 minutes. When I stopped walking though, they stopped. Then last night at about 8pm I started to get 'pains' and tightening deep inside every 4-7minutes, these became more intense with pain down the front of my thighs.
As I hadn't lost my plug or seen any sign of my waters, and because my contractions weren't regular/increasing I decided to try to get some sleep.
However, about half an hour ago I was woken to a 'leaking' sensation! I definitely didn't pee myself but my pj bottoms were soaked through with clear, non-smelly liquid. I went to the bathroom, cleaned myself up and put a pad on, but nothing more has come out.
It's now 3:10am and I'm a little crampy but again nothing intense or regular (I'm lying in bed). I don't know whether to wake my DH (as he has to get up for work in 2 hours) or ring the birth unit at the hospital? I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I am a little confused/concerned!
Any advice? Many thanks 😳
I had the same thing when I went for a sweep at 41, they said its unfavourable so they couldn't do it. My OB however said there is no point in trying again and just to go straight for induction at term + 10, which for me is tomorrow. I just hope my cervix plays ball tomorrow!
he's a whopper at 9lb 2oz (though he doesnt look it!)
