That doesnt seem right to me hun?! That sounded like your waters had gone! xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hmmm doesn't seem right to me either Hun, did you say that you soaked a pad? I don't understand why they don't believe it was your waters. How are you feeling now Hun?

 

[cupcake1981]

I soaked 2 pads. My MW believed me, she said it might have stopped now cos baby has moved back down since I got up and is like a cork.

Humph.

 

[baileybubs]

Well any other signs at all and you call the maternity ward Hun. I would also make sure you tell the MW on Friday about all this coz it doesn't sound right that they are ignoring what you said about the waters. Will it be the same MW you had this morning?

 

[cupcake1981]

No I've seen the same MW for all my appointments but Friday ill see the one running the drop in clinic.

I know I'm a bit worried tbh about an infection getting to the baby. Just hope maybe I have more waters so I can go back.

Feeling like its all going a bit dodgy now

 

[baileybubs]

Is there no way you can phone your MW then who you saw this morning? Explain that noone at the hospital believed it was your waters that had been leaking.

What do you mean dodgy Hun? Don't worry it will all be ok, just annoy the hell out of the mat ward and keep phoning. Maybe ring there again tomorrow and explain that you are almost 100% positive it was your waters and you are worried about infection and feel like noone believed you. Say you want to put a complaint in they'll soon change their minds Hun. Are you still wearing a pad?

 

[baileybubs]

Is your mum or your dh good at complaining? Get one of them to phone the hospital and complain saying you are distraught or something and extremely worried after 2 previous mc's that you feel like you were dismissed when you told them your waters had been leaking.

 

[cupcake1981]

Well I've done some more googling and it might have been a cervical 'weep'. But I'm lying here on my side to try and get it to happen again and I feel like I'm leaking again!

I had to call my MW to make an appointment for Friday and she did believe me, but then she said hind waters can go days before anything happens anyway, so didnt seem too fussed about the 48 hour thing?!

 

[baileybubs]

Oh right, how strange? I mean how can they tell its hind waters and not the other waters if you know what I mean? If you are leaking again make sure you get a pad full and time how long it's taken to fill, then ring the maternity unit and tell them. If they get you to go back you can show them the pad.

And if you are leaking again that's still gotta be a good sign things are moving? I know I always say don't consult dr google but what info have you managed to get from it about hind waters breaking?

 

[MrsDuck]

Are you having any more contractions?

That doesn't seem right, 2 pads and a little puddle doesn't sound like discharge to me.

Don't panic hun I'm sure everything will be fine xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

I'm leaking again, or it's this thin watery discharge that's sometimes known as a cervical weep? Either way apparently labour can kick off within 48 hours so ill do more bouncing tonight and maybe ill make some progress?

 

[cupcake1981]

Sorry for the selfish posts, just wish I knew what was bloody going on!

 

[MrsDuck]

Don't be mad cupcake, certainly not selfish, you are in labour woman xxxxxx

 

[baileybubs]

Don't be daft Hun we want you to keep us updated!! You know how we would worry if you didn't!!

And yeah keep bouncing and fingers crossed something will happen and those contractions will kick start Hun!

 

[MrsDuck]

Good idea, keep bouncing and definitely keep us posted

 

[cupcake1981]

I will keep you as posted as I can if something happens. The signal at the hospital is terrible in places! Reckon I will wake up in a soaking bed tonight!

Ive been getting tightenings this afternoon but they seem to have tailed off now.

Feel like a bloody ticking time bomb now!!

 

[cupcake1981]

It's prompted hubby to put the car seat base in the car if nothing else!

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, made him realise that all those times you've said that lbcc could come any time now you weren't joking lol!

Actually I had to go to hospital fr monitoring at 38 weeks too and it was like my df finally realised that we were actually having a baby haha!

 

[SATH]

OMG OMG OMG ive been at work missing it all. Cupcake its started how exciting i reckon you might wake in the night to a pop and a puddle. Who knows maybe he wants to arrive on your birthday. Im so excited yipeee.

Got stinking cold and cant stop coughing boo. Also started ewcm wth its day 11 no chance of bding tonight aint gonna happen.

 

[cupcake1981]
