I was admitted at 28+3 with 5 contractions in 10 minutes from 1:30pm-4:05am, given a FfN which came back negative at 1 in 50/2% and cervix still closed and supposedly diagnosed with a UTI with protein+++ in urine. If L&D suites weren't full they would have given me steroid shots. 11am I was back on the monitor and contractions were every 3 minutes and they asked if I wish to be discharged as I had DD at home and OH was missing work, I took on that offer - was then told to only come back if my waters broke or lost any blood.
That night I was super uncomfortable in bed with backache along with the following morning and entire day. Last night I was feeling pretty unwell, not eating and felt like I needed to pass diarrhoea but wind came instead and I felt wet. Went to the toilet and there was a 2.5" long wet patch, didn't smell like urine, no smell at all. Put on a pad and at 4:30am I felt damp but half asleep to check. This morning I found yellowish colour areas which I wrapped and took to MW appointment but she palmed it off and classed it as normal because I didn't "gush" - didn't even want to see it!! But given me an all clear with the urine, so no UTI. With todays pad, I felt a few "excretions" as I was out shopping so I checked my pad and it had brown and yellow patches. Smells REALLY sweet.
