I woke up around 2:30 this morning, and felt a small... gush.
Color, odorless... and well... soaked the front on my panty-liner.
But, I thought, ehh... normal discharge. Back to bed.
At 3:15, contractions had me in the bathroom, and noticed pink discharge after wiping (literally, pastel pink).
Question is, is it my water leaking? Or bloody show????
Contractions are pretty intense between 7-8 mins apart.
Thanks ladies
UPDATE:
Contractions only increased in intensity... and by 6:45 I couldn't take it anymore, as they were coming ever 3-4 mins. When I got to the hospital, I was examed, and was 6-7cm w/ bulging waters (they hadn't broken yet!).
I was shocked, to say the least. I remember being in a lot more pain at 3cm when I had my son!
Got into the delivery room, and by 8:30 was 8cm. At this point, the contractions made me feel like I was on fire. But, I knew i didn't want to have a natural delivery, so, I was begging for the epi. And to my surprise, was actually given one! And it didn't work!!! I was in tears. Was re examed, and was 9cm. My anestesiologist (sp?) was amazing though. He was determined to relieve my pain, and at the last minute, put in a new epi. BAM, it worked! I was crying tears of joy at that point
5 minutes after he replaced the epi, she was born. Only 3 pushes.
