Pulled leg muscle feeling

[glitterfly]

I went for a nice looooong walk yesterday and this started happening. It's pretty painful and I was getting lovely strong braxton hicks last night. This morning I woke up and felt a gush. Not guna lie it really shocked me but it turned out to be a large amount of watery discharge. Is this normal? I've popped a pad on to monitor it. I'm getting light cramps today, very light but I have quite a high pain threshold.

I know it's my second and I should know but I was induced at 37w6 days and never experienced any of this with my first .

Thanks in advance for any advice / experiences.

Edit: I should say the pains start low in my pelvic area and goes down the top of my right leg n feels like I've pulled the muscle.

Hi are you still getting cramps now? I would speak to your midwife just to be on the safe side. It could just be from your long walk yesterday but I would always speak to a professional! My labour started off with fairly painful period type cramps that didn't go away no matter what I did. They got progressively stronger over a period of a few hours and then my waters went about 10 hours later but of course every labour is different x

Thanks so much for your reply. The cramps have settled quite a bit now. I had a soak in the bath and they have calmed down. Still got the pulled muscle pains but I guess that's just the baby's head being low? I'm in bed now just relaxing.

Thank you again for replying.

My midwife told me the other day that with second babies the head "bobs in and out of the pelvis" 😳. I have had pain on and off from this. Hopefully that is what it's from and the pain calms down soon for you. Have a good rest and hope it feels better tomorrow x
