Hi everyone,
Well I just wondered if anyone could give me some advice. I have been having contraction type pains for about 4 days and rang the hospital and was told to take paracetomol (?) and take a warm bath and wait till the pain became unbearable and then ring them back to come in and be assessed as although i had been having quite a bit of discharge It didn't sound as though my waters had broken.

So I followed there advice and got about 4 hours sleep last night been having the same type of pain all day today exspecially after i got back from walking the dog to the woods., it got a bit worse but still just about bareable so I didn't bother to ring the midwife back as i thought i would just be told the same thing about taking pain killers and a bath....

Now having just gone to the toilet about 10 mins ago i noticed water type fluid on my underwear and all the discharge over the past couple of days has been jelly like this was more like water. So I wiped with some tissue and it didn't smell of anything and was like water on the tissue.... I was wondering if this is my waters breaking and i should ring the midwife again or I should just leave it., and see how it goes.... I have 2 days left till my due date

Any ideas anyone???????:\?:\?:\?:\?

There is an outer membrane that can leak water. This has happened to me 3 times in the early stages of labour. Doesn't sound as though your main waters have gone yet. Good luck

Isn't it better just to ring your midwife to be safe rather than sorry? It's just, well, that's what they are there for to help if you are unsure about anything.

Let us know any updates though

How regular are the pains your having? It may be your back waters as they tend to trickle. Definately ring your mw again, i have been to hospital twice this week to check my waters, and although they were useless you may have more luck. Its always best to check just to be sure as you dont want to risk infection
