Subject : Help with waters breaking confused????????????

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???????

Have also posted this in the labour forum as well

It could be that your waters are slowly leaking. This can happen, especially if the babys head is deeply engaged in the pelvis. If you think it might be your waters, I would ring the delivery suite; they can do a check to see what the fluid is. It's important because if it IS your waters and you don't go into spontaneous labour, then the risk of infection gets greater. Not long now. :)

I just rang the hospital and got a very unhelpful reply from the midwife i spoke to.....

All she said was to keep taking the pain killers and that as the pains weren't stopping me from actually doing anything then there was no point in coming in although if i still have the watery fluid leaking in about an hour to ring her back and they may get me to come in for tests..... I have had these pains for 4 days now and its making me dispear

hey jus read ur post and didnt want to read and run, if i were you i would ring them bak and tell them uve had this pain for 4days and the painkillers are not doing anything, i would also tell them that this leaking fluid is worrying me!
they cant talk to you like that at end of the day this is your baby and they have to by law pay you some medical attention even if it amounts to nothing.
The safety of your baby is the most important thing and they cant refuse that!!

gd luck with it all and i hope its labour pains and nothing serious hun
