im hoping one of the doulas are around to help me get this clear in my own head. Im 37+2 and this morning I had a trickle of waters, no it ran out but wasnt full on breaking IYKWIM.
Put my hands under and caught loads which i soaked into a tissue so i could check the smell colour etc. im positive its my waters, smells sweet very slightly pink. def not wee.
i am planning a homebirth and have independant midwife. rang her and she advised that the NICE guidelines used to recommend induction after 95 hours but now its 48. she advised no penetraction, no baths swimming etc but that she will do a group b strep test tomorrow if i want it.
i dont want an induction, and im worried if i test positive for group b, then home birth is off etc. I want to just ignore the leak and wait it out but from what im reading and discussed with my midwife, as time ticks on i'm gonna be pressed to take antibiotics or have induction.
can someone help me work out whats my best course of action my head is scrambled!
