With my first baby, I was able to come home after 6 hours which made me very happy. Babies 2 and 3 both had meconium so we had to stay in hospital overnight. When I had baby 2, my dd wasn't quite 2 and because we had never been apart, she got very distressed overnight because I wasn't home. It ended up with her struggling to breathe and DH calling an ambulance. So while I was upstairs on maternity, dd and do we're downstairs in a&e.
Needless to say, I cried after having baby 3 as I was desperate to go home and be with the rest of my family but it wasn't to be

I am hoping for a 6 hour discharge this time as I would much rather be in my own bed with my en suite bathroom just a few steps from my bed.

Oooohhhhh......how exciting. We have a SWIL potentially.

Hi guys, I do hope it's it tbh. My waters didn't go with dd so little unsure but I felt like my plug was coming out, I stood up and had the ulmighty urge to go toilet. Except I was struggling to hold myself and as soon as I sat down it came out. Since then I have been having a lot of dishchrge and its become very pinky.

I've called triage who said put a pad on and monitor so I'm resisting the urge to go toilet as I feel rather damp down below!! But I do need to see how much I'm losing.

Good luck Hayle! How exciting!

Oooh Hayle how exciting! Keep us posted

Cue everyone refreshing every 5 minutes for the entire evening haha

Haha I refreshed twice before posting this Nat
Good luck Hayle hope this is it!

No fair Hayle my EDD is 3 Oct - you're not supposed to go before me!!!

What was that you were saying esaelier about not feeling ready to have the baby yet...?

Good luck and fingers crossed for more babies soon :)

Eek hayle get back in line!!!

Seriously though, very excited for you! Keep us posted!!

So much to catch up on... I know I don't catch everyone!

First, Hayle, good luck!!!!

MoN - tough choices, but I am sure you'll come to the right decision. I echo what everyone else has said... You've been Si string throughout, right from the first Michael fold scan where there was 10mm fluid (is that right?) round Eliana.... I have huge respect for how you've handled it.

Umm, argh! I've now forgotten everything else! I'll have to scroll back and post again!

All good here. Bern officially discharged from the midwives as both twins are well up over their birth weight again. Yay!! Still bf and still no probs! There was done discussion about bf up thread... I am the eldest of four and my mum bf us all until we were 18 months - 2 years... So it never occurred to me that I would do anything else. I think I was lucky as well.

Feeling verrrry wet down below... Possibly mild contractions but trying not to get my hopes up...! Mw on phone said I should be monitoring to see if I'm soaking through a pad but surely if waters have gone then that's not gonna happen...? Plus she suggested baby's head could be pushing down on bladder but the fact I'm not losing a lot of pinky discharge I'm even more convinced it was my waters!

mrsh I'm not ready, my bedroom is a tip, my bathroom needs cleaning and my car seat s still on the loft at my mum n dads!

Baby has been quieter today but still moving... Oh god I hope this is it!

Hayley didn't you have dd at 37+5?

How exciting hayle how regularly should u be checking the pad? How long should it take to be soaked if its waters? Eeeeeeek I'm so creaking excited!!!

Creaking I meant freaking lol

My waters went with DS at 38 weeks Hayle. What no one tells you is that waters are constantly replenished by baby so yes you will keep soaking through pads if they've properly gone. I went through 3 pairs of trousers!

ooh just checking in and not fully caught up yet but wanted to add my eeek! How exciting hayle hope this is it for you although am v v jealous.

She said check after an hour.

Thanks for that info pseudo although I'm feeling very wet down below I'm not soaking through a pad, I don't think but have LOADS of pink discharge.

Yes I had dd at 37+5 which is Friday. my waters never went although when they did break them there was only some left apparently.

I'm so confused
