How long can latent labour last?

[EBDteacher]

I am 40+3 and had a show yesterday at about 11am and have had some intermittent slight discomfort since then but nothing like a cx.

I also have a feeling my waters are leaking (sorry TMI) as my knickers seem to be getting wetish (not like discharge).

So how long could it last?? Could I still be looking at days and days (even weeks?).

Not long at all now! The wetness is probably your mucus plug coming away. It can be quite watery. Stick a pad in and do some walking and even some lunges!
Keep up right. What have hospital said?
Have you had a sweep? You could go into the day unit at hospital and get checked.

It is my first so I have nothing to compare the process to. I have just walked the dogs but it doesn't seem to have changed anything!

The discomfort is associated with a 'tightening' feeling- but I couldn't really call it pain and there's no pattern to it.

DH is spontaneously baking- think the nesting thing hit him not me??

I haven't rung the hospital as I didn't think I had enough news to interest them yet.

Ohhhh a is she isn't she in labour thread....

I looove the idea of sitting on the loo and reading erotic literature I am only 28 weeks but will make a note of that one- definitely must beat pacing round worrying. Also, sounds like you'll have some scrummy cakes to eat after. Perfect!
I have now started bouncing between the Pregnancy topics and the Childbirth ones, presumably I have just hit a certain point where these things are fascinating.
Good luck EBDteacher, hope it all goes really well and you let us know how you progress x

Any update EBDteacher?
