Morning,
as you may have seen on my other thread, i've had lots of sweeps which left my at 3cm dilated stretchy but not in labour...
I have a consultant app this morning so really wat to find out what you ladies think first before i go and make a tit of myself!
When i got out of bed this morning i felt a trickle of liquid dribble down my leg - i looked down and it was whitish in colour (i thought my ds had poured his milk on me - wouldn't be the first time!) any way, a couple of seconds later it happened again. It dawned on me what it could be so went to loo. Lots of discharge/ mucus etc. (i lots my bloody show last week)
I've put a pad on now. As I said it was whitish in colour - so was it just lots of discharge, it didn't smell of pee but i'm slightly tired so starting to lack trust in my own senses. It smelt of nothing really! Xmas Confused
Any ideas before i go and announce i've peed myself my waters have gone to a consultant!

I was told to prove if your weaters have gone - lie down for 20 mins or so, then stand up quickly. If you get a gush, its waters and baby is on its way! Good luck, you must be very frustrated!

if it smelled of nothing, that sounds like waters - you're at the end of pregnancy, if you're anything like me, you could smell wee at 30 paces! Grin

Ring your MW and see what they say (i think they also recommend putting on a sanitary towel and seeing how wet it gets, and the MW can also test it to see if it's wee or waters)
