Just wondering about this preasure i keep getting and shooting pains as if the baby is trying to com out. Sorry for tmi but when i need to go for a pee i get this awful urge of preassure down there that i need to keep going (for poo or pee) but then i feel really wet all the tinme. As if i have a week bladder. I can sometimes feel slight discharge come away too Blush Wondering if this all normal?

is this recent? just that the pressure thing sound s a bit...full term!!
the wetness i had a lot, just think it's all the hormones raging around.
whenare you next seeing your midwife?

alexsmum · 27/04/2006 11:01

could just be that baby has dropped and is lying very low.

if you are at all worried please check it out with your midwife. Sometimes waters can break as a trickle and not a flood so it can be hard to tell. Don't be shy. It's very important to ask.

alexsmum · 27/04/2006 11:05

i'd give the delivery suite a ring.get a community midwife to come and check things out.if the wetness only just started too could be your hindwaters going.

I think I'd give my midwife a call if I were you. Probably is just the baby having dropped and maybe they've got a good grip of your bladder too :)

And when you say "discharge" what is it like? It's not the jelly like show is it?

can you tell i've not got much on today?

SoupDragon · 27/04/2006 11:12

When I was in labour with DD earlier this year it wasn't bloody at first. Different to both DSs.

Mercy · 27/04/2006 11:21

Dunnyjo, I had something similar with both of mine after my waters broke - not the pains - but a mucousy discharge with no blood. That came a bit later.

Good luck!

alexsmum · 27/04/2006 11:21

well?

RedZuleika · 27/04/2006 11:28

Cervix starting to thin out and efface...?

RedZuleika · 27/04/2006 11:29

That was a suggestion as to what's going on, btw - rather than a request that you get down there and check...

Spoke to mw on the phone, she told me to wear a pad and keep an eye on it for a few hrs and see how it goes. If i have any pains i have to go to the hospital. She said it could be the baby going in and out of the pelvis as this is not my first.
I will keep an eye on it and i have already worned dh. Was supposed to be going to my sis for lunch do you think its worth me driving over? or stay put?
oh god do you think this is it starting? I dont want it to!

alexsmum · 27/04/2006 11:36
