Last night I felt a snap, stood up and leaked fluid down my legs, over the rug and through my knickers. I'm 38+2.
Went through four maternity pads overnight. I live around the corner from the hospital so called, then showered and went straight in today. They tested the fluid but said it must be discharge.
It was straw coloured, smelled of spunk (frankly!) and had bits of brown blood in. It literally poured down between my legs.
At triage this morning, they said I was having mild contractions but the swab came back as not being amniotic fluid. Anyone else had this? The baby is fine but I'm concerned about infection if it's not got enough fluid in there now. Should I go back? I would rather be at home for most of labour to be honest as it wasn't a very restful experience!
