Could this be the start?

[LusciousV]

Morning All,

I'm 39+1 with baby #1 and when I got up this morning I felt a little gush. Didn't think much of it but went to the loo and my PJ bottoms are wet and when I wiped after peeing, there was a rusty brown spotting on the paper (which I also noticed in my pants). It's like the start/end of a period. Could this be my 'show'? I'm not having any pains or tightenings. I've put a pad on to monitor how much fluid (if any) continues to come out.

I'm booked to have a section early next week on my due date and wondering at what point do I call triage?

I've rung my midwife and left a voicemail but she doesn't start work until 9am so waiting for a call back. I'm probably getting ahead of myself but just don't want to leave it too late to go in incase things progress quickly and it makes the section less likely.

Any advice would be appreciated x

@FirstTM2020 aww how exciting! Is this your first? Haha I know what you mean about the tip toe walk 😂
This is my first, I'm booked in for a sweep on Tuesday, I'm so impatient now, I just want him here. I've had on/off cramping for the past 2 weeks and I lost my plug a few weeks ago but it's probably reformed I think. Just when I think something might be starting, it stops xx

@Hodge85 yeah this is my first too and I'm like you I just want him out now 🤦🏽‍♀️ ive been having period pains more than usual the last few days and lots of BH, the lightening crotch thing was new for me only happened the last couple of days but i suppose its everything just getting ready!

I'm starting to shit myself for labour now 😂 xx

@FirstTM2020 haha I totally didn't read your username before I asked that question, what a numpty I am! 😂

Yes I too am bricking it, it's weird. There's a mixture of "c'mon baby, get out!" Followed with "omg I don't know if I can do this". I can't believe it's due date time already, I don't even know where the time has gone!!!

@FirstTM2020 @Hodge85 any sign of your babies yet? X

Nooo being induced on tuesday🥴 how are you doing @LusciousV x

@FirstTM2020 Aaah, not long now! I'm shattered 😴🤣 it's been an exhausting but amazing 11 days 🤩 our wee man is a beauty 🥰 Bet you're buzzing to meet your wee one now 🤗 x

Aw i bet, hope your well and recovering 💕 xx
