Just back from second false labour alarm at hospital in past fortnight and well and truly fed up! This time was very different from last episode, and I'm all confused about what to think.
39+1 today. Severeral nights in the past week have had labour type pains (second baby so know what a contraction is like) which came to nothing and stronger, longer braxton hicks.
Today walked DD to nursery, on way home bent down to say hello to friendly cat, and felt something give. When got in house felt warm gush of fluid between legs and was damp through to trousers.
Phoned in (having home birth) and they said as no contractions to go with it to come in.
Couldn't tell from the pad as it was too absorbent (I took it with me), baby happy, still plenty of amniotic fluid to be seen on scan.
To make it all worse the mau was the busiest I have ever seen it. There was a poor woman who looked in transition in the tiny waiting room and another very distressed woman in curtain next to me who had had so many loses and a toddler with her. I just wanted to run in and give her a hug. The doctor who did my internal confused my case with someone else, told me I had a nasty urine infection and had probably wet myself. I informed him I hadn't even given him a sample!!
Now, am happy baby is happy, but confused as to what has happened. They said no sign of waters. Wouldn't I feel an urge to wee if it had been urine? It didn't smell like urine.
I just want my homebirth so I don't have to go back there again!!!
