I am 34 + 6 and have been experiencing quite a bit of Braxton hicks contractions which I know is normal at this stage but my back pain is unreal. I was awake from 4am last night for hours in agony with my back and what feels like period cramps. I went for a bath this morning to ease my back and once I have dried off, I got a gush of clear fluid run down my leg but thought nothing of it so wiped with toilet roll and it happened again straight after. It's clear as doesn't smell but now my back pain feels really intense. I am a bit conserved as at 18 weeks I was in hospital with pneumonia which lasted until I will 23 weeks and made me very poorly and can in some cases be a cause of your baby being early, I just wondered of anybody else had experienced the clear fluid and the back/period pains and could give me some advice on what to do.
