So, I'm after some advice from those of you have had DC naturally previously, as I've never laboured. May be too TMI in places I'm afraid
Basically, last few days I think I've been having Braxton hicks. Not painful as such but uncomfortable. Also have had an increase in discharge too but ok with a panty liner, sometimes needs a change during the day.
Last night an today however, I've had a horrendous lower back ache. Really sore and only better with a lot of pressure on it. Also had 5 or 6 "pains" in my belly in last hour and half, around 2-4 mins long in length, though no relating to them. Sort of stabbing and low down, around my c section scar, and belly going rock hard. Also had a massive increase in activity down below. Feels very damp, almost like lacy pants would be fresh from the washing machine. Doesn't smell like urine, or semen (like I've been told waters smell like) sort of no smell but kind of smells sweet too if that makes sense. Have put a maternity pad on and it's very very lightly yellow stained and damp. Can you leak waters without the plug coming out?
I'm hesitant to call the midwife. I know that's what they are there for but id feel an idiot if it's just Braxton hicks and more discharge. Plus the fact I seem to be up there every 14 days or so for other various health issues too makes me worry they think I'm a time waster / hypochondriac.
Anyone have any ideas? Does it just sound like Braxton hicks? Ahhh, am only 30+4, don't want it to be labour!
