Should I call the midwife?

I just need a little advice on whether I need to phone my midwife.

I don't want to keep calling as I've been into hospital a few times for pain as it is but when I went into hospital Saturday for pain and low pressure I was told that I'd lost my mucus plug and the baby was low (she could feel the head) and said I can go into labour at any point so now I'm not sure what to do as I didn't experience any of this with my first (he was late with NO symptoms of Labour until I was in labour!).

I've got a dull pain in my back and the urge to poo (sorry TMI) is quite strong. I've also had some painful Braxton hicks and low pressure again and I can't stop peeing! it's every 5 minutes or less and I feel like I'm dripping (if that makes any sense). shall I call to be on the safe side?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

No experience of proper going into labour either as was induced but I'd say yes! That could be your water breaking?

Yes.
Could be your waters.

Yep. Call your midwife. Try to get some rest if you possibly can, you might be a tad busy tonight Smile

I would call MW ASAP. Are you a planned home birth? I had what you describe & DC2 arrived 10mins later...
Good luck!

Yep, call the midwife. You're never wasting their time, don't worry. And good luck!

Yes that happened to me - I thought I was weeing and it was my waters.

Call. Sounds like waters and your body clearing out ready Grin
