What's this?? Waters? Show?

[Egypt]

is anyone about???????? advice quick! Just went to loo, wearing think panty liner, and the thing is damp. around the edge of the dampness is a pinky tinge. what's this???? its surely not a show - not thick or mucus like at all? midwife did say that waters can go (when she came here a week ago) and be a tiny trickle - hardly noticible on a pad, and can be pinkish in colour. am panicking - arrrgh! is anyone about?

ps not due til 17 may

thin panty liner - not thick!

also mild period type cramp in my thighs?!!?

is your bag packed??????????

When my waters broke (-several years ago now!) that was how it began. I just changed to a proper sanitary towel but then it got heavier and phoned hospital.

PS. Good luck!

yes bag packed! oh gawd, pickledbeetle! thank you for message!! shall go and get maternity towels ready

Egypt - I'm not sure, but can you phone your midwife to be on the safe side? Oh, and agree with mummysurfer, if the bag isn't packed, now might be a good time to throw stuff into it

lots of hugs

how exciting - good luck

have had sharp pokes and stabbing pains in groin for last few days and again before i noticed this just now. just the mild period pain and had an urgent need to empty bowels a mo ago - which happened easily - bit like diarrohea! (sorry) - maybe just cos i'm nervous. no - i'm ok - not panicking - and i've just put a shepherds pie in the oven - so must have food first!!!

oh and braxton hicks - but not painful, just like normal, but without much let up!

Sounds like all systems go to me, Egypt! You were determined to jump the queue, weren't you

will phone del suite and let you know - thanks girls....sorry to panic!

you've just described how my waters broke.

Good luck Egypt! I knew you were keen to go but honestly!

We're all thinking of you xxxxx

hellooooo! Just back from hospital. called del suite and they said to go in and be checked. mw thinks it was a watery show. cervix still completely closed and no signs of waters broken. bh's were q strong and uncomfortable (stopped now). She said that i may be in early stages and should prob go into labour in the next day or so!!!! I dont believe that though. Think i was just panicking about a bit of watery discharge....we'll see!

Oooh... good luck Egypt

Eeeeeeh, egypt!! all this excitement and I'm checking in late... Hope you slept well after all that, sounds like a good time to stock up on energy while you can m'dear... zowee! xxx

Oooo... Egypt! Thought for a while there we were going to get a birth announcement! Hope you got a good rest last night

hi eygpt, how was your night and how are you this morning, just to give you my tuppeniworth 4 years ago i had a similar thing no gush but continual leakage apparently you have forewaters and hindwaters the forewaters can go before and it can be perfectly safe, i allowed to be left leaking for 5 days although they did monitor the baby and the amniotic fluid daily. So dont panic if youre still leaking just keep in touch with the hospital. If the discharge goes yellowy or brown go straight to hospital tho' Good luck and looking forward to an announcement.

Been thinking about you all night.

When my waters went (as I said earlier) I went to hosp. where they said I wasn't in labour but kept me in anyway(?!). My son was born 6 hours after they told me that!

Hope you had a good night & it's always good to have a practise run!

thanks all...had a very good night's sleep - no tinges even! don't know what is going on - nothing apparently!! definitely know it wasn't my waters after all as not a sausage since. guess it was just a watery show like she said. hmph. was getting q excited and now nothing!
