Just that. Currently in hospital, after having sudden bleeding starting at about 10pm. 27 weeks pregnant, phoned the hospital midwife, who told me to call 999.

Ambulance turned up within 5 mins, put a cannula in and took me straight to the assessment center/labour ward.

Baby heartbeat is fine, but having tightenings, and a test for showing possible premature labour came back positive.

Been scanned, don't think the blood is from the placenta or cord, but it is quite watery. Going to be given antibiotics and steroid injection asap, then reassessed in the morning, including testing for amniotic fluid.

On my own, husband looking after our 3yo DD, and in any case, not allowed in with me anyway. Had 2 losses in the last year, and am so scared something will happen to this one too.

💜 hope induction goes well!

It'll be worth finding out their immediate plans for baby after birth if it's not already been discussed. Just so that if they intend to whisk baby away immediately/do checks in the room you're prepared. Or so that you know you'll be able to have cuddles/skin to skin or whatever you want 🥰

Oh my goodness! I commented on this thread way back when your waters first broke. (escaped the hoover nicu by the skin of my teeth and spent a fair bit of time as an inmate on Mary!)

Best of luck with everything, you’ve done so well to get this far Flowers
