New thread!

[Awkes]

@Kpm7 it is grim. Didn’t realise it’d come out through multiple holes like a sieve either! Crazy stuff

[peachypetite]

I’ve woken up a couple of times at night with a wet chest didn’t expect it to start so early. I have a friend much closer to her due date and she’s not experienced that yet so maybe it doesn’t happen to everyone?

[Kj1010]

@Babyhope98 yes I do but cant say at the min as I'm worried yet as only just hitting 25 weeks and midwife told me not to worry at moment aslong as I feel movement I should start at 28 weeks but little one started off just at night moving but now its Increased to during the day but not always a lot if your worried go get checked out to put ur mind at ease as worry and stress not nice xxxx

@Babyhope98 I do, I'm 26 weeks and went in to be checked one day last week as baby's pattern wasn't what it normally was. The midwife was lovely, and so reassuring. She said I did the right thing calling and not to ever sit and worry in silence xx

[MrsSmith2020]

@Awkes yes to leaky boobs!

Left one started a few weeks ago and today the right one joined in. It's so weird l.
I actually wore nipple pads today!

I had no idea this happened but all my mummy friends laughed when I asked and reassured me it was normal.

I said what else is going to happen and My
Sister (mum of 2) said "it gets worse" haha

So I did a urine test strip thing again this morning as the one I took the other day was darkest purple on Ketones but I read it can change depending on what time of day.

There's a little bit of colour on the top one, does anyone know if that's normal or it always means UTI regardless of how much colour is there??

[Whatinthename20]

@Amyyy1 I’ve had colour on leukocytes before and nothing else. Spoke to midwife who said it’s probably contamination from discharge. If leuk, nitrates and ketones are all negative then uti is unlikely I was told.
Maybe do another one later, wipe first, and try and do a mid stream sample.
Obviously if you have any uti symptoms I would get it checked out though

[Babyhope98]

She’s really active this morning phew 😅 @Kj1010 @Ic86

I would just test again @Amyyy1 I think the whole things meant to go that colour not just a dot x

[Jellycat2020]

It should be the whole pad that changes colour if there's a problem.
A UTI would have a colour change on leukocytes, nitrate and protein and sometimes blood too (if you're symptomatic with it). Ketones come up positive with alterations in glucose so more for diabetes cases rather than UTIs, and should always be rechecked. I've had tons of UTIs before pregnancy and had 3 during. Now on continuous long term antibiotics til baby's born. Plus I'm Step B positive so more antibiotics at labour! 😣

[Amyyy1]

@Babyhope98 @Whatinthename20 Thanks both, ill test again after lunch! I'm not getting any symptoms of a UTI so probably was just contaminated x

[Amyyy1]

@Jellycat2020 That's very useful to know, thank you. Sorry to hear about that for you though😓

[loobeelou]

@Jellycat2020 I tested positive for Strep B with DS. I actually found it helped with knowing when to go to hospital because I needed to be on antibiotics.

[Jellycat2020]

@loobeelou yes, I was quite scared when they told me I had it as I know how dangerous it can be but actually, I'm glad they caught it so at least I can get the antibiotics to keep baby safe.

[loobeelou]

@Jellycat2020 I was the same, I had no idea what it was or how/why I'd tested positive. It is good that they know about it and you can get the antibiotics to protect the baby.

I am expecting to test positive again this time but feel a bit more prepared if I do.
