Hey,
I’m 30 + 5 today, a week ago yesterday I went into triage with cramping. Due to my history of preterm births with my last two babies they did a swab test to see if I’m likely to go into labour in the next two weeks, this test came back positive!
I was kept in overnight for observation and had a scan a couple of days later which shown my cervix is at the borderline level of 26mm - if it was 25 or under it would show as it shortening.
The scan also shown that fluid was around my cervix and states “membranes can be seen crossing the internal os”
The doctor then proceeded to ask me if I’ve noticed any fluid down there, now I thought I could smell my waters as I do remember it as having the distinctive smell and sometimes I feel wet but I also have had 2 natural births with big babies, and with my baby pushing onto my bladder sometimes I leak urine so I wasn’t sure whether it was urine or my waters.
All throughout today I’ve been having discharge as you can see on the picture below and I’m assuming this may be my mucus plug?
On the tissue it also looks like a pinkish wet stain, could this potentially be my waters?
At first I thought maybe it’s because I’m dehydrated and my urine is dark, but I’m pretty hydrated and my urine isn’t dark?
Im not sure, so would be great if someone could let me know what they think?
Thank you in advance :)
