ring midwife or not? braxton hicks and watery down there!

[VirtualFairy]

i am having braxton hicks every 4-10 minutes this morning and have had them over the last few days but have started timing them just to see how many i am having in an hour, In the last hour i have had 11 contractions. i am only 22 weeks so if this is preterm labour this is a major prob! i am also getting watery discharge down there - it came on yesterday, and last night had to change pants in he night as was wet, i have smelled it and smells "clean" i think if it was urine it wouldnt smell so "nice" sorry its a bit mad describing my discharge as nice smelling lol.
If i ring the midwife and she says chill out you re panicing for nothing i will not be relived and if she says come in and be tested for fluid leaking and monitoring of contractions i will be freaked out. if i do go in and watery discharge stops and contractions stop, midwifes will think i am a paranoid nutter, especially because this is not my first baby.
does anyone thing these symtoms are normal and should i stop panicing and chill, or shall i call the midwife anyway?

so sad and sorry for your loss

Sorry to hear, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry to hear this VF. Am thinking of you xx

Hi VF - so sorry to hear the news - I lost my first dd at 26 weeks - 13 years ago (like Spacecadet) - do chat if you want to - I know how hard it is for you.

You poor thing

Sweetie, I am so very sorry for your loss - I have lost 2 boys in the same way - one at 18 weeks (Robert) and one at 19 weeks (Brian) of pregnancy. There was nothing they could do. They found out I have incompetent cervix and have put a stitch in with my 3rd baby - little girl. She's now almost 2 years old and ever so precious to us. I feel for you so badly right now, all my bad memories came flooding back and I miss my little boys again Hang in there. I know this is just the worst of the worst, but you have to be strong - the good news is that there is a "cure" and I'm sure you will have lots and lots of little ones... If you don't mind me asking, what did you name her?

oh no, you poor love I cant imagine what you are going through right now.

((hugs))

such sad news vf

thinking of you and your family

How terribly sad. I cant begin to imagine your pain but pray you find strength and comfort somewhere.

Big big hugs to you and your family read your post on September so sorry to hear you had such a dreadful experience thinking of you.

Im so sorry! I only just read this, im so shocked! i've been thinking about you all week, i really hoped you would be ok, how terrible, im so sorry! x

I just saw this and wanted to say how sorry I am VF.

my thoughts are with you and family

Oh VF, that's so sad. My heart goes out to you !

Big big {{{{{{{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

thankyou for all your support -i have been lieing in bed for a week now unable to do anything. i cant eat or sleep. somebody tell me how you find normal again. what shall i do now?

Oh VF, I have no idea what to say to help you. Someone will though.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Oh vf, It's heartbreaking reading this thread, I lost my first at 26 weeks and would wake up in the morning for at while after thinking I was still pregnant and it would hit me again like a train that I wasn't Would go to bed sobbing, hoping not to wake up. But it got easier, just a tiny bit at a time, there started to be time when I wasn't thinking of her every minute, those minutes stretched to 5 mins and so on. There were the times i'd come crashing back down again but those times got less and less, and now I think about my girl and smile not cry. It will happen for you to.

Have you posted a thread on the bereavement section? I'm sure you would find it to be a comfort. Love to you and your family, annie x

have you thought about something like bereavement counselling VF? just a thought, it might help you straighten things out in your head a bit ...

Love to you xxxxx

Oh God I am so sorry {{{{{hugs to you and your family}}}}}. I know exactly what you have gone through - one minute happily pregnant - next minute nothing. I lost my first at 24 weeks and my second at 26 weeks. Both text book pregnancies and no one could tell me why they came so early. But, it will get easier in time. Be strong, and please remember it is important to let your feelings out and not bottle them up. Don't be afraid to talk about things - especially here on MN. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm so, so sorry VF

Thinking of you and your family.

im so sorry sweetheart.
i cant imagine the pain your are going through...theres no way you can speed up the process of 'feeling normal' as she will always be there in your heart...i dont have anything useful to say though..so sorry.

I am so sorry.

Hugs to you VF all i can say is that time heals eventually everyone recovers from bereavement at a different pace allow yourself to gieve it has been a terrible loss to you and your family. If you feel you need help ask the GP to refere you for councelling I have a friend who has been helped immensley by this when she had a similar bereavement. I cannot claim to know how you feel but we are all here for you when you need us.

I am so sorry virtualfairy. I'm thinking of you and sending you my love. It is really really hard - the worst thing you will (hopefully) ever have to go through but you will find the strength to carry on. I lost my baby at 19 weeks in February and am just starting to be able to think about him and everything that happened without breaking down. It's heartbreaking. Sending you so much love
