That's great advice - thanks! I'll wait and see if it happens again. It was definitely yellow, but so is my discharge so it still could have been a gush of that. This is also TMI, but I stuck my finger in my vj - just into the opening - and it came out looking very wet and watery.

Hmm maybe it was your waters! Two times my waters went really obviously. I felt and heard them go pop and then a massive gush! With E they never went obviously. Right after I had her I asked the midwife when my waters broke and she didn't know but it must have been not long after I arrived when I felt a very small gush and hadn't thought it enough to be my waters! I know you won't nap Mocha but try and relax or you'll be exhausted once things really get going. Do you like baths? Sounds like things are heading in the right direction though. Sending super smooth labour vibes!

I'm sitting in the sun in the backyard right now reading a magazine, so don't worry, Z - I'm relaxing .

The contractions have gotten a little more frequent and intense since my water may or may not have broken, so I'm hoping things will get started before the middle of the night (it's only 4pm here).

Gross again i now but if you try that again cough at the same time, thats how the midwives check (although they look with a torch and a speculum) to see if there is water there. Sounds promising x

Hi Mocha, sounds like it could be your waters. I would let your midwife know as she may want to check you, they don't like you to go too long after your waters have broken due to risk of infection.
My waters broke with my second pregnancy, I was in bed trying to sleep and just as I started drifting off I woke up to a gush of water. I jumped up (well waddled up lol!) and went to the bathroom leaving a trail of my waters behind me! Mine kept going for probably about 30 minutes on and off until they eased off but I lost most of it in the first gush I think.

Worst bit was when I got home from hospital 3 days after having the baby I realised dh hadn't changed the sheets on the bed!!!!!!!!!!!! How gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mrs_P]

nice!!! these dh's are soo charming aren't they - men eh

[fivebabies]

The only time my water broke on its own it was not a flood. I bent over to pick something up and as I came up I felt a warm trickle. I had no idea if my water broke or if I peed myself (never had done either before!) I just knew it didn't feel normal. But found that extreme movements made it trickle more. The gush came when the baby came out. lol.

Good luck! I hope this is it for you!

[ladybug]

I am totally stalking you Mocha!!!! sounds like your water to me...I hope you have a quick and easy delivery....

Good Luck Mocha!!!! I cant wait to hear your news!!!

I went in yesterday to have a CTG done on bubs ( which was all good) I decided to get my blood pressure checked while I was there because Yesterday I felt just unwell and headache and funny vision. I was seeing a lot of floaters in my eyes and bright flashers. Anyway blood pressure was 160/100 which is a big jump from 125/85 so off I went up to the hospital was stuck there for hrs!!!! Anyway wee sample was clear BP came down to 145/95 I was able to come home but they are still worried about Pre Eclampsia so I must go back if my eyes play up again. Waiting on my blood work which does worry me because My Liver function is not normal anyway so just woundering what signs would be different in my liver between the ICP and Pre Eclampsia!? Just have to rest I guess and wait and see. Gee talk about a horrid pregnancy!! I hope I get a good settled Healthy baby out of this!! PLEASE that is all I want!!!!

Pinkin, I am sorry this pregnancy has been so hard on you! One thing after another for you/ Hope all your tests come back okay.

I have migraines only in pregnancy, and I don't actually get the headaches--just visual disturbances (I think they call it auras or halos or something?) Anyway I get bright flashes and weird sparlky lights in my vision. Is it possible that you are having that happen? Mine go away a few weeks post partum.
