False labour or things starting to happen?

[Miss K]

Ok so I have had slight cramping and back aches all day last cramp was at around 7.20 and I have noticed I am leaking very very minute amounts every now and then... I am only 36w4d so I am unsure if this is anything happening and if I should call the hospital to get checked out? Also I am going to pee every 5 minutes or so like first one will be normal second like a trickle and next one like I have completely emptied my bladder again so I am super confused whats going on? Any help or advice would be fabulous just unsure on what I should be doing at the moment

Is it possible your waters have actually broken?? Is it definitely wee?

Sounds like your body is making preparations.

[Miss K]

Thats the thing I'm not sure *tmi warning* Its clear not yellow in colour and sometimes it is so on and off going to the toilet it will be clear then it will be yellow :/

Hi Miss K

I don’t think you need to dash of to the hospital just yet. Your leaking could be CM. See how you go over the next hour or so and then, if things have not settled down a little give them a ring

[Early Kids]

Does it have a smell?

Maybe give the hospital a call and see what they want you to do?

[Miss K]

Thanks Alan its like water though, is the cm the same late pregnancy? Its been like this for an hour so wait another and if it doesn't ease then call?

Sally - no smell to it at all just weird!

I also get a pushing urge sometimes when going like I am trying to empty out more but can't

It is possible your waters had broken. I had a client once who was being induced, she was in the night b4 to have gels and in the morn they tried to break her waters when they realised they had broken already, she was completely unawware of it and had just thought she had been going to the toilet.

Good luck either way!

Is the backache there all the time?
Does the cramp ease when you walk around?
How often are you cramping?

[Miss K]

The cramps when they are here intensify and same with back ache when I walk around though haven't had one since 7.20 and they aren't consistent just every know and then... Back ache is on and off not consistent either which is whats making me think its not labour?

Thats sorta what i have been feeling lately. I seem to be peeing every 5 minutes and then its nothing but a trickle. and then when i go again (tmi ahead) i sit down and do my business and then think its over and gush its starting again. i didnt think too into it and didnt think to post a thread (sorry to hijack your thread)

Noticed i am starting to lose my plug (was mucus with blood tinge to it this morning) no pain or anything besides a stitch this afternoon. but since about 7 my lower back has been so sore and hurties.. and im feeling a tad hot/warm..

[Alan]

I agree, I don’t think its labour but it could develop into labour. Try to get some rest. I don’t think you need to phone the hospital just yet but its ok to phone them if you are not comfortable or a little concerned/unsure.

Is your back pain there all the time or is it coming and going?

[retrogal]

I would not be suprised if things start to happen in the next few days
