    Hi again,

    I was just looking at how many weeks pregnant you are. So dont listen to me!lol.

    My waters never broke out in a gush with both pregnancies. First pregnancy the midwife did it with the hook thingy, looks like a knitting/croashay (sp?)and with the second, even when i got to the hospital, i was just squirting, and i think they even sped it up a bit by breaking the waters further, again with the hook.

    But i also had blood and merconium along side the clear fluid the time i got to the hospital. And dialated very quickly to 7 cm within the first hour.

    I guess my point is, if you have any cramping at all, along side the fluid coming out, dont wait it out, but get it checked.

    Mel

    Thanks Mel,

    It's good to be armed with this info, I think, especially as I had threatened labour at 29 weeks with #3 (actually I have had hospital stays prematurely with all of mine!!), but this is feeling very different to what it felt like last time, so I will keep an eye on it. Might also see if the dr is willing to do an internal at my appt next week, just to make sure it's all still ok, or see what's going on ....
