    My first labour I had a slow leak. I pretty much started first stage of labour then also. That being said my first stage was very long and in hindsight I would have waited longer to go to the hospital. But being my frist baby I had no idea. Maybe wait til lunchtime and then give the midwives a call and see what they think. Your contractions may have become a bit more regular by then.

    Good luck

    I've called the hossy now and there expecting me today. Leaking is still going. Its getting more and more blood stained so I'm convinced thats what it is. I'm having the odd niggle but nothing worth tracking or even mentioning.

    I had a slow leak too. I was lucky because my OB agreed to give me 4 days to go into labour naturally, but I was put on strong AB's JIC, had to check my temp every 3 hours and go in for monitoring each day just to make sure all was ok. If I was you, I would call the hossy and go in as soon as you can... Don't stress, you don't have to be induced right away, then can give you more time, but just need to take precautions to make sure you don't get an infection and if you do that it's picked up quick smart.

    Unfortunately for me I never progressed to labour, but there were a lot of other things at play which probably account for that, so was induced 4 days later. Give yourself time hun, by the sounds of things it's already ramping up. GL

    My slow leak started early saturday I went in late sunday as She was already overdue and it was near christmass and they put me on antibiotics due to that and I was sick as well. They induced the next day as no contractions were starting at all. I had a very positive experiance all up must get round to writing it up one of these days

    Been to the hospital and am home now with a cannula in. Had my first dose on ABs and have to go back to be admitted and to continue the ab's. Its been well over 24hrs now. They wanted to speed it up at lunch but I wasn't ready lol so they will reassess when I return as to when they will speed it up. I have a known pelvic infection so am at increased risk of infection. So hopefully by tomorrow I'll have my baby woohoo.
