Labour?

Just after some advice. I'm 36 weeks today and have been having hourly cramps and tightening across my stomach and lower back aswell as some light leaking for the last 24 hours. I have quite a bit of pressure and it feels like he's dropped alot aswell. I've had paracetamol and showered and that helped at the time but it is not going away. I wasn't sure if I should wait it out or if I should call triage. This is my first baby and just feel very lost and confused.

Call triage, they will be ablemto advise you x

Call triage if your waters broke they will want to check you as you become an infection risk 🙂

Definitely call! If your waters have gone your risk of infection goes up after 24 hours and usually if you’re term or close to, they’ll only leave you 24/48 hours before inducing/section x

I could have written this! I wasn’t sure whether it was just braxton hicks 😅 xx

36 weeks I would definitely call triage just to be on the safe side 🥰 xx

Another thing is don’t let them force you into an induction etc When my waters broke with my daughter & nothing happened labour wise, it was so busy they told me I could be left for up to 96 hours before induction & I had no antibiotics or anything, just daily blood pressure checks from a midwife 3 days after my waters broke they had room for me on labour ward x
