Thanks Chelle. I think I haven't got long to go. Maybe 2 weeks or so.  Luckily I have had steroid injections so thats a relief. Its just frustrating not knowing why these things are happening to me when there is no sign of labour.

sound like things are deffinatley getting ready to go, could still be a few weeks yet tho. im no expert or anything, but i would deffinatly say listen to what your body is telling you and if your not happy get them told, its you and your babys at the end of the day

i have heard of there being "fore waters" or "back waters" ( i think) that can leak as babys head is moving down ( but i could be totally wrong!!!) and heard of some women who leak for a few weeks, everyone is totally different

god you would think they might want to talk about what will happen if you do go into full on labour or be thinking about steroid injections

sorry ive not been much help but i am wishing you lots of luck and hope babies hang on a little longer for you, it must be very frustrating

Hi, I spoke to a midwife at my parent craft class last night. I asked if waters could break gradually because I am leaking, but not to the extent where I am soaking a pad/towel.  She suggested I went to the maternity ward to get checked out.  I had a registrar have a look and she said that even though I had a show 2 weeks ago, getting pains and leaking there is still no sign of labour. I am so confused as to what to expect. Basically do I have to be in agony with pain to realise I am going into labour? Please advise, its my first pregnancy and I dont have a clue! Thanx, Em 30 +5
