I'm not sure whether to go to the hospital or not and I've been trying to get through to the unit for an hour now - it's just constantly engaged.
I'm 2/5 engaged, been having white, watery discharge for the last 2 days whenever I stand up and I've had it earlier on in pregnancy but all of my growth scans showed fluid levels were fine. Tonight I've sat up in bed and felt a leak, expected it to just be what it has been before just to find that actually it's a tiny bit of pinkish-red water. Thank god for t being a white bedsheet otherwise I'd have not known. It's literally 4 separate pink dots on the sheet and that's it, I've not really had any pains other than my SPD pains and I've still felt some movement although this is her quieter time - I'll only really notice any changes in her pattern in a few hours.
Just before it happened I had been getting daggers from her forcing her head down so maybe that caused it... I did have a small bleed a couple of weeks ago and was in hospital for the evening, however that time it was bright red bleeding rather than spotting. All was fine although the consultant couldn't figure out where the bleed had come from and it stopped as quickly as it started, I haven't had any bleeding or signs of bleeding since until the pink fluid tonight.
I don't know whether to go in, I've had conflicting advice to go in if theres any blood or leaking in the slightest to not worrying if it's tiny bit of spotting because it's probably a "show". I'm just worried because my ultrasounds have shown that she's still on the smaller side although above the 10th centile and there was a few different worries about my placenta earlier on in the pregnancy. Although these were pretty much ruled out at 29 weeks and I've had lots of scans since.
My midwife is on compassionate leave until next week and her work phone is turned off so no chance of getting hold of her. I feel like I should go in because I'd never forgive myself if something bad happened but I know my partner will tell me to wait to bleed more or wait for cramps because he doesn't want to miss his shift at work tonight and let them down - i need him to take me as he's my only way of getting there as my car's having work done, otherwise I'd just take myself.
Do I insist on going in or is it likely to just be my show? It isn't mucus-y so I'm not sure if that's what it would be? :/
