What could it be?

[Chellybaby88]

Hello ladies!

I'm hoping you can help. My sister is 38 almost 39 weeks and has been experiencing tightenings for almost a week.

She said that her discharge has been becoming more and more watery the last week also.

Any ideas if this could be early labour or what else it could be?

Good luck to all of you! X

sounds like braxton hicks to meand water discharge is quite normal.

where and how is she feeling them and how often?

 

[Chellybaby88]

Hi roxane, she is feeling the tightenings on her bump and back and probably every half an hour.
She has been advised ny triage that this could be her waters leaking and has to go in straight away to be assessed.

Thanks girls!

tell her best thing to do is keep moving around, swinging her hips in a circle as all this will help baby move down and progress things
