I'd be inclined to call her this afternoon ShaSha. Can you excuse yourself from the lab for a few minutes? I presume college is nearer to a hospital than home? If so, you might as well make the call now lest she advise you to go in and be seen.
Going in and being seen is also impossible until after college. I'm pretty much stranded here until my bus comes at 5PM. I've no credit on my phone to make a call (only ran out bloody last night) and I've just been refused the use of a college phone to call my midwife. College nurse said it's "probably" normal but now I'm panicking that it's waters leaking!

What network are you with? I can put credit on your phone from online if you want.
I'm not trying to alarm you but if it is your waters breaking (and it can happen at 25 weeks and you can still go on to have a full term pregnancy so please do not panic) then you need to get yourself to hospital and to have steroids administered asap.I really wouldn't delay with this though, you need to speak to your midwife and if it means scrapping college for the day then so be it.
Just got my mother with webtexts, she's topping me up now
Jesus, I hope it's not that, it would take at least two hours for me to even get into my hospital, and that's assuming someone could leave for me now!0 -

Stay calm my love. I just posted you a link above which hopefully explains everything and certainly sounds like what you have been experiencing. You still need to talk to the midwife to err on the side of caution. Don't worry.
Midwife is consulting with someone and then ringing me back to advise further. She said it sounds like it might be a leak of amniotic fluid but she's happy enough that I still feel movement that isn't excessive or dulled.
Can't say that helps though 0 -

I know, not to worry. I'm glad you've made contact. If it is, she will probably advise bed rest ShaSha so make sure you do if this is what she advises.0 -

She just called back and said that while it does concern her, she feels confident that it's nothing dangerous because
- It was an isolated incident and there has been no leakage 3 hours later.
- I am not in any discomfort.
- Abi is kicking as normal, not more often and harder, or less often and weaker.

Well just a quick update and my MW rang back again and said she honestly wasn't happy the longer she thinks about it. I've started experiencing some mild abdominal discomfort but told her this could just be because she mentioned it originally and I'm imagining it.
Partner is on the way up in a blind panic to collect me and we're heading straight to hospital to get checked out and tested 0 -

OK. You're better to be seen. I know it's very easy to think the worst but in all probability you are fine and the abdominal pain is probably due to stress and upset. It's easier said than done but have a nice cup of sweet tea and just try and relax until Mr. Bear gets there to take you to hospital ok? They may keep you in for observation so have your Mum on standby to bring in a little bag for you if necessary. I'll be thinking of you, please keep us posted and keep the chin up, you and baby will be fine xx
I'm not incredibly worried, I was well prepared for stuff that might go wrong and MW confirmed that waters leaking would happen again today if that's what it was.
TBH more of the upset came from Mr. Bear himself, he started crying on the phone because he hadn't checked his messages and was begging for forgiveness and all sorts. Bless him, I told him not to panic

You poor thing, ShashaBear I've only just seen all these posts. You absolutely are doing the right thing going in to be checked out. Hopefully it's absolutely nothing and just one of the wonderful things that can happen during pregnancy. Please let us all know how you are getting on, I'm thinking of you. 0

How are you feeling today ShaSha?
Full-blown thrush
MW did say I might be getting an infection, and mentioned thrush, but my urine was clear. Seems the leakage was my body's last ditch effort to prevent it, but I have the itching, burning when peeing and the throbbing and discharge to go with it now. Doc is doing me up a script for it, so at least I know what it was now!0 -

Happy mothers day to all us new mum's to be

ShaSha how are you getting on?
Things are finally clearing up now, so back to normal body function
If only I could get college finished I could properly relax
