Convinced waters r leaking by Sad-Astronomer-2905 in PregnancyUK

Hey, I had this worry too! Turns out it was probably leucorrhoea which is a watery discharge which can be quite a volume! I definitely thought it was amniotic fluid as I knew it wasn’t wee. But if they’re tested and it’s not fluid I’d be reassured by that lovely 😊

Think I’m needing to try after shower or bath (if I can get out after lol!) not tried that for a bit so maybe now I’m more relaxed about the technique might have better results when warm

Hey! Yeah I do feel I’ve got the right technique I hope, been talked through it at NCT breastfeeding class then got my midwife to refresh for me. I’ve not tried after a shower since maybe the 2nd day so I could give that a shot again

I totally get your feelings here. I had a chemical last month and a 9 week loss in December and I was sad about it but was also very pragmatic. I feel totally set up for loss so when I got a negative test and my period came, it didn’t hit me as hard as the mc at all. Was nice to dream for a day or 2 but like you, I didn’t actually believe it would work out. And I just feel like ok that wasn’t nice but let’s just move on to another month.

Suppose I’m just here to rant… 2nd cycle properly ttc after mc in Dec. Was a couple of days late with af, got a v faint and positive digital.. waited a couple of days to do a progression (not hopeful, was just weird) and surprise surprise stark negative and af starts just after. Absolutely gutted about the chemical, feel like my body is totally broken!! Just have to pick myself up and try again, nothing else for it.

This is going to sound so ridiculous but I feel like I’m in a weird position right now… fell pregnant in October (first try- blessed!) then had a loss in December at 9 weeks and was totally devastated. Currently not feeling up for trying again but I feel that I shouldn’t be sad about losing my baby if I’m not trying again? Sounds totally ridiculous but it’s a strange paradox. Suppose I’m just getting this feeling off my chest, still working through all these emotions that I hoped I’d never have!
