Last night I had a nice bath and then went to bed where I had some strange twinges in my lower back which I dismissed and then fell asleep, I got up in the night to go to the bathroom and I suddenly started to leak a clear, odourless fluid that I couldn't stop, it honest looked like I was peeing myself! the floor where I was stood was soaked and by the time I got to the bathroom it had stopped and I still needed to pee, so I cleaned myself up and called the maternity unit who asked me to go straight in, after an examination she said that my waters were in tact and that the liquid could have just been discharge and sent me home. I'm still wearing a maternity pad which is damp, but not wet.
Since returning home I have had back ache with period type pains all around and regular painful tightenings of my tummy that feel like painful braxton hicks but are more regular and last longer and also don't stop if I change position or walk around, I also keep having loose bowel movements and I feel a bit sick (I think it's more down to nerves).
Could I be in slow labour or do you think I could just be wanting my baby to arrive so much that i'm noticing 'symptoms' whereas I may have normally dismissed them?
I'm 37weeks +2 days
Thanks
