So my midwife and the doctors were happy with bubs yesterday.
They were pretty certain that the strong movement i felt was him turning from breech to head down and that he is moving lower into my pelvis which would explain all the pressure i was feeling.
The great news is that i was not leaking any amniotic fluid and was most likely just excess discharge (TMI, i know) so there is no cause for concern at this stage! Will have my regular follow up appointment in 2 weeks

That's definatly reassuring, it's better to have these things checked even if you dont think it's an issue, it could turn out to be something serious. Glad your feeling better about it all now.

Thanks lovely, i'm just glad i'm not leaking amniotic fluid and looking at delivering before 30 weeks!

Yeah sometimes I feel a little leaky. I just chuck it up to extra discharge. I believe I read that there is no cause for concern unless it smells funky lol. I normally wear a pantry liner because I hate that wet feeling all the time.

How is everyone going? No updates in days!
I'm chugging along, can't believe ive reached the third trimester already!

Hey Sam! I’m doing alright, little mans butt seems to always be in the same stop a couple inches above my belly button so it’s been a little tender there. My doc says this is normal. I get these sharp vaginal like lightning bolt pains here and there during the day, especially when I’ve been on my feet for a while but it goes away real quick. Other than that I got the waddle down pact lol.
Here is a picture of my friend and I, she is 38 weeks and her last day of work is Friday.

Oh my goodness Renee, you both look so beautiful! I don't really have a bump pic..heres my latest one last week at 27 weeks

Hello beautiful ladies! Sorry I've been so quiet, 37 weeks today ive been in and out of labour for about a week now, had a midwife appointment today bubs is about 3.5kgs so she's concerned about how big it's getting so I'm looking at an induction next week to be on the safe side.

Confuzed, hope you're not feeling too uncomfortable in these last few days! I'm sure that whatever the doctors and midwives decide will be the safest and easiest option for both you and bubs xx

Thanks Sam, In my teams opinion it's the safest option for bubs and I as they are concerned about shoulder dysplasia or me bleeding out if they let me go to my due date so I totally understand why they are suggesting this, I'm so nervous though. How are you going lovely?
Renee, I've been having those awful lightening bolt feelings too, just bubs getting into your pelvis but holy moly it's a shock and makes you want to cross your legs haha! Hope you've been well otherwise.
