my breasts have been leaking when I squeeze them for a good few weeks now. It looks clear liquid with bright yellow bits coming through - is this normal?
Also i am due on the 10th december and was wondering if they try and induce you early to avoice Christmas eve/day babies?
am also so tired! i do 12 hours days in Central London and have no flexability with work in regards to hours, my iron count is extremely good - any tips to get through the day?
thanks!

I am 39 weeks today and was told at 38 week appt baby had turned back to back. The naughty bab had been the right way around through the whole pregnancy. I have been doing all the advised things swimming, gym ball, hands and knees but my question is..
How do i know when the baby has turned back the right way. It seems to spin a lot. Sometimes front of bump is flat and others round.
I can always feel the bum at the top of the bump and most of the time what i think is spine running to the left of my bump.
Does the spine need to be central in bump for it to be in right position?
Thanks

I was just wondering whether, in your opinion, a home birth for a first pregnancy (which has been trouble free)is just as safe as a hospital birth? I would love a home birth, but my OH is adamant that i have to go to hospital. Also I am a bit worried about how well i will cope. I am doing the hypnobirthing course, but you just never know!!
thanks

I gave birth to my son in July this year. I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 38 weeks and induced at 39 weeks. I had 3 +'s of protein in my urine and my blood pressure went up to 112 over 165 at one stage! I felt fine though!! Anyway if I wanted to have another baby, is it right that I will be deemed high risk? I really wanted to have a water birth with my son but couldn't. will it mean a water birth is out of the question in the future?
Thanks

I am 9+3 according to early scan 10+6 according to LMP (which btw was only for 1day and then was put on noretheseron hormone) and 10wks according to withdrawal bleed so all in all a bit confused.
However I have put on about 7lbs and look more like 6mths belly is very rounded is this normal, I know it could be bloating by I feel fine in the wind department.
Also, I am considering having a home birth but my gp said It will have to be discussed with MW as this would be my 5th pregnancy. (May stir up son controversy here but had 2 terminations when I was a teen, 1 dd and 1mc) and this may have an effect, also dd was born at 36wks (36+6) so termed early but she weighed 8lbs 14oz so he also said that this could effect my chances. Could I ask your opinion on this and if there are certain rules that I can go armed with so to speak
Thank you for your advice in advance!
Thanks Beck 16 weeks tomorrow
This morning when I went to the toilet there was greeny/clear discharge that looked a lot like snot. There was a big blob of it! What could this be? I've been having lots of back ache and period type aches in my tummy too. I'm 39+2 today.
Thanks for your help,
Gemma
The spine should be at the side of your tummy if the baby is in the right position. As opposed to feeling lots of hands and feet at the front which would mean your baby is in the occipto posterior position. Best wishes
I have started to get pains either side of pelvis, but I feel it mainly on the left hand side. It is not excruciating pain but can get quite uncomfortable. I have not really been feeling sick up to now, just a few occasions and not really bad, just hard to stomach food now and again but now im getting worried as this might not be normal and i've been able to eat fine the past few days. My boobs have not also been overly sore up to now, when I take my bra off at night and when I wake up in the morning. My nipples are only slightly sore at the minute. Is this normal? I am wondering if I have miscarried and not bled and the pregnancy hormones are dissapearing out of my body.
I had slight light pink spotting with a ache in my left side and a clot (sorry tmi) two weeks ago at 6 weeks pregnant. I went to a&e and the doctor said my womb was closed so everything seemed fine but I went for a vaginal scan the next morning and baby was fine. Im just really worried as these pains have been coming over the past few days
I am now 8 weeks
Thank you
