hi thanks for your reply . i went to hospital yesterday because of the cramp and trombosus runs in my family they said they are going to treat it as a bloodclot in my leg as i cannot get a scan until monday or tuesday they gave me an injection to thinen my blood . they wanted me to stay in hospital but i was unprepared and dont have many ppl to help me so i discharged my self as i have 3 other children. i have to go bk today for another needle and every day until the scan do you think im selfish? so i hope thats not the case i had a vaginal examination done to they said im fine just a little thrush which is treatable . if it was to be a bloodclot what will happen will they give me a c section earlier could anyone give me some info and advice on it please and thank you

38 weeks isnt late for a c-section. Did someone tell you that? As for the pain and discharge, it could be due to your body preparing for delivery, or baby lying on a nerve. What is the discharge like? If it's concerning (or you think it's your water breaking) you can go to l&d and get looked at.
