am I the only one?

I'm scared I won't know when labor is beginning or if my water leaks but doesn't break. Ugh the end of the pregnancy seems to be the worst right now. The anticipation is driving me crazy

If you have watery discharge but only some go to your doctor or at least  call. I had some and my doctor checked me to make sure I didn't have a rupture that was causing my fluid to leak out and I ended up having an infection I need antibiotics for. They can test the fluid and will be able to know.

That's another thing to add onto all of it I've been having back pain that can get super uncomfortable and I can't tell if it's normal back pain or not :/

My mom only had back pain with me, and my thing is whats the difference between a contraction and cramps? With my first pregnancy i just got a reoccurring sharp pain on my left side from like right above my pelvis that went around to my back

I felt the same but wen my water finally broke i felt like a pop then my water started gushing out. Its a huge difference from watery discharge

To me, it felt like my baby was stretching all the way out over and over again. I had to be induced and didn't realize these were contractions until they hooked me up and I saw the line spike every time this happened. Then the back pain started:(

I thought the same thing and had watery discharge!!! I went into labor 3 days later, trust me ladies, you'll know(: it's painful and the contractions are very consistent. If you have questions you can always call the hospital as well(: good luck ladies!

Same that's why I'm freaking out! I'm 35 weeks and my doctors said if I go into labor now they won't stop it.
