Green discharge is not good, it means your baby has opened its bowels & is coming out in your waters. Ring your labour ward immediately & tell thm. I had that with my 1st & he was born at 36weeks.

Thanks ladies I have called midwife she told me to put a pad on and check within 2 hours if there's lodes and still green to call back I can see is still green but no massive amounts .... Still getting pains on and off just going to hold on for a while see if anything happens xx

I would just go in in...it shouldnt be green....can't believe she said that clearly green is not the right colour! Wait an hour so u have some on the pad and go in dont leave it, sometimes u get bad advice or it can be a student midwife...I know if I called my hosp they would say to go in if it was green x

Yeah i agree just go in green isn't good, Once your there they will check you over and do the necessary to put your mind at rest.
