I think Fi has had some positive news, at her regulation 4.30 check they popped her on the CTG she was getting some good contractions!
She may stay in the night not sure what they did if anything, lets hope we have a bub by morning

when my waters broke with Anneliese i was told that she would be left in there as long as possible, but as soon as an infection showed up, then she would be coming straight out. People i know have gone weeks without being induced after having their waters broke? I spose its all up to situation??

Anyway, CONGRATS Fi, Shane and Jenna, and catch wait to meet this little man... Bec, give him big cuddles from me?!

This situation worked out really, really well (for future people needing tolook this stuff up )
I was pretty sure after about 24hrs that it was just a hindwater leak, but it didn't make any difference to the hospital, which is fair enough.
The ability to negotiate a bung in my hand, and being able to go home in between AB shots was a great thing. WE had discussed induction options, but secretly I was going to try and push it out a little longer the next morning if nothing had happened.
It did get a little annoying that noone would do an internal to see what was happening, specially as labour was so stop and start, but again - all for safety, and it turned out that the VE meant absolutely nothing anyway.

I think its sooooo important to work through these things rationally with the health providers. At the end of the day, what happened with me was really unorthadox for the hossy. The night midwives were not even a little bit comfy with the idea of letting me go home (and it turned out it wasn't needed anyway) but because I was being sensible, and polite, and we had worked through the various options it was all good.

Anyway - I'm stoked. No induction needed but HEAPS of nipple stimulation I reckon got me there in the end. Couldn;t have regulated the contractions without it.

I had a hind leak at 35w, and they told it was nothing... maybe as you were full term anyway, it didnt matter which it was?? who knows?? congrats, and im hanging out for your birth story

Hindwater leaks usually reseal themselves and they don't usually pay too much attention to it, but some will treat you as if your waters have broken. Some women have their waters spontaneously break early, but they will keep them going as long as possible. Seems contradictory ha?
