just over 27 hours ago my membranes ruptured and it has been a long wet wait for labor to start! still waiting...

i had a show at 8pm monday, then 2am tuesday woke up with broken waters. i phoned the hospital who told me to go get some sleep and wait for labor to start, which in the majority of women is within 12 hours, and the small minority within 24 hours.

hubby stayed home from work all day and we sat and waited and i had heaps of mild irregular contractions... etc etc nothing much except for using up almost all my super soaker maternity pads and drinking litres of water to replace the fluid.

later in the evening they got me to go in and tested the fluid - yes its amnio,
did an internal exam - cervix fully softened, 1cm dilated! traced his heart beat and its all good.they said they can wait four days after membranes rupture for labor to start then if it doesnt they have to induce.
i have to check my temperature and be really careful not to get an infection. they said i would probably be back during the night hehehe...

so i came home to get some sleep, contractions got stronger for a while and i thought it might happen but no! still waiting!

so thats my story so far... im up now swinging my hips around hoping that will get things moving, thoroughly bored with this long wet wait!
