I was just getting changed, and a gush of water dripped out of you know where. I could not control it at all. There was quite a large amount. What do i do now??
That's great! Your labour is starting! I would contact your hospital or MW and let them know, and then sit back, relax and wait for the surges to start. I read that there's no harm if nothing happens for 24 hours... so if i were you, I'd just relax and rest as much as you can. How exciting! Good luck!!
very exciting! Ring your hospital, they might want you to go in for them to check that everything is ok. And keep active. That will bring on labour if it hasn't already started.
omigosh! I am shaking, i am that nervous! Thank you all for your best wishes and advice. I rang the maternity ward just before, and she said to put on a pad and wait to see if i leak anymore. I have to ring them back in a couple of hours. I am not having contractions though? Will they start up now??
Like Jodi said, my suggestion would be to keep active......hopefullt that'll start up some nicely paced contractions for you.
This is such a special time. Enjoy. Keep in touch with the hosp (I think they like to know what is going on once waters have broken....premature rupture of membranes and all that)....but the longer you can stay at home the better I reckon (just my experience!)
Do you feel up for a walk?
GOOD LUCK!! xx
(PS Your little man will most liekly come on his due date: how clever is he!)
My waters broke and contractions started about one and a half hours later, but I was overdue dont know if that makes a difference. Sit back relax try and get some sleep if you can, you baby will be here before you know it.
How exciting!!! Something that Trish said to someone earlier which was a fantastic suggestion is to use a newborn disposable nappy. That will hold heaps more fluid than a maternity pad.
The other thing is relax but also try to keep your positioning right because gravity will be pulling bubs down so keep leaning forward and try walking etc. Have a look at the optimum positioning website (there's a link here on bellybelly)
Mysti, when my waters broke with Olivia, it was just a small amount, and then I had no more leaking at all. (My waters broke at 9am, contractions started around 1pm, went to hosp about 3pm, she was born at 11pm)
With Charlie and Lexie, there was a LOT more water, full on regular contractions came on straight away, so I leaked with each contraction.
