Waters Broke! Now waiting game!

Hi there!

Quite excited now - my waters broke tonight at 7pm. I've been to the hospital to be checked and they sent me home till the contractions are closer. Basically I just feel like I have period pain that's annoying but not terrible. No real contractions yet. IT's quite a surreal feeling really!

When the waters broke - OMG! Gushing is the right word! Every time I stood up off the toilet they came again! Slowed down now though - soaked about 5 or 6 pads! ha ha anyway just thought I'd let you know it's all started!

Had some tea and a shower and now just going to potter around - maybe even rest though I doubt that!

How exciting!! :) All the very best.... I hope it all happens soon for you then..

OOOOOHHHH!!! How exciting. Good luck :D

Wow.. good luck!!!!

ooh how exciting!! Good luck.

Ohh so exciting!! Goodluck for the impending birth! Keep walking around, it will get those contractions nice and regular.

Good luck hun. It's a tough call isn't it. Either walk to help it along or rest for later.

Try the rest side hun. It's gonna be a long night I think.

can i please ask a question? are you able to go to sleep like this? or will you be up all night in a bit of pain? sorry not sure, i'm learning :dunno: trying to learn now so i know for later
maybe one of the girls here can answer for me as i am sure Jordie is very occupied right now!

Good Luck :)

Looks like baby may come on due date

Renstar, my labour has never started with my waters breaking so I can't answer it in that regard. But yes, in early labour when you are just crampy ( like period pains) you can sleep/ rest through that. It's when your getting down to business you can't sleep.

When my water broke with Charlie i could rest inbetween contractions but i always woke up when i was having one.

wow!! Good luck, hope things are moving along nicely...

I'd try and get rest overnight if you can, you'll be excited but trying to stay awake when labour hasnt started as well as trying to stay awake the whole labour - you'll be knackered! So rest now, walk first thing in the morning!!! :)

go to bed Jordie!! get some rest..good luck tomorrow. let us know how you go!!

good luck! :)

Wishing u all the best, wow how exciting u will be meeting ur gorgeous bundle soon....goodluck!!!!
