ohara123 · Mar 20th, 2012, 15:39 PM

hello every1 i need some advice and help im bit worried,, im currently41plus 3 and this morning at 8am i woke to my waters going and also my mucus plug coming away through day, ,,, i went into hospital for routine check as waters have gone around 10.30am all was well and was told to return home until contractions got stronger and longer,

its now over 12hours later my contractions have eased of and im now so scared as im booked for induction at 7 in morning because risk of infection as waters have gone

i have tried everything to get baby moving nothing seems to be working.. just praying baby comes naturally during night when they ready

My waters went at 8am and my first contraction was 3.30pm the same day (I was booked for induction too so I know how you feel).

Mine started after a long walk so I'd advise you to keep moving chick. If I'd known that I'd have been much more active instead of sitting down so much!

I had a normal delivery, Laura arrived at 3.04am the next day. Had gas and air and water birth.

I really hope things start for you soon chick xx

If you want to avoid induction, you could discuss monitoring your temperature instead for signs of infection. My friend was put under pressure to induce, but she went into labour naturally the day after she'd have been induced having kept a careful eye on her temperature and being checked in hospital. She had a very easy home birth.

In the mean time, try to keep relaxed as adrenaline can slow or stop labour - easier said than done I guess!

I'm currently being induced , I'm just tipping at my cervix, had internal pill at 8 am n nothing had happened not one contraction so plan is have another pill at 2pm then if nothing by 8 pm go onto drip see if that works ..?! I'm praying it does so fed up all i can hear is screaming woman and it's terrifying me not relaxing at all wish i declined this and stayed at home ;( x

with my daughter contractions started immediately when my waters broke, and she was born in 8 hours.

with my son my waters broke (trickle) and I went in to the hospital to be examined and they'd resealed themselves! The midwife said it COULD have been another two weeks before baby was born (I was only 38 weeks), but he had other ideas and I went into proper labour that evening.

Hope it's all going well and that you soon have baby in your arms, if you don't already!
