Thanks Melly, that makes me feel better. I know I was immunised 4 years ago as it was combined with a tetanus booster, so wasn't sure I's get the full blown whoop, but it sounds like there are just a lot of nasty bugs about this year. Ah well, hopefully baby is getting immunity to a few things from me being ill!
 
Ok I'm not happy with the hospital at all.
So yesterday at 3pm my midwife said I was 2cm, cervix very stretchy and waters buldging infront of babies head, had a good sweep done.
Started having contractions around 6pm and at 8pm had a huge gush, maternity pad, underware soaked and water all over my birthing ball.

Went to hospital and they said they couldn't see any sign of waters breaking and my cervix was closed tight! Got sent home and told to keep an eye on pad.

Anyway overnight contractions stopped and no more loss of waters.

Rang hospital back today to say I was concerned that as my waters were buldging the pressure opened up my cervix and that I thought once they had broken it closed back up.
They confirmed that was possible but still won't have me back in to double check my waters, or even scan to see if they are still intact.
They want baby out within 48 hours if waters have gone but if they won't check me again they won't book me in to be induced.
So now I'm worried........
 
Claire, how about ringing your normal midwife and explain what's happened? Did you ring antenatal assessment or l and d?

I've rang doctors and midwife is on holiday so can't speak to her.
I went into assessment yesterday and we called again today. They are still adamant that I stay at home and just go in if any more waters come out.
I'll give it till tonight and if nothing happenes I'll see if they will check me again.
 
Has anyone had diarrhea? Sorry for the TMI but it started yesterday and has not let up. The urgency hits me fast and I have to run. Is there anything I can take to help?
 
When mine went leaked last time, they said I had 4 days of leaking before any risk of infection. When I first went in they told me it was just discharge, but I rang them the next day again as it was still there and luckily they went in the lift on the way to the ward.

Do you have a no. for your local community midwives team? Mine is listed in the back of the notes.

It could just be your body getting ready for labour!
 
Sorry have been mia lately...Andrew is doing great I am still amazed he was inside me for 9 months! I hope all you ladies are doing well!!!
 
Well it's my turn tomorrow morning Riley will be here :)

I'm still sick so ill get them to make sure it's nothing worse and dh is already on my nerves this morning!
 
Well, ladies, today's the day. Gonna start the different induction things the midwife prescribed in 20 minutes! The black and blue cohosh is supposed to be particularly effective in inducing labor in post date women. Not particularly excited about the castor oil as it causes diarrhea, but she wants to try everything all at once to give me the best chance at success, so I'm just gonna go with it. I'll post throughout the day to let you know what's working. Maybe if it works for me, it'll work for you, melly.
 
Good luck brier, I'm being induced at 8 am tomorrow anyway, and my midwife would have a fit if I took caster oil, its not recommended here.
 
It will just be on your facebook page not in the b n b group bit, thats if you are friends with her?
