Wez, baby will be fine. Remember he doesn't know any different. He'll be all snug and happy in there. xxxx
 
Wez, glad you got an induction date. It's good they realized they can't let you go on like this forever. :hugs: We're here for you!
 
My water broke! Just when I gave up on induction myths. LOL I'm waiting for the after-hours answering service to call me back. I don't have any contractions yet. Is this normal?

I have a feeling my body did it to ruin my husband's game night.:haha: Just kidding, but it's funny nonetheless.
 
Omg so exciting! With Harry my contractions started about 15 minutes after my waters went but apparently it can take a couple of days. Good luck! X
 
am laying here waiting for Sophie to wake up so I can empty one of my massively engorged and aching boobs..... she's due a feed so hopefully not long!
 
Wow BV! What induction methods did you use? I wish my water would break to get this labor moving faster!

Forgot to mention earlier, Katie is posterior again (or perhaps always was, not sure if they just messed up last time) so I'm in for a long labor unless she flips again! Thankfully after getting no sleep last night, I got four hours this afternoon so I'm feeling much better (besides these terrible cramps - they go all the way to my feet!)

My Dr. gave me some Ambien today to help me rest. Good luck to the both of us, I have a feeling I'm going have to be induced to get him out. I don't know if he's posterior or just being stubborn!

OMG, That's awesome, BV! :hugs: You must tell me your methods of induction. I've tried sex, pineapple, lots and lots of walking. I'm desperate!
 
Thanks, ladies! I heard back from the MW and she said I can go into the hospital now but it might get boring or I can wait until contractions start. If they don't start tonight she said to meet her at the hospital at 7am tomorrow to check me. She said to try to nap. I don't think that's going to happen, but we'll see. She also said to check that there's no blood or color in the amniotic fluid and make sure I still get movement. So far so good.

I'm looking over my bags and waiting for hell to break loose. Then I'm going to call the MW to meet us at the hospital. We arranged for the in-laws to puppy sit, so we should be set.

DM, I hope Sophie wakes up to feed. I can only imagine how much pressure there is in your boobs. I would totally pump right now if I would be in your shoes.

SB, last thing I tried today was bouncing around in the pool doing squats. I was also cooking in a hot kitchen. I don't think that's what did it, but who knows...There was also a ton of movement, so I have to wonder if she broke her own water.
 
Ooh exciting BV! Wow it's all happening... Keep us posted!

Wez, that's great you got a date for induction, and let's hope Jonathan decides to make an appearance before then.

Dm, hugs for the achey boobies, aah some more fun bodily changes to look forward to!

Night night all. Well, the rain never came tonight and it still feels very hot, so I'm really hoping not to have another hot sticky one like last night... :(

Perhaps will wake up to more baby news! Xx
 
BV - the day before my labor started I spent two hours in the pool doing squatting motions and laps. Maybe that did some good for both of us!

Wez, if it makes you feel any better, my birthday is the 6th and I was always fond of the date. It's a nice birth date! Hope you get some relief sooner though!

Afm, I've already been on a long walk, took a relaxing nap and bounced on my ball for about an hour. Just waiting for things to happen sure is boring!

Aww, that would be awesome if I had him on your birthday, my best friend is rooting for the 30th, her birthday. I've done the same, long walks, a nap and some bouncing. I feel like time is dragging by. :nope:
 
I'm sure - I've only been in this for a day and a half and it feels like forever!

Kinda funny though - the three beach bump women that live on the US east coast are all in labor right now! Lol
 
OMG, your right. How funny. What are the odds? I wish my water would break though.
 
Hang in there, Wez! You'll get through it :)

SB, it is funny that we're all in the same boat. We can do this :)

TMI alert:
Mummy, it's a weird thing, but it happened just as I got up from going to the bathroom. I had wiped and just pulled my pants up and was about to wash my hands when I felt liquid gushing down. It just kept going, so I waddled over to the office where my husband was on his computer and asked him to smell it and tell me if it's pee. We walked back to the bathroom and I stepped in the tub. Good thing too because it dripped all down my leg. I told him to get me fresh undies and a pad. He was so funny trying to figure out where to find them and how to put the pad on the underwear. I was standing there in the tub laughing my butt off. Since then more has been gushing out. It feels so weird. I've been trying to pack the last items off the list. Meanwhile, my husband is out getting iced coffee and gassing up the car. It's been an hour and no contractions...we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, the baby is kicking lots, so at least she's okay. I'm trying to settle down and see if I can nap, but I don't know if I can. I'm pacing around like a lion in a cage thinking of what else I can stuff in those hospital bags.
 
Good luck, BV! Hope those contractions start soon!

I just got off my ball, walked up and down the stairs 28 times and now back on the ball. I'm pretty desperate to get some serious contractions going! I'm also now chugging water, as the stairs took quite a lot out of me!

Wish something would start soon, I'm dreading letting DH go to work tomorrow so far away when this has been going on for so long already. Might just be wishful thinking, but I'm reluctant to let him go!
 
SB, wow, you've been busy exercising. That's impressive. I hope it works for you. I can understand why you would be reluctant to let your husband go to work.

It's so silly, but I can't tell if I'm having contractions. I'm having some period type pains low and they've been getting sharper. I don't even know how to time them. I'm thinking if I'm sitting here wondering if they're contractions, they're probably BH.
 
Good luck, BV! Everyone tells me you'll "know" when it's a contraction. Truth be told, if my water broke, my happy butt would be at the hospital.
 
BV - I had the same problem yesterday. I had so much cramping, stabbing, shooting pains, back ache, tailbone pain and tightening that it was really hard to pick out contractions bc it felt like one long pain really. I was told as the labor progresses the contractions will become clearer and more manageable to time out.
 
Wez, I would get my butt to the hospital, but I think I might be waiting there for quite a while. Plus, the weird thing about the place we're going is that you get a two days' stay for a vaginal delivery and if you show up before 11:59pm they count that as day 1. I figure I can hold out till at least midnight and make sure everything's packed. The car is ready to go and everything's loaded.

SB, thanks for the info. I'm guessing it will be easier to time them as they get stronger. Right now my cramps are about 8min apart. I'm going to try to nap a little and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice and support! :) Night ladies!
