Becky has been texting me this morning - worried that she thought her waters had broken. She is 36+4 weeks, so I told her to call the hospital for advice. They asked her to go in and take her bag with her. So off she toddled and they examined her - and yes, it was her waters. They told her that they would put her on antibiotics and check her again at 37 weeks if nothing had happened.They may then induce her.
I then got another text which said that the doctor has now decided to treat her as full term - so she has been sent home and if she doesn't go into spontaneous labour after 24 hours, they will induce her!!!
Good luck Becky - hope everything goes well for you!! You'll soon be holding your LO - how exciting!!!
