Well, I believe my water has broken UPDATE birth story post 96

[Kelly1101]

And now this.

Well, I think it's broken, but I can't think of anything else that could be going on. It's definitely not pee (clear, and no pee smell), and it gushing out of me to the point of soaking towels that I'm sitting on.

Interesting.




I'm still a little in denial.


I'm 36 weeks and 2 days, so this is a bit early, although not so early as to scare me too much...

Um, further updates as events warrant.

Woot! My midwife said any time after 36 weeks is okay! Hope your bean comes out quickly, without too much hassle and healthy! :

[j_p_i]

Wow! You'll definitely have to keep us updated, it sounds like your water has broken!

[Amydoula]

Wow! Good luck on your delivery!

[marmo]

Oooooh! Here's to having a quick and easy labor, and a beautiful, healthy babe!!

[SunCB]

Hoping all is progressing quickly and we get to hear of a wonderful birth very soon!

[lotus.blossom]

Wow, Kelly!! Didn't think you would be the next to go! I hope that your ctx start up and that you can avoid any interventions! Did you call your doc yet?
Some people "fudge" the amount of time their water is broken to buy more time.

Goodluck and breathe!!

Sounds exactly like when my water broke with my first. Gushing and towels. Happy birthing vibes to you!

[~Katie~]

Hope everything is going well and you're laboring away, can't wait to hear a birth announcement! Lots of ELVs :

[russianthistle]

ha! a little envious over here! I was thinking maybe today would be the day for me, too!

Good luck, mama!

Wishing you peaceful labor vibes! My MW also said 36 weeks was fine as long as dates were on

[CookAMH]

Yay! That does sound like your water broke. Here comes another babe!
I hope your labor goes super smooth.
You get to meet your babe soon!!

[surprisedmama]

I hope its not pee if you are soaking towels. Sending you some great labour vibes.

If you have time I would start looking up induction and proof about not inducing and length of time your water can be broken before induction. If that is something you feel strong about. It never hurts to be informed. It can give you something to focus on while waiting for labour to start. I only say this because my friends broke 3 weeks early and the hospital kept changing their policies based on staffing and rooms. They ended up waiting to induce her for 3 days she was fine and so was baby.

Good luck mama.

Yeah!

My m/w will comfortably assist a homebirth as of 36 weeks (that's me today, yeah!). She said that, while 37 is considered by the medical community as "full term" she feels like babies born any time after 36 weeks are usually just fine. Good luck!

Keep us posted on how everything goes!
