I'm 39 weeks tomorrow with my 3rd child. At 2 a.m. last night, my water broke (actually, I think leaked... a lot... is more accurate, since it has continued to leak throughout the day.) I had some ctx, but nothing major, and they got fewer and further between until morning. By 9 a.m. they had completely stopped. My m/w came over around noon, and baby and I both checked out with flying colors. Just wait, she said.
Then around 1ish, I had this really bad episode of vomiting and diarrhea. I felt like I was in transition, only I hadn't been having any ctx. My m/w came over and checked on me again. Baby's HB and my BP were both totally fine. We deduced that I likely had become dehydrated, and that seemed to make sense, as the more water I drank, the better I felt. Just in case the problem was an early infection, she told me to take my temperature and pulse every hour. Both have been completely fine throughout the afternoon and evening. (My water has been totally clear, too.)
It's now 10 p.m. and I'm having VERY mild contractions, which are completely NOT organized -- no real pattern at all. They are anywhere from 3-30 minutes apart, so if anything, this is super early labor. The thing is that this is how I was feeling last night after my water leaked, and still nada.
My other labors were pretty fast and relatively easy. This is my first HB and I really want to let go and have the experience... but I am starting to get anxious. I could really use some reassuring words.
