OMG...I might actually have this baby! *~ Update - post 7 ~*

I was lying in bed reading and just about to go to sleep when.....my water broke Contractions are continuing as they have been for days and days - mild, braxton hicks, no crampiness yet. I'm off to try and get some SLEEP since it's midnight here, though this constant peeing-my-pants feeling is kind of sucky Wish me luck, ladies, and I'll post again in the a.m. if things don't take off sooner than that

Did you have the VE at your MW appt yesterday? I'm trying to decide whether to give in and have one today as I'm only 2 days away from 42weeks now.

Well, real contractions started shortly after my above post...so much for sleeping! After a tough labor and 4 1/2 hours of pushing we welcomed our 8 lb, 10.5 oz son (nameless atm) into the world on 4/28 at 8:24 pm. We are home from the birth center and snuggling in bed for the foreseeable future Birth story to follow...

Thanks for all the well wishes mamas!!

I did...and was 50% effaced, barely a fingertip, and the cervix was so posterior my mw said it was pointed at my kidneys I suspected that b/c i'd been able to reach it the week before and then couldn't anymore earlier this week. I'm glad I held off until I did on the ve, but also glad to have had that baseline when I went in for my first labor check.
