ok ladies, gotta problem. dd still co sleeps with me and every few months wets the bed. No biggie, I've always woken up right away, usually before she even finishes pee'ing because she's getting me wet since she sleeps snuggled up to me. Last night I was out cold from exhaustion the last few days have been so busy. I slept though the night and don't remember even waking up once to pee. I woke up seriously groggy trying to figure out what the noise was that woke me up, turns out its my the alarm clock to remind me to get up and take my Iron. Get up and go turn it off (keep it in the bathroom or I just turn it off and go back to sleep) and realize I'm wet. So I change my clothes and hear dd yelling "mom! I wet the bed!" We get her changed too, never occurred to me it might have been ME that wet the bed. This was at 5am, I'm not about to change the sheets at this hour and its a huge wetspot, not like I can just do the gross thing of just throwing several towels over it and going back to bed and dealing with it in the morning. So we go crawl into her twin bed (that was fun, 38 weeks prego and a 5 yr old in a twin) I wake up again at 7am and go pee and realize my panties are pretty darn wet in the middle and that's when it occurs to me how big that spot on the bed was. So I go check our clothes from earlier and there both equally wet so no help there. I smell everything and it smells a bit like popcorn to me (had a really garlicky dinner). ok, so guess were gonna have to wait and see, well, I haven't had any leaking issues at all so far and now it appears I have developed a small leak of some sort because I'm noticing it on the 3rd pair of panties this morning, feeling pretty crampy and already had a few strong contractions but no real pain with them, just like really really strong BH. Baby is very low, no doubt about it she's sitting on my cervix right now (although she is very posterior). So... who wet the bed? Me or dd?! You would think I would wake up if my water broke but I was out of it. L&D is an hour away and my sitter is at church and we don't know my GBS status so I don't want anyone poking around there anyway. (was + with dd)
What's funny is the timing, I had planning on drinking cumin tea this morning to see if we might get things jump started since Sun/Monday at the only days everyone is available and I put in the hypnobabies Birth CD last night which comes with a strong warning not to listen to it until your at least 37 weeks because it can cause you to go into labor. Maybe it worked?

Sometimes it can take a while before contractions really get started. I didn't even start feeling mine until 10 hours after my water broke, and I didn't even realize they were contractions until they hooked me up to the monitors at the hospital (I was only 29 weeks, so we had to go in), and the nurse said "Do you feel something funny every now and then?", and I said yes. She said those were contractions. 
: Only 10% will cross react and i've taken both without a problem in the past. I'm going to call my family Dr tomorrow and see if I can get in to see her and get the script.
: I know fluoroquinolones are off limits, but I think tetracycline can be taken with relative safety for less than three weeks (The Baby Book, Sears and Sears) and it is one of the more powerful ones. Hope this helps. Sorry you're feeling
