Abandoning the FORT!!! My water broke!  

post #1 of 33
Thread Starter 
Right when I find Zen. Had a lovely 3 hour nap, sat up on the edge of the bed, heard a pop, but thought yeah right...8 more days. Went to kitchen for juice. Promptly "watered" my maxipad, thru my undies and pants and down my leg. About 15 min ago. Called dh he's on his way home from work (thank God here in town) Called my mom-she'll be here in a couple hours to help with kids. Called mw's, they havent called back yet. What's left to do? Sit on the yoga ball half nekkie and put out the msg to my mdc friends :P

My water has NEVER broken before labor kicks off. This is so flippin weird walking around leaking lol. What the heck do I put under me? I don't wanna wade thru all my towels, or sit on the toilet, but this is an undoubtable huge leak!

(oh, mild contrax, as I type...roughly 3-5 min apart but like 10 sec long...more like braxton hicks, and been having them like that pretty much all day, not much more noticable than normal. And the water is clear with a bit of mucous-Im thinking chunks of plug-yum) I'm starving...gonna streak to the kitchen will check in later.

mw's swung by just now, baby is managing wonderful through contrax. They are still around 4 min apart but getting up to about a minute long. Im taking one or two good breaths at the peak, but other than that, chatty and wishing dh would pedal to the medal. The mw checked one of the chux pads I leaked all over, and said the fluid is the perfect color. She also found a couple little chunks of vernix...he's melting!!! Clear goop too...something about mucous plug and all kinds of good things. Yay baby Ollie!

She said not to wait too long to call them back, probably in about 3-4 hours by her guess. She wants time to make up my bed and set up the tub. I hate trying to time when to call...

argh! that one was a bear...and I hear dh home...check in laters

YAY!!! :

Lots of ELVs and : comin' your way mama!

And don't forget to vote in the "did your water break" poll!

If you're still leaking, I stuffed prefolds in my undies which caught most of it ...

contrax picking up a bit. What I have learned in the last hour: Toilet contractions SUCK. Enya rocks! Took a shower, am going to braid my hair and then these are requiring a lil more focus. DH is here, but all over lol
