I think my water broke  

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
I was getting up from bed to pee just before 5am and I felt a couple of gushes. I ran to the bathroom and my pad, underwear and pants were soaked. I peed and in the toilet there were some white flecks (vernix?). I've had some small gushes since then, but it's not a steady leak or anything. The contractions are still sporadic, DH and I are up getting the kitchen ready for the girls' breakfast and just picking up, just in case. Too soon to call the backup babysitter and m/w. Wish me luck!

I hope this is it for you! I would think all those artifacts you passed might be something! WOW! How very exciting!
I wish you all the best and look forward to your updates!!

Oh, and a couple hours before my water broke, I had gone to the bathroom and there was a humongous glob of mucous, like monstrously huge, enough to change a pad (again! I went through so many pads yesterday/this morning). It was disgusting!

I'm still waiting for true labor to start. This is a little ridiculous. I'm 99% sure my water broke, and I've been having mucousy stuff all morning. Contractions are still strong, but not regular. I was in the birth pool earlier, but got out b/c it wasn't going anywhere. Whoever said the 3rd birth is a wild card wasn't kidding! My other two were 5 hours (from AROM) and 2 hours (completely natural).

I hope you have that baby soon! It's truly wonderful to be able to hold them in your arms instead of your belly!

My water was broken for 36 hrs before true labor started (and that was with 2 sessions of acupuncture induction and a little labor cocktail to help things get rolling)... hang in there, mama.
