My wife Amy's water broke last night around 2:30am. Contractions havn't really started yet, except for a few mild one's here and there.

Midwife said to try the breastpump for about 10 minutes. She did it for 5, and will try again in an hour or so.

Keep us in your thoughs and prayers that everything goes smoothly.

She is 38 weeks and 1 day with our first.

I just went through this at 38 wks 6 days with ds2. It was 36 hours before labor started (with the help of acupuncture induction and a castor oil-verbena-almond butter-apricot juice cocktail my midwife prescribed). Labor was quick once it started (4.5 hrs.). Don't get discouraged if things don't get rolling right away - amniotic fluid continuously replenishes itself if your wife stays hydrated!
