SESthebrave live induction birth thread - waters are gone!

[SESthebrave]

Hoping for my VBAC but 40+12 so come in for induction. Because of previous CS, no prostin. They've just broken my waters - MW couldn't do it as cervix posterior so consultant came, gave me gas & air to use, tugged cervix forward and broke them!

Now just waiting to see if contractions start!

Woooo!! Come on BabySes!!

Soo very excited for you!!

are you mobile Ses? I found moving my hips round/back & forth after waters had gone started me in labour :)

Not mobile at the moment as on monitor to see how baby is responding and to see if I contract at all. MW did say they'd take me off the monitor in a bit though so I can go for a walk.

I'm here! Saw on fb wagon page good luck Ses! :) :) how exciting!

oh yay for waters gone! Come on little on! Praying for contractions to come very quickly SES

I am going to be watching this all afternoon

Good luck hope it'll be quick and not too painful

Thanks :)

DH appears to have fallen asleep in the corner but that's fine, I don't need him at the moment!

hope they get you off the monitor soon, they're no good for helping labour progress! :)

Good Luck!

Can you sit on a ball whilst on the monitor? That might help!

It's a shame you can't move around while being monitored.

Am off monitor, now just trying to control waters going everywhere when I stand up! Then off for a walk.

MW said if no contractions by 3.15, will talk about drip then.

sounds like they're trying to move you along pretty swiftly, so hopefully you'll have a baby by tomorrow :)

and get a big pad in your pants and get wiggling woman!!

Thinking positive contraction thoughts here for you.

hooray for the live thread!

Agree with the others get moving if you are comfortable to do so. Sideways steps up the stairs are good... :)

Pad in place (2nd as 1st didn't last long) and off for a walk. Will check in again in a bit!

keep walking around - keep it as natural as you can for as long as poss.

don't disappear for too long or i'll wet myself with excitement that you're pushing! haha!!

I think I might be coming out in sympathy braxton hicks

I hope the walk helps.

Sending you contraction vibes...... good luck!

Yay good luck

Eeek! Good luck!

Hi ses exciting

Went for a walk downstairs and back. Waters keep on coming...!
Now got dull period pain that's definitely there but dull and definitely not contractions as such.

Not sure whether you're into this, but you could try some visualisation as you walk. I've been doing Hypnobirthing and find it really good.

Visualise your baby moving down to meet you and your cervix opening up like a flower!

Might sound stupid but worth a try!
