Yesterday at my scan (I'm 34 weeks but have epilepsy so extra scans) they found that there was very little fluid around the baby, then they did a test that suggested my waters have broken. I've also lost my mucus plug so they're fairly certain that's what's happened.
Baby is measuring a really good size (he's off the scale) so they're not too worried about him coming early and have said I can have an induction, but for now I'm at home taking antibiotics and feeling nervous while I monitor my temperature etc.
Has this happened to anyone else? Did the baby come early or did they still hang around? Did you cope okay? Does it make the birth different?
I had to finish work yesterday so I could rest from now on (but it was only a week earlier than I had planned) so today is my first day at home on my own and I'm pretty nervous!
