My waters just broke!!!

[FirstTimeMumma]

Its time, at last! Waters broke at 5:15.. Feeling a bit crampy(period like) but not much else happening, water is still coming away. Phoned triage and they told me to call back at 7 and they would assess wether i should come in tonight or not! Will i be meeting my baby soon? How long before they admit me to ramp things up? First timer here!!! 40+5 btw, so ready to have this baby!!!

Congratulations - well done all of you.

It is just hormones (mostly :) ) Get those around you to spoil you rotten and cater for your every tiny whim1

Enjoy the adventure

[Grannylipstick]

Congratulations on your new little girl. Love the name. Sleep as much as you can. Forget housework shopping ironing etc. It will all wait.

[Markingthehours]

Yes First Time just hormones. Is your milk in? Usually comes in about three days after birth... so would be about todayish?

Try not to worry, ris there anything specific bothering you (apart from no sleep and soreness!)?

[Dogsmom]

Congratulations

I can't wait until my little girl is here but have to wait until March!

[FirstTimeMumma]

Thanks everyone! Feeling super paranoid and emitional, its just hormones right?

[regnamechange]

Why not have a bath. I mean its not like baby isnt used to swimming around for the last 9 months is it?. just be careful what you do with the soap, dont want baby getting it in its eyes do we.

[HeffalumpsAndGoldenWoozles]

Congratulations!! Enjoy your cuddles :)

Just to update girls. Just got home with my beautiful daughter Amelia Grace, who was born 27/09/12(41weeks) at 12:02pm by EMCS weighing 7lbs 1.5oz! 3 day labour which was exhausting, dilated all the way to 9cm but she was back to back and i failed to progress any further so had to go to theatre. So worth it though. Going to cuddle in on our first night home to saturday night tv

[TheLaineyWayIsEssex]

How are you doing now FTM? hope all is well

[AdiVic]

How exciting - it's wednesday now so you must have your bubba:) Let us know how it went and tell us about your little one! Since having my 2 I'm as soppy as, welling up now!!! Congratulations, hope all well x

Baths are safe. The water can't get up there!

[Badgerina]

Wonderful! Try to rest. My waters broke at the beginning of my first labour and I wish I'd rested instead of tramping around the park GOOD LUCK!

[SarryB]

Good luck! How exciting, hope everything goes well!!

[wildpoppy]

Good luck. I was induced 24 hours after waters breaking. Come back and update us.

[Princesslovelyboo]

Good luck.

[ShowOfHands]

Just don't use bubble bath.

[tiredteddy]

More good luck coming your way then. Hope everything goes well and baby is here soon!

[FirstTimeMumma]

Thanks for all the lovely replies girls! Just to update, been to hospital and they confirmed my waters have gone, been sent home for things to progress on there own and if nothing happens booked in for an induction at 8am on friday! Starting to have some increasingly intense contractions now so hoping this is it i asked if i could have a bath and she said yes thats fine. I was always under the impression you couldnt after the membranes had ruptured!

[LizaTarbucksAuntie]

Good luck - how very exciting

[MrClaypole]

Ooh how exciting for you! You are going to meet your baby very soon

Not wanting to worry you but my DS arrived 57 minutes after waters broke and first contraction!!!!!

Very best of luck!
