Well, this is my second baby and def all pregnancies are different! First time around contractions came first and now waters have gone...since this morning been trickling out and filling up the pad. Already been to hospital and they offered to induce me now or wait 24 hours to see if it starts naturally. I opted to wait....cross fingers it happens naturally in the next few hours. Induction booked for tomorrow 7:45am!

So far, felt some tightening in belly, but not actual strong contractions! So will take a walk with my mom in the park to hopefully get things going. Its a beautiful day out!!

Good luck! I hope things start progressing naturally for you sooner rather than later.

I'm awaiting the arrival of first baby who was due yesterday and showing no sign of coming anytime soon...

Keep up the gentle walking and have a good bounce on a birth ball if you have one.

Won't be long till you meet your new family addition Grin

Thanks :) took walk and weather is amazing out! Some tightening, but no strong contractions yet. Will walk some more after a couple of tv episodes. Good luck to you as well! First time around is so excited bc everything is new! Enjoy it! Second time around exciting too, but nothing like a first :)

Thanks :) had a dream birthing experience! Waters completely went in evening, contractions followed. Went straight to hospital and was 4cm. Requested epidural and was coping well. Got it right away and baby born 4 hours later :)

Thanks all :) I'm now not scared to have a third...well, as long as it goes like the second birth! Trick is - go to hospital ASAP! At least for me...glad I listened to husband and went shortly after contractions began - because I progress fast!
