I'm 38 + 6 today. Lost my mucus plug on Wednesday. Has some minor cramps once or twice but only for a few minutes then it was gone. Was just retuning from doing the shopping today and has literally just got out the car at the house when my waters went - big style - why did no one tell me it would be quite as much fluid!
Mat assessment asked me to come in for a check - confirmed waters had gone, baby was happy and mw did a sweep and said my cervix was favourable and she expected me to go into full labour myself - that was at 1pm and other than a few contractions and my waters continuing to flow not much is happening - been walking about (we went shopping) bouncing on my birthing ball but not much happening - I've to go back at 12 tomorrow for induction if I've not gone on my own - what else can I do? Should I just try and sleep now since I might not get much rest over the weekend or is there anything else I can do to get things started?
