Because we all love a live birth thread...

[BlueBananas]

Sat on my birthing ball in hospital after my waters went with a pop at home 3 hours ago
Only 3cm dilated so a way off yet
Looks like I'm in for long night, amuse me MN

Wow, what a thread (just reading now!), I welled up a lot little bit. Pregnancy hormones! Congratulations to you both!

Aahhh Sir that made me cry a little bit! Thankyou so much!
And thankyou all for the lovely messages, I'm reading and re-reading them all, they are lovely and do mean a lot

Oh no - no tears allowed! Honestly, you should be immensely proud of yourself

blue* my waters went 3 weeks ago 36 hrs before birth and although I wasn't induced and birth 3 Saturdays ago today was brilliant textbooketc - we were kept in for 7 days for DS to have antibiotics through a cannula anyway as they don't wait for blood results with newborns. Halfway through it turned out he didn't have an infection after all, and I lost it, was getting cabin fever. Then on, DH and I alternated in going out , I drove hone a few times got some air, and we did our time and came home. It was so bad staying in, although we had a private room. My sympathies

Congrats
