waters broke! are these contractions?!

[DaniJade1990]

Hey everyone, I'm 39+4 and my waters broke at around half 12. I've been to the hospital, they've sent me back home and told me if nothing happens within 24hrs I need to be admitted so they can accelarate labour! I've been getting pains every ten-fifteen minutes which are only lasting around 10-15seconds and they're like really bad period pains but are not excruciatingly painful! Do these sound like contractions?

Well... yes, they do sound like contractions.

Have your waters defintely gone?
Are you timing contractions?

If you have a TENS machine, stick it on you

How far are you from the hospital?

Did they examine you>?

how exciting!

Yes my love, they are contractions.. Baby soon!

I sounded very clinical, sorry

if you can sleep now, do. Rest rest rest.
and est.

:D

They didn't examine as they were pretty sure my waters had gone it was gushing all over the bed and my pants and knickers were soaked (sorry tmi!) Just sent me home told to come back when I'm in established labour! Only five mins frm the hospital ahhhhh so excited/scared/nervous!x

How are you feeling now ?

Rest if you can now - early stage can sometimes take a while

oooh good luck!!

oooh... good luck sweetheart and wish you all the very best!!!! Keep us informed on how it goes when you are a mummy and have time!

how excited definitely sounds like labour! congratulations xx
