Waters have broken at 28 weeks - we're in America!

I've come over to the US for a two week holiday to my partner's family. No problems at all in this pregnancy (my first). Then yesterday morning the waters broke! I've been admitted to a local hospital and although me and baby are fine we'll be here for the duration. It's likely to be three months! Baby could come any time between now and full term so we're keeping everything crossed (including my legs of course) it stays in as long as possible. Either way we're not able to fly home for a looong time...

Our baby will be coming back to the UK an American citizen - how about that? Shock Grin Confused

Pray the insurance works out for us!!

Awww shame about the further delay Southsea.
Keep checking for updates
It's amazing how many people are wishing you luck on here...
They should be starting you off soon though, think it's about lunch time there maybe....
Hoping you have a smooth labour
Good luck....again

knittymum · 07/02/2011 16:41

Good luck Southsea! Hopefully by now you'll be nearly being started off. Also, hopefully it'll be as quick as my first was, and you'll have a little one to hold in your arms by tea time! xx

CoffeeGoneColdAgain · 07/02/2011 16:43

Only just seen this thread on active convo's.
JacksMama what a lovely person you are!
All the best Southsea, Hope little Pebble is with you very soon!

mathanxiety · 07/02/2011 16:43

Cervidil can take a while to work sometimes and once it's in there's no turning back. Hope it all goes smoothly.

At least you'll get to have breakfast and lunch under your belt before everything gets under way. Try to relax (easy to say Smile) and consciously focus on different muscle groups -- it's amazing how tense you can become without knowing it.

Good luck.

jasmine51 · 07/02/2011 16:46
