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!!

Go baby Southseas! Smile. If you're still stuck on baby names, knew a girl named: America Grin.

Hello Southsea!

Hello everyone!

I've just remembered what day it is and have popped in to see if there's any news.

Huge congratulations for making it this far, and massive good luck for the next challenge.

I'll be with the others waiting in your virtual hospital waiting room, silently willing and cheering you on, grasping for every sliver of information, and sending huge positive vibes to help you through to the next chapter in life!

We're with you all the way! x

I can't believe how many messages you have had since I checked in yesterday!

If the power of positive thought could be harnessed you'd have the easiest labour ever! Don't you just love MN?

Good luck southsea you've done brilliantly and hope that by now you are holding your LO.

DanJARMouse · 07/02/2011 18:53

Another one who has silently watched this thread over the last few weeks!

Good luck southsea, Im sure all will be fabulous, and Pebble will require the minimum of help once born.

Take care!

Jacksmama · 07/02/2011 18:56

PUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH girl get that baby out! Grin

Sparklies · 07/02/2011 19:34

I bet after all this drama, Pebble refuses to come out and doesn't show up until tomorrow! That's what happened with my own US-drama baby when they tried to induce at 35 weeks and I ended up with an EMCS - although our medical situations are different!

All that time keeping them in, and then they never want to come out after all Wink

kampakat · 07/02/2011 19:38

I have the Wine ready to toast the new arrival...would anyone like to share the bottle as I mustn't drink more than one glass...
