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

[Southsearocks]

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?

Pray the insurance works out for us!!

Ah, what a disappointment southsea!

You sound in good spirits about it though.

Good luck on meeting your little Pebble asap xx

Southsea we too have become practiced at lurking waiting.

Until tomorrow then. Sleep well :)

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Hope you get a good night's sleep.

Oh bless you. Hope you manage some rest tonight

Hi Southsea, I posted early on in your thread and have been checking in regularly.

You have been amazing, both in your attitude towards dealing with your situation (including your DH's incident) and in keeping your sense of humour. Well done!

Pebble will be worth every single second!

Best wishes.

Whyso x

ooohhh I have been waiting all day for news...... so excited for you, fingers crossed for all tomorrow

Well, who wants to give birth on a monday anyway??!

Good luck for tomorrow! Hope your baby will be on it's way soon x

Good luck for tomorrow :)

good luck for tomorrow

Oh, poor you. Difficult when you get all worked up for it.

Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Make the most of your last night of peace! Good luck to you and your dp, come on Pebble!

Well, shoot. Ok, well, that's me off to bed then (just kidding).
Bugger, bugger, bugger.
I'm telling you, it's the post-Superbowl baby rush, all these ladies were keeping the cork in!

Ok, so tonight, make sure you do something JUST FOR YOU. It'll be the last evening to yourself for a while.
I'll be around to chat :)

Better they start you off in the morning! More chance of being able to sleep that night! Hope you have a great night's sleep. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. x

Oh no that's no good. Seems as though you are keeping your spirits up about it.

Will check in again tomorrow. Sleep well tonight, might be the only good night you get for a long while

Wishing you a great nights sleep, and best wishes for a wonderful smooth running labour tomorrow.

Aaah Southsea - hope it all goes smoothly tomorrow!

MNHQ - could we remove the 1000 post limit on this thread??

Anyone know how to get them to read this? Imagine - southsea gives birth comes to announce and gets 'this thread is too large to accept new messages'!

Whatever - I was just about to post that too! I can easily see this reaching 1,000 before baby even starts crowning!

Southsea - Ah well, 8th February sounds like a nicer birthdate anyway

I've tried reporting my post - see if that works!

Hope you manage to get some rest tonight Southsea, although I know it will be hard with everything running through your head. Good luck tomorrow, will be thinking of you and Pebble (and your DH, how's his foot btw?) while I'm MNing at work

PS Will report this post and ask MNHQ if they could remove the cap.

Good luck for tomorrow, I really enjoyed reading these messages, hope this wont be your 1st and last....:):)

Why don't we say that when the thread gets near the end, whoever is on at that time starts a new thread? Call it Good luck to Southsearocks tomorrow or something. :)

Um, shoot, no idea why this just bolded [idiot emoticon]

Best of luck Southsearocks! Yet another lurker who has been following your story. Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight xx

Good luck Southsea!

Should I start another thread? I feel like I'm hogging 'Pregnancy'!

Ok, here goes.....
