Scared to go out incase waters break

[maybebaby88]

Title says it all really. I'm 9 days overdue atm and going mad just sat at home all day! But I'm really worried that if I go out my waters will break and I'll go into labour. For some reason it makes me feel really anxious, even about just going up to the shop. I was thinking I may go for a drive in a bit and grab a bit of shopping when I'm out but am finding it hard to make myself go. Don't know what I'm asking really, I guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance that it woildn't be so bad!

Also: should I take my hospital notes with me even if I just pop out for an hour?

OP, I know it's different for everyone but I'd take a back to back over normal labour any day if it feels anything like the afterpains! I'm sure baby will make an appearance soon, here's hoping!

My waters breaking was the most satisfying feeling ever; a proper 'pop!' And a tidal wave all over the living room floor, it was lovely

A tidal wave does sound quite satisfying actually. If I was at home it would be alright, I'd hate to have to waddle through the centre of town soaking wet though! Well I was having proper contractions all night with really irregular timings, rang the hospital and they said to wait until I've had 2 hours of 3 contractions every 10 mins. But they disappeared 4 hours ago. Baby changed his mind

It was the best feeling but yeah I wouldn't want it to have happened in public haha. I'm so excited for you, I reckon you'll have a baby by lunchtime tomorrow! Do you know what you're having?
