UPDATE: Water breaking question

[kristie]

No, you don't.

My water broke really late. It was the last thing that happened before I was ready to push.

Oh, reading comprehension.  :? You can leak fluid before anything else happens.

Ahh!! Keep us updated.

[picksthemusic]

Exciting! I hope this is it for you!

[Stingyshark]

OMG! Baby time?

This sounds similar to my experience. Lost my mucous plug in the week prior to when I sprang a leak. It wasn't a gush, but definitely more than my normal, abundant discharge. And it didn't reoccur immediately, though several hours later it became apparent that it was indeed my water. Contractions didn't start until 9 hours later...DS was born 6 hours after that.

I remember that feeling of peeing vs. labor!

When do you call your midwife? Same as the hospital at 5 minutes apart or before that?

Does she set up the bath or do you guys do that?

Any hope I had for a home birth for my second went out the window with the birth of D. I will love vicariously through you, lol.

Yay - so exciting! I'm glad you got some sleep. That's awesome. Do you have any hot water? Try to take breaks from cooking. Gravity helps the process but being on your feet for hours at a time could be rough.
