Holy shit my water just broke

[Cricket0619]

His gone

[bananapancakes]

Crap, hope he can make it back very soon. Good luck to you!

[blushing]

Keep calm. Phone your husband to come home. Phone your mom to come over and be with you. And um, good luck. We here to keep you company.

[smock]

Oh no, I hope your H can get back quickly!

I know you're probably freaking out right now, but some day you are going to tell this story (maybe to your kid!) and laugh. Hugs.

[IndiaInk]

Oh boy! How soon can your husband get home? Your mom is with you, right? Deep breaths! We're here for you.

[timorousbeastie]

Oh no! Now I feel bad for suggesting he switch his interview day! But just try to keep calm, and remember that he most likely has plenty of time to get back before things get serious.

Good luck!

[jene]

It will be ok! How long before your H can get home?

[formerlyak]

Hang in there!! Hopefully you will have a long enough labor for him to get home. My exMIL drove from San Francisco to LA when I was in labor and still had hours and hours to wait before ds was born (just sharing that to keep you hopeful).

[kershnic]

Oh wow! I hope he's in his car on his way back now. Keep breathing, he'll make it!

[Yankees21]

I know your first instinct is probably to panic, but try to stay calm- especially as a first time mom (I think you are?) the statistics show that you have plenty of time. Let us know if you need anything, and keep us posted!

[shelbyann]

He will be back soon! Deep breaths. It's going to be okay!

Are you having contractions?

[catsarecute]

You have time! Stay calm and know that everything will be okay. Your husband will make it back to you and things will go as planned.

Good luck!!!

[lauren170]

Good luck!! Hope your H gets home soon.

[dana2006]

Good luck! Everything will work out!

[heygrey]

good luck! it will be fine!

your h will get home, your mom will be there to help you, and truly if all else fails - 911. someday this will be a great story to tell your baby!

[Cricket0619]

Thanks guys. I'm shaking and dreaming out. My moms on her way, but has to drive 2 hrs and a friend is on her way to bring me in.

[changedname]

Good luck, I hope your DH can turn around and be home quickly. My Ob said average first labours last 12-18 hours so hopefully you have a ton of time.

[MrsDarcy]

I'm sure you've got plenty of time!! He'll surely get the job now, he'll look like such a team player!

[Amy]

It's going to be ok! Have you gotten ahold of him? You've probably got a long time before baby

Good luck!!!

[bk1]

Good luck!! He should have plenty of time to get back. 

[narockshard]

Good luck! Stay calm, everything will work out just fine

[mannah]

I have a magnet on my fridge that says "Dont worry, everything is going to be amazing." Just think good thoughts and let the time pass until you're with your people. You can do this!

[simpsongal]

How exiting! I'm sure you've got time. Good luck!
Also, I'm so jealous

[sh10]

Good luck! Hopefully your DH makes it home soon!

[Cricket0619]

Yeah, he left right away to come. He said traffic is good. Thx again

[Cricket0619]

No contractions at all yet

[pinotgrig]

You've got this - worst case the board will walk you through an at-home birth.

Your mom is on her way and so is your H - this is going to be fine! Take a shower, eat something light, and double check your bags. Once you get done with all that, one of them will be at your house (or super close, at least).

So excited for you - you're going to have an outside baby soon!

I'm jealous too . simpsongal Anything from the membrane stripping?

[D2M]

Ahhhh good luck and safe driving to your husband! So exciting. If it's any consolation re: timing, my sister's water broke and it still took more than 12 hours from water breaking to her delivering my nephew -- and this was her second baby.

[FastHands]

Good luck!! Well you knew it would happen when he's gone. At least the roads/traffic are cooperating. I'm sure he'll be there before anything exciting happens, especially if you aren't having contractions yet.
