DB in NJ Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I hope things are progressing for you by now, Aubrey. With my first, his head was so low down that he was blocking the water from coming out, so it kind of just leaked every now and then. The only time I was *sure* the water had broken was when I laid down flat (which isn't exactly comfy). I'll be praying!!!! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 One more thought, and it's a biggie.... DOES YOUR DH KNOW HOW TO POST HERE?!?! I mean, it is of the utmost importance that the little one's cyber aunties find out every detail (well, maybe not every...) ASAP!!!! :D Go, Aubrey, Go!!!!!! Woohoo!!!

I mean, it is of the utmost importance that the little one's cyber aunties find out every detail (well, maybe not every...) ASAP!!!! :D Go, Aubrey, Go!!!!!! Woohoo!!! I already told her that it's a rule to keep us informed, so she has to keep the laptop on her tummy and type in progress in-between contractions! So hopefully she'll follow the HIVE rules on that! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Sure! Call her and let her know your water is broken. That way she can be prepared if you need to call her "for real" later on. You know, gas up the car, replenish her bag, pack a snack, get her affairs in order. :D I'd call. It's a courtesy. You should call. :001_smile: Dh would like to give you positive rep. However, the system says I already like you too much. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Call her and let her know what is happening and leave it up to her! CALL HERTake it from the lady who delivered her first baby in the hallway of the hospital CALL HER!!! Hey. You're yelling. I'm just following hive rules about posting here first. (Y'all did mean before mw, right?) No, Alphabet Pam convinced me that calling would be polite. If she needs a shower or gas or something. She's not invited over yet, or anything, because I'm not in labor & don't need to be watched, but if she'd like to squeeze in a cup of tea before we call & a pre-call would help, that would be fine. You have to understand. My previous births were so fast that when we called (w/ #1 & 2), she tried to tell us to wait & even ignoring that advice, we barely made it. Having *any* warning is...weird. W/ #3, we called, & she didn't ask any questions. She just met us at the birth center, made up a bed for us & one for herself & said to wake her up when we *were* sure. No problem.

Eh, I like you too much, too. This is going to be the easiest delivery EVER. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lori in tx Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 3 hrs, 19 min, 4 hrs. umm take it from someone whose shortest labor was 45 min (SHHHH)keep her updated we would hate for dh to have to deliver your baby. I know I would not want my dh to deliver me, of course he would be shouting "close your legs!" How do I know that because he did with my first one right before the ambulance came (SHHHH)keep her updated for you dh's sake!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh, this is so exciting!!!! I feel like we are ALL having a baby!!!! (But Aubrey has to do all the work). I think we should get to name him/her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 So all it took was for me to be away from this place for the day for things to get going?

reservejagmom Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Chiming in kinda late here, but, yes, I awoke at 6 am a split second before Niagara Falls flooded the bed the day my son was born ... no popping sensation at all and no labor until hours later when the doc put some hormone pill up inside me to get my labor going ... This is so exciting!!! :001_smile::001_smile: Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoplayer Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Aubrey, I've been in a cooking marathon in my kitchen (at least it feels that way), checking in periodically to see whether you had baby news yet, and now all of the sudden I see a seven-page thread! I just wanted to say that I am praying for you and your precious little one to have a safe, healthy delivery! (And here's another vote for calling your mw! I'm sure your dh is a very talented and capable man, but let's not push things too far.:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Well, it looks like Aubrey hasn't posted in awhile. I think that's good. Maybe she's too busy. I hope she called the midwife. She must've by now..... And did she post that one of her labor's was 19 minutes?!!!! I understand (a bit) about wanting to do it herself, but with labors as short as those, I would've wanted the midwife camped out there as soon as possible. Good luck, Aubrey! (((((hugs))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom to Aly Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Mine just sort of started leaking with my dd--a little, then I went to the toilet, then more, but never a big gush or pop. If you are having leaking without feeling like peeing, I'm sure it is that. Go, Go, Go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell in SC Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm so glad I decided to get on-line this weekend! (I usually only surf during the week) Aubrey-I've been thinking about you all day wondering if you had that baby yet. Hopefully it's a good sign that you abruptly stopped posting!!!! Hoping you have a safe delivery (but not till the mw makes it)!!!! hugs shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS in NZ Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 With my first, I just leaked slowly all day long. I didn't think it was my water but I went into labor that evening and the nurses said that it was my water. I didn't know it could happen that way! Best wishes to you and your family, Aubrey!!!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoplayer Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ummm, Audrey, we know you're busy, but you've been off for awhile. . . . Could you show your mw how to post some updates, perhaps? :D Just think of all the great rep you will have once you post pictures and stats on the baby! :) In all seriousness, lots of prayers going up for you and your little one!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeOnTheRanch Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 'Cause I think mine just did. But it's always come WITH labor & the popping thing. (Ya don't want to spell that one wrong, lol.) Very weird. #1 broke during pushing stage. #2 I was sitting in church, very uncomfortable, and I got up to walk around a bit. I noticed the back of my dress was drenched. I went on about my day. 13 1/2 hours later I woke up in labor, babe was born about 6 hours later. #3 broke during pushing. #4 the dr. tried to break when labor stalled. Nothing came out because the head was right there, but labor did start up again. I don't remember a POPPING sensation for any of them. I hope this is it for you! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in CA Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 yep, just a slow leak during the night - then baby :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I must be the odd one out...my water only broke on its own with my youngest, and I did feel a popping sensation. Contractions started within 15 minutes, and he was born less than 3 hours later. Hoping that you are about to meet your new little one, if you haven't already! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yep. I was sick and coughing a lot and I, um, sprung a slow leak. I didn't think my water broke because I was only at 36 weeks. But that was it. Are you having a baby today?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
