Yay yay yay!!! I'm going to wait it out for a bit at home before heading to the hospital since I don't have any contractions right now, but the labor process has begun for me- finally!!!
Yay for you! My water broke at 4:30pm and I'm still not having any contractions. Doct said I can wait at home until 4:30am before heading over if contractions don't start before then. Gonna try a long walk, raspberry tea and bouncing on a ball in hopes of getting contractions started on their own so they don't have any reason to give me any inducers.

My midwife gave me the same timeline- we're to head to the hospital by 7:30 tomorrow morning if nothing happens (12 hours after it broke). I tried to to go to sleep, but between being so excited, and fluid leaking out constantly, it's kind of hard to sleep. I'm on my 3rd pair on undies despite wearing pads!!
Whoever asked me what I was doing- we were out to dinner!! Thank goodness I didn't have the "pop and gush" water-breaking experience, or that would have been horribly embarassing. I got up to use the ladies room and felt a trickle, and thought maybe I was peeing- although I haven't had that happen at all since being pg. Went to the bathroom and found a little puddle- definitely not pee. I had a pad with me, so we just scooted home as fast as we could and called the answering service.
Things are picking up- I think contractions are starting thank goodness. Drinking some tea now and hoping I can maybe go back to bed.... we'll see.
Yeah, trying to fall asleep was hard but I managed to get in a few hours. Contractions are finally picking up steam, gonna make some breakfast for MH and I and then hitting the road. Super excited. Hope you were able to get some rest and good luck today.
