1st post and in need of help

I'm usually a reader, not a blogger, but was looking for opinions....

I was due Tuesday (the 24th), with no progress made. We had our dr appt wednesday evening and found we were dialated to 1 cm (finally progress!!!) but we weren't effaced or anything. We went ahead and scheduled our induction for this Monday, going in on Sunday night for cervidil. Yesterday, I started losing my plug (and some today). While sleeping last night, I would wake up occasionally and felt like I was "leaking". Did/does anyone else experience this feeling after losing your plug? I'm worried about leaking fluid but it's not a lot if so, and we'll be checked in 2 days when we go to the hospital. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, should I go in before then, or wait it out? I'd like her to just come out now on her own, but we know how that goes Wink TY in advance!

  • Sounds like your water may have broken.  I'd go in to get checked.  They'd send you back home if it wasn't your water.  Best of luck to you!

  • Call your OB. It's easy for them to check and see if your water is broken (using a pH strip). You can leak and have it be just a little bit - I know from experience!

  • I agree with pp.  Call you OB to check if your water broke.

  • Thanks all! I did call and they sent me to L&D to get tested and nothing. Still only 1 cm dialated and water still in tac...that induction is looking more real everyday. Really wish she'd decide to come on her own, stubborn little thing.

  • I agree.  Call your doctor.  My water broke and I didn't think it was enough for it to actually be amniotic fluid.  I was wrong and we went 24 hours before going into labor.  My doctor was pretty upset that I didn't come in to be checked when I thought it might have been amniotic fluid.  Anyways, if you go to long they'll likely hook you up for some antibiotics.  Call just to be sure.
