My water broke on Sunday evening

Ugh, scariest day of my life. My water broke at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon. The midwife on call met me at the birth center and did tests to verify that it was indeed my water. Then it was off to the hospital, where I have been since. Spent 36 hours on L&D, on total bed rest taking a bunch of medications. Then moved yesterday to a more long-term room to try to keep baby baking until 34 weeks. I will be here until I deliver. We had a detailed ultrasound, and baby looks great - measuring a little ahead and taking "practice breaths" on her own already. I feel fine, too, physically, but of course this sucks. H has been great. Let's hope we at a July baby in there at least, not a June one. So, anyway, that's what's going on.

  • I'm so sorry!  it happened to me a week ago, I was waking up about this time and realized I had NOT peed on myself.  I didn't lose much water, they think it's a "high leak" so they kept me for 5 days and now I'm home on bedrest, watching for signs of leakage/infection which will send me right back to the hospital :(  My baby was measuring about a week ahead and about 5lbs, which is definitely reassuring.

    are you still hooked up to an IV and continuous monitoring?  Can you get up to the bathroom yourself?   Once I had a bit more freedom to be "unhooked" I did better emotionally.  Ask for TONS of pillows (i made a nest with about 5) and enjoy the room service if you can :)  I didn't mind having someone bring me pancakes, eggs, and bacon in bed every morning.  I am awake now and craving that but it would probably be wrong to wake dh up to cook for me ;)  

    do you have a laptop/ipad with you?  I watched the entire first season of Revenge n 24 hours, now I've moved on to The Wonder Years. 

    hoping for July babies for both of us!!

  • Wow, how scary! I'm so glad baby is still baking away. I have my fingers crossed for a July baby for you - stay well and rest up.

    Pugz - no, that is the nice thing about the room change and being stable. I am on modified bed rest, so I can get up and shower, sit at the table, etc. I just have 2x 30 min on the monitor each day and a saline lock. It is going to get boring in here a H is here less, that is for sure. I have had 2 family members tell me to read 50 Shades of Grey, which would be pretty funny in this circumstance - definitely can't act on any ideas I get, haha. I am going to call my boss later today and will probably do a little work if I can get everything I need. Thanks goodness for the iPad, Internet, and room service like you said.

  • That must have been very scary. Hope LO gets the message and sticks around until at least that 34 week mark. Glad you were able to get setup and monitored (I am sure very closely).

  • 3 weeks in the hospital,thats a bummer. But glad to know that your LO is still in there and looking great!  Remember every day she stays in the womb will make a big difference in her development.  Best wishes!

    Did they give you the steroid shots?
    Yes, two doses of steroids for lung development, 18 hours of magnesium sulfate for baby's brain, and then various antibiotics.
