Michelles water broke!

I got a text and her water broke just before 4 am. They are at the hospital. They are waiting to see if she is getting sent home or not because her contractions are too far apart. I will update as it comes in.

Re: Michelles water broke!

  • update: They are sending her home. If i hear anything more later today i will let you know.
  • Not much longer now!  I bet they are excited.  Has she gone on maternity leave yet?

  • Nope but she is now :) Shes been working up until today but now that her water broke she will be.

    ETA: Shes only 1 cm dialated just as an fyi since elizabeth had asked me.

  • For some reason I thought once your water broke, they would keep you regardless because it's dangerous for the baby.  I have no idea why I thought that though!  haha...

    I hope her baby comes today!

    I think you can go for a certain amount of time without the fluid. More the likely the doctor told her to come back after a certain period of time if her contractions aren't closer together.

    I'm surprised they're sending her home too.  I thought someone had told me that after your water broke, infection was a higher risk.  Although they told my mom to stay home after her water broke until she was ready - but I was her 3rd child and the Dr said "M, this is your third child... you know better than I do how ready or unready you are to have it!" LOL

    Tell her we're thinking of her!

  • I sent your thoughts. She and mark are at breakfast and she cant wait to have some chocolate milk :) She said what happened was they told her at the hospital it broke but that it didnt rupture so its a slow leak and with the combined slow contractions they sent her home. She said thank you for all of the good thoughts :)

  • Oh she will for sure. Weve been texting since 6 am lol.
  • So exciting! I will be thinking about her and checking in throughout the day. The old school rule was that you had 24hrs from the time your water broke until they would have you deliver (if you did not on your own) to lower the risk of infection. A lot of hospitals though are going away from that as the risk is not as high as they thought if there is nothing um penetrating the area. Since hers is a slow leak and she is where she is at with dialation and contractions it is so much better for her to be able to just kind of ride it out for awhile at home. She will be so much more comfortable. I am sure they gave her a cutoff for time and/or told her to come back when the contractions were like 3-5min apart. This wait will make the waiting 9mo sseem like a breeze. She must be so  anxious!!-as are all of us :)
  • How exciting!  I hope she has a quick and uneventful L&D.

  • Super exciting.  She is going to be a September baby for sure!!
  • yay! Can't wait for her baby girl to get here!
  • little update: shes at home relaxing and her contractions are getting further apart, so a little bit frustrating.
  • Thanks everyone for your thoughts & TY Stacy for updating everyone! :)

    Yup, seems like it might have been false labor but that's just what I'm guessing. Now it's just a big waiting game. She could come tonight or come 2 weeks from now when they have to induce me. My water didn't break but I had fluid from something else; I believe it was from my uterus getting soft or something. I was half asleep this morning when we were in L&D. We called the nurse line to double check everything and have her read over the notes back to us.

    Short story long..no baby yet. Sad

  • I hope she comes sooner than later!
