I'm on the last hour of 72 hours of solo parenting. I went back to bed every time after feeding him all morning cause there was no other way I was gonna cope I was so burnt out. Now I need to eat lunch and shower so we can take DS to his Peds appt.

They finally got here. Dd1 was a bit nervous since I was in the hospital bed but she is settled in now and is so happy with her sister. They are going to give her a bath soon and DD1 said she can watch her kick and swim in the bath.

The play date went really well. She was super easy to visit with and the kids played great together. She's due 5 weeks after me, so we're already making plans to go for nightly walks once our babies are born. We actually have a lot in common. I'm glad I went. Thanks for the encouragement.

Also, my neurology appointment got moved up from Thursday afternoon to tomorrow morning. So excited that hopefully after tomorrow I'll have some relief from this awful carpal tunnel.

Please tell me I’m not the only one icing my stomach. I have an ice pack my stomach and another for my back. So much pain. I baked this morning and I regret it. I’m glad to eat it, but sooooo tired. Cinnamon raisin bread ✅ Pumpkin oatmeal ✅ Double batch tomato soup ✅ 😴

My MIL has been in the hospital for a couple days for a mystery illness. The doctors are stumped and I am worried. I could use a break from the universe at this moment. I’m not quite sure what to do to help? I’m not sure if she is contagious and also the toddler is sick so maybe I am contagious so I can’t visit her. This is such a strange thing. I'm sorry to hear about your MIL. Hope they can figure out what's going on with her soon and that it's nothing serious. Also, hoping your little one feels better soon!

Can anyone tell me what it's like when your water breaks? Since I was induced last time this is all very new to me. I just went to the bathroom and after I had finished peeing there was a gush of fluid that...did not come from the same place. Clear. I put on a pad and am just waiting it out. I'm not having contractions.

I'm not having contractions. Mine was an obvious pop and small gush but not as much fluid as I thought. FWIW Id go get checked - if nothing is really happening then you’ll want to start some meds so you can maximize the 24 hours they give you before talking c section (due to risk of infection.). If you lay down and get back up is there any leaking?

mrsmonogrammed I'm not gbs+ thankfully but the doc did say to call as soon as bags rupture. Leaf 🌱 how long would you lay down for?

When my water broke I didn't notice contractions for a half hour or so and then the only reason I noticed them was that there would be another gush of fluid every so often. I'm so jealous but good luck!!

We went for a walk and I was definite feeling some contractions but of course they stopped as soon as the walk was done. It looks like I'm stuck going to this dinner. . Part of me wants to tell the H I can go with them but don't expect me to be very social or want to stay long OR him and Em can go by themselves and stay as long as they want. But he was so sweet getting me the zeppoles this morning I feel bad.

calendula with DS it was a pop that hurt and niagara falls gushing instantly, contractions started 2 hours later. With DD there were two pops, then a gush 10 seconds later, bigger gushes followed soon after, contractions started soon after. A pad was not sufficient either time, so if you’re going to lay down have towels/chuckspads.

mrsmonogrammed I'm not gbs+ thankfully but the doc did say to call as soon as bags rupture. Leaf 🌱 how long would you lay down for? Just for a minute to see if anything else leaks when you get back up. I’m team “better safe than sorry” on water breaking... but I’d also have a snack before going in 😂

Okay thanks all you're so helpful. I was doubting myself! It wasn't like the movies at all, lol!
I called my doc and the nurse said it very well could be water breaking. She said to take off the pad so ill know for sure if I keep leaking. So I'll do that as soon as I am done picking up DS from school and just play it by ear.

calendula with DD1 they broke it in the hospital but this time around I didn't hear a pop or anything just a small bit of fluid started coming out so I ran to the bathroom. A little more came out but I still wasn't fully convinced that's what it was. But anytime I stood or walked a ton of fluid came out so I knew it wasn't pee. I vote to call and go get checked. My water broke at 8pm and we got to the hospital walked for two hours and contractions still hadn't really started by midnight so pitocin was started.

cornpop I’d be all over skipping that. It’s his family right? Send them and stay home. I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t understand.

My water has never broke. I’m terrified of that happening, but it would also be nice to know I don’t just feel crampy and gross and that something is really happening.

How exciting calendula! I'd go get it checked out...the worst that will happen is they just say it's not time yet.

My doctor had to break my water and it seemed like after I could not get it to stop leaking. I just spent hours leaving a fluid trail around my room. It was ridiculous.

When mine broke last time it was a really slow leak and no pop. I had no idea for more than a day it was so little and I just thought I had no bladder control because panty liners were more than sufficient. Definitely track it closely

mattsgirl2004 I am so so glad the play date went so well!! And fx neurology will get you taken care of ASAP. When they do do your injections you should see if will inject an anesthetic that is a little longer acting (I think marcaine is what I am used to seeing) alongside the steroid they will use. That way you get some immediate relief because the steroid will take a few days to work. If that's not already standard for them. But I would definitely ask what they are injecting and find out how long til it will take effect.

So I know my water broke at the hospital... And I know I came in here and told you guys that it happened... But.I honestly have no recollection of it or how it happened. I should ask DH what he remembers.
