Remember hun stay calm we are all here for you.
Not sure how to help the vomiting though  .
How exciting. My MW told me that contractions dont always start straight away after waters breaking could take a while or could come very soon. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks dagster! I'm feeling a little calmer now that the sun has come up and things aren't progressing too fast. And the vomitting was really sudden and violent but seems to have stopped  ------------- [IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/9p2jp12.png [IMG] |

My waters broke first both times and my contractions started pretty soon after, I also vomited during both labours which wasn't nice but gave me something else to think about. Good luck and let us know how you are going, you will have that wee bubba soon -------------

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments Well I've been walking and walking and theres no action yet aargh! Nervous but really want to have things get underway. So bubby will be alright even with her lack of waters to float in won't she? I'm anxious  ------------- [IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/9p2jp12.png [IMG] |

Hey hun, how exciting! Have you called your LMC? If nothing happens within a certain amount of time they may want to give you some antibiotics to protect bubs from the small risk of getting an infection now there isn't a membrane between them and the outside world. And sometimes it's necessary for you to go onto a syntocinon drip to speed things up... that happened to a friend of mine when she hadn't gone into labour 18 hours after her waters broke. I should add she went on to have a perfectly straightforward labour and delivery! -------------

That's great sounds like she's on to it
Hard as it is - I know you're probably stressing out a bit and jumping at every niggle - try to relax and get some rest, you will need all the sleep you can get. Practice some deep breathing, maybe some relaxation visualisation - and when things do start happening, as others have said, remember to trust your body and take every contraction one at a time. Good luck!!! -------------

sd she will be fine with less fluid in there because it will keep on trickling for ages. I think you'll have contractions by tonight. Rest up as much as you can in the meantime and try not to panic! -------------  |

Yay! All the best solitaire diamond, hope you get some action soon
I agree with busymum, bubs will be fine even though your waters have broken but good to know your MW has a plan for what you will do next if nothing happens. Good luck x ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Ohh exciting! Definitly dont panic hun!!! You will be fine, I was fine and my waters had been broken ages by the time caden was delivered. But they give you some IV antibiotics, all good
Just rest as much as you can! and keep drinking water and try to eat!! I remember my 3am thread called "omg!" as my waters had just broken! I was 2 weeks over due arghhh. I got contractions straight away but didnt have him until 2 days later(emergency c section), 48 hour labour! I hope your bubba is born a heck of a lot sooner than my cheeky boy!! Goodluck!!! ------------- |

Hi everyone! Well after my waters were trickling steadily all day yesterday there was a huge gush last night at midnight so they'd obviously only partially gone before! But anyway, still no regular contractions and its been like 28 hours since the initial trickling started so will see what they say at my appt at the hospital at 830... eeek. ------------- [IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/9p2jp12.png [IMG] |

Oh good luck, I think that after 24 hours you just have to have the IV antibiotics as a precaution but they will probably still let things occur naturally. Fingers crossed you are 6-7 cm dilated and don't even realise it -------------
