Baby's doing fine and all my water is still there. Thanks all for the help and advice. </p> <p>Have a happy new year!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44519 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:58:08 +0000 MsMamaBear 44519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go! Miine was a gush, but my doctor said to go to the hospital when it broke. My cotractions started about an hour or 2 later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44517 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:39:54 +0000 venice4504 44517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So has it been confirmed that your water broke 11+ hours ago and your doctor didn't want you to come in and/or go to the hospital? Uh, I'd be camping out there especially since it's a holiday. When my water broke my doctor still went by the 24 hour rule of delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44506 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:23:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 44506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I haven't felt any contractions, except for my Braxton Hicks that I've had for a long time now and they aren't coming any more frequent than they have been. I called the hospital and they didn't sound too concerned.... they said to come by if I feel any pain with my contractions. But after @cyneswith comment, I'm worried now. My husband is sick with a really bad cold and the hospital is 45 minutes away. I think I'm going to try to see if I can get him to take me over there in a little bit. I just wish that I had something absolute to hold onto during pregnancy - haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44480 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:01:26 +0000 cyneswith 44480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call/go in. A friend of mine had trickle so slow she didn't notice, and there was no "water" when she'd been having supposed Braxton Hicks contractions for 24 hours... She finally went in after 36 hours, and found out she'd been in active labor the whole time. So it'd probably be easier on everyone to check it out early and be mistaken than to ignore it and it be the real thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44477 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:54:35 +0000 lemondrop 44477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fingers crossed! So excited for you guys (and more than a little jealous right now) if it was your water breaking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44434 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 10:13:07 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 44434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call! Mine was a gush, so there was no mistaking it, but it would be better to go in and be sent home then go in to late. Plus, if it's your water, the baby has to be delivered within 24 hours, whether you contractions begin on their own or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44429 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:40:46 +0000 pelikila 44429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say possibly your water but I'd call my OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44426 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:09:41 +0000 chopsuey 44426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had some underwear soaking at 36 weeks but it was.. I still don't know what. It definitely wasn't my water. I would call your OB. i was calling mine for everything the last 3 weeks :)<br /> Good luck!! You might have a New Year's baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44425 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:57:50 +0000 policewife10811 44425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an L&amp;D RN and it sounds like your water broke. Contractions don't always start right away. But you should continue to feel some leaking. Only way to be sure though is to go in to be seen. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-my-water-just-break-possible-tmi#post-44421 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:26:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 44421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First, let me apologize about all these posts lately. But I hate to call my doctor again if it's really nothing but at the same time, I"m so confused. </p> <p>So, I was just sitting on the couch and I felt a gush of something from "down there", twice. I checked and my underware was completely soaked and there was some brown blood in it (I'm guessing from the cervical check at the hospital), but it hadn't soaked through to my pants. So I don't know if that's my water breaking, or just another one of those weird pregnancy things. I haven't had any contractions or anything out of the ordinary, except that. </p> <p>I've been told that the water breaking can be a gush OR a trickle... so confusing! What do you think? </p>
