Twoply 0 #1 December 2, 2006 Ok so she's all dialating and feeling like it's going to happen very very soon now. Dotctor says it could happen anytime at all. Thing is, she's going to bed. I wonder what the percentages are of when a new mommy's contractions start while she's sleeping as opposed to engaging in activity. Last time, her water broke when we were checking out prices of shotguns in the Walmart. I was getting the feel of a new Mossberg when she let loose with a "Hey ya'll, come see this here" as she was carrying an oversized sack of ruffles sour cream and cheddars and two potted plants. I filled out the backround check real quick and then we went for the hospital. The store manager let us have the towel someone gave us to accomodate momma.

Michele 1 #2 December 2, 2006 Oh, man, good luck. Let her rest...she won't be resting too much really soon. My sister in law's water broke in the middle of the night; I was the babysitter on call, and the call came at, oh, about 3 am. I got there ASAP, to find her stripping the bed and getting the sheets into the laundry. Her labor was about 12 minutes apart. My brother was making the spare bed for me. I kicked them out of the house, put a pallet onto the floor of the baby's room, grabbed the phone, and went off to sleep on the floor. A few hours later we got the call - Kayla had made her entrance... I knew a lady who baked a cake after her labor started. Another friend of mine just thought it was really bad gas (until it got really bad...then she realized "oh, this is labor!" [yes, that was her first]). As I've never had a child, I'd say that it can happen at any point, and if she can rest until it's time to go to the hospital, then let her. Good luck, Twoply, and make sure you get pictures!!!

cjsgrlsx3 0 #3 December 2, 2006 Our doctor kept teling us "any time now" and ten days later they finally induced. TWICE! But hang in there and get some rest, both of you. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did a C section while Streaker parked the car.
