With my first DD my water broke at home, but it was really just a little tug and trickle. I thought I had peepeed on myself. Then it jsut kept trickling and DH and I sat there debating whether my water broke or my bladder was leaking for about an hour. I finally called the hospital and they had me come in. I found out later that DH wasn't ready to go to the hospital yet....atleast not until his TV program on the history channel was over
To be fair to him....DD was born 6 weeks early and we had no idea that was going to happen so he just couldn't understand how my water could break so soon.

CongratulationsOk here are my stories. I have 2 kids.
With my first one she will be 19 on the 10th so in a few hours. I couldn't get to sleep because by contractions were keeping me awake, we went to the hospital which was about 2 minutes from our apartment. They said "yes you are in labor but not steady yet" they gave me a shot so I could relax and get some sleep. Went home didn't get sleep because the contractions still woke me up every time I had one.
Went to the Dr. he checked me into the hospital around 9:30 am. I'm sitting in the rocking chair and then my water breaks gushing all over the place. Then my contractions went away!!
So they put me on Pitocin and the monitor. She kept moving away from it!!
The Dr. comes in and says ok we'll put an internal moniter on. He starts to do this and then says " I thought you said her water broke, It must have been a high break" He rebreaks my water. Well after hours of light contractions except bad back left hip pain It's time to push around change of shift form swing to night. The new nurse tells me no your not ready and the evening nurse just getting ready to leave gets the Dr. He let me try and 3 contractions later of about 3 pushes each she is born. No pain meds, and no episiotomy (sp). She was born at 11:20pm and weighed 10 lbs 6 oz. She was face up which why the hip pain.
My second one was a lot eaiser
With him I too had the leak and thought it might be a blader leak. Sat there for a little while and realized it wasn't and all three of us went to the hospital. They checked and sure enough it was my water so they kept me. A co-worker came in to get DS to spend the night with her. We were talking to the guy from the room next door in the hallway (co-worker) I went back in the room my contractions were getting harder than they ever did with my DS so I sent DH to get RN and she did an exam I was at 5cm, she went to call Dr. who is downstairs in the lounge because he has 2 of us in labor not expecting to deliver until after breakfast. She comes back in and I'm crowning!! I went from 5cm to birth in 6minutes!!!!!! The Dr. wasn't in the room he was still downstairs!!!! I have said that he just spit right out!!!
He was 8 lbs 3 oz. I guess being face down (the right way) and 2 lbs 3 oz smaller made the difference.
Ok sorry so long but 2 very different stories.

It's all in the details!Whew! Thanks so much for waiting...didn't have anyone who could post for me!
Little man was born at 11:39 P.M. (yes, you read that right) on Friday, March 9. Water broke at 7:45 A.M. His was the longest delivery for me since my first back in 1989! If you want me to post a "play by play", I will...but for those who want just the facts:
Name: Asa Martin...means "Warring Healer"
Weight: 8 lbs., 7 oz.
Length: 21.5 inches
Why Asa, you may be wondering? Asa was #1 on my list, but DH was really leaning towards Peter. However, during the last VERY DIFFICULT stages of pushing, Tony kept thinking "She [being me] needs healing!" When he finally came out, I looked at Tony and said "What's his name, Dad?" He said Asa, and started crying, which made my mom cry, and then the Doula started...it was a very special moment.
Gillian, I know you have inserted pictures into your posts before (not as an attachment). If you'll tell me how to do that, I'll post a picture.
I'm going to bed now, but will be on tomorrow to play catch up. Thank you all again for your prayers and support!
