Still no baby! I'll make this quick. Just got back from the hospital where I
received antibiotics for GBS. My midwife will now come every 4 hours to
administer more antibiotics. She checked my cervix while there and no
dilation WTF??? But contractions are now definitely way more frequent and
much more painful. We are about to start timing them, I'm guessing every 3-4
minutes. So hopefully this baby comes tonight. My midwife consulted the on
call OB while at the hospital and explained the whole situation to him
(water broke 24 hours ago, GBS +, just got antibiotics) and she asked if we
should induce. He asked "does she want us to intervene?" , uh nope, so he
said send her home, she'll be fine and if the baby still hasn't come by
morning we will reassess! Great to see a non interventionist OB. That's it
for now!

With my last labour my water broke followed by lots of contrax... had zero
dilation. Went to the hospital in a taxi cab and sat on sheets as my waters
kept replacing! I was sent home, and returned when the pain was worse, but
still no dilation. I walked lots and sat on the birthing ball which put me
into established labour. Still my water broke at 8am, and I had Kamron past
midnight. I slowed things down by not keeping myself moving.
I think that was a long labour considering it was my 5th!

Best of luck!

Hopefully you have already had the baby by the time I post this, but my
mom had her water break with my sister a week before she gave birth.
That was 45 years ago. Nobody even thought to induce her over it at
the time. It all turned out fine.

Good luck in progressing, so you can avoid interventions, and woohoo on
midwife and doctor choices. I can hardly imagine getting such a good
choice.

Yay you...your baby will come when ready, and it's good to hear of an
OB who believes that too. Here's hoping your contractions are
effective and you go quickly when labour really kicks in. Good luck.

Good luck Nadene!

Glad to hear the ob was on side and the midwife sounds great too!
Looking forward to a birth story in the near future!
