My water broke at around 2am this morning. I called triage and since I didn't have contractions was told to stay home rest, eat and walk around and make sure I feel the baby moving. Everything seems to be fine. Except that I've only gotten a few contractions. Nothing consistent!
I'm not sure how much longer I should wait. I did a google search, but some of those answers were stupid. One person suggested sex to bring on the contractions. One with broken waters is to do no such thing as it could cause infection.
So for now I am going to walk around the house. Hoping to bring on the contractions naturally. Then I'll call the triage again and ask them how long I should wait. I would like it to happen on its own. I've heard drug induced labour is intense.
Wish me luck...I'm so excited!!!

You'll be fine no matter what, induced or not. It's all good. In fact, you could be doing it now! (6 pm)....Looking forward to any news. :)
