So, in a due date group a lady probably just had her water break. People are SO excited for her, and she "cannot wait for her baby to be born". I was thinking that she was probably around 37 weeks because some people in this dd group are pretty far along, so I assumed she was one of them. Nope. She is only around 34 weeks. I am sorry, but I would be in tears if my water broke that early. Honestly I feel like writing that I understand wanting baby to come, really I do. But, that is WAY too early, and I really hope it isn't her water. I can't write anything though. Most ladies believe that a baby born past 30 weeks should be A-okay because other babies have been. Well, all babies are different right? I was a 30 weeker and I was supposed to die because of all my health challenges. Granted, that was almost 30 years ago, but still!
I was just shocked that women were posting things like "Sounds like your water!!" and posting smiley faces. I just don't get it. I have a feeling as we all approach July, and even August I am going to have to stop going into my dd groups. I don't think I can handle all the induction posts.
UPDATE: Well, I posted that I hoped her water didn't break because it was too early. I didn't say anything about her being excited that baby might be born. I merely said I thought it was too early, and that I understood her being anxious about baby...but it would be better if he stayed in just a few more weeks. At 34 weeks, it's only 3 more weeks before "full-term" (whatever that's supposed to mean, lol!!). I just REALLY hope it isn't her water. I just hope that baby can stay in there a little longer. :( I have a feeling I may get bashed for my post.
Yeah, I actually came across it later in the day, once she updated. I am so glad they got her labor stopped. I know, I kept waking up to contractions last night. I was able to get back to sleep, but it does worry me some, because I never had this with DS.
I am not shocked if naturally going into labor would be a bit more difficult in some ways, if you are previously induced. There is so much doubt in a woman's head that her body can/will do what it needs to do and that would hinder things. And pitocin.... man- that is just some bad ju-ju beez, ya know? It messes with so many receptor's in baby's brain. I can only imagine what it must do to mom's system as well.... : *(
Quoting LilynAustin:Yeah it's in the July group. I was just shocked by it. It was almost like there was some kind of hope in the water breaking. I guess she is "tired" of being pregnant. I just don't know what goes through some peoples heads. I had a lot of contractions last night, and thank God they stopped, but I was getting upset!! I am just hopeful that it wasn't her water.
I know, I'm going to have to stop going in there. Or at least not read the induction posts. I understand health problems, but there are some women who are being induced just because their last babies were induced. I did read somewhere that being induced just one time can hinder your bodies ability to go into labor. Wondering if this is why it is such a common practice?
Quoting louzannalady:I am with you. If that was the July group, I must have missed that post. I know, I am 36 weeks today and if my water broke, right this second, I would actually be frantic! : *( I don't know how much longer I can hang out in the July group with the amount of inductions I am starting to see. It's just so.... common! : *(
Also thankfully I have a relatively crunchy DDG:)
Is it possible...?
