Experiences of waters breaking before contractions

To all the June mummy’s who have had their babies already, I hope you are all doing well! My waters have gone but contractions have yet to start. I’ve had a few random ones. Did anyone else experience this? How long did you wait? Any tips? I really want to avoid an induction which the hospital want to do at 10am (currently nearly 2am)

My waters broke yesterday 25/6 at 5pm. I was given till 5pm 26/6. My contractions started at 9.30am and then 12.30 I was in 3min intervals. Then baby born at 16.08. We have fast labours in our family. But my hospital gave 24hrs before needing induction x

I struggled due to the heat but yes sleep is good then I was up on my ball and making sure to have breakfast. Made such a difference

Hey! This happened to me!
Probably not what you want to hear but first baby waters broke and had baby 49 hours later after hormone drip induction.
Second baby same thing happened 36 hour labour but things progressed with just a hormone tablet they gave me to take.
Both times i was only 2 cm, both times i also went from 4-10cm in half an hour after an epidural!

Fresh Pakistani mangoes and soft whipped ice cream made out of them mangoes

10/10 best ice cream and mangoes I’ve ever tasted from Mario’s on Ilkeston Road. This box cost £5 and it’s the best thing I have ever put in my mouth 🤤

Would you let your six year old go to a pool party?

My daughter’s swim class offers pool parties with a lifeguard included and parents are (of course) going to be required to stay. With all that said, would you let your child attend or do you think a pool party is more for older children?

Thanks!!!

Obsessing a bit over milestones/ rolling?

I’m a FTM to a baby who will be 5 months next week, he’s rolled from front to back a couple of times one day about a week ago but hasn’t managed to do it again and not rolling from back to front yet or holding his feet. I know every baby goes at their own pace and sometimes social media is the worst as you see videos that make you overthink but was wondering if anyone else is worrying about the same/ whether this is really common at his stage?

anterior placenta

I’m pregnant with my second and had my first scan today, baby was wiggling around a lot but everything is looking good. They said I had an anterior placenta, can anyone tell me their experience with one?

Mucus plug at 36 weeks

Mucus plug has been coming out in bits for around a week now, but no blood in there yet. Just wondered how long it took you if you've had your babies or have had babies before to go into labour after losing the plug? Hoping I can fit in another week or 2 as just gone on maternity and need to wash everything 😂👶🏼

Nicu day 10

Today marks 10 days in the nicu for my sweet girl.. she was born at 32 weeks and 4 days with no explanation as to why. She is now off of oxygen and IVs, next to successfully regulate her temperature and come out of the isolette 🤞
