So I woke up to pee around 230. When I got back in bed, I had a mild contraction. No big deal, been having those occasionally for a couple days. Before I could fall asleep, I had another. Looked at the time, it'd been about ten minutes.

That continued for an hour, with me dozing off in between. Then it happened. Fluid. Now my water broke as a first sign of labor to come with my son. I"ve been wearing a pad for a week or two just in case this happened. But this was no quick little gush. This was a flood! As I sat up and walked to the bathroom, fluid was going everywhere! So my first labor activity was to clean that up and get the sheets washing lol

Still having mild contractions regularly after some cleaning, laundry, and a shower. Things seem to be moving slowly so far. I'm good with a slower start 😁 my midwife and childcare for my toddler are on call. But we're not telling anyone else til she's here. So excited to meet my sweet girl!!!
