So my waters broke at my OBGYNs office! I'm 37+2. It's the first time it's happened to him and he checked how dilated I was. So I'm 3cm dilated and my cervix is very very soft. He thinks my labour will be short.

I told him that I was eating dates for the past two weeks because I'd read a post about how they help with softening the cervix and now he says he'll suggest it to his patients and see if it helps them too xD

Eat dates and have your babies ladies! Wish me luck!

Edit: to confirm - I had a short labour. Baby out in under 4 hours.
