Our deepest sympathies for you at this time. You are not alone. I have been there myself. Please talk to someone soon, not just us here. We are good but we are not professionals. A counselor helped me get through the pain. *hugs*

I know it must be hard I can't even begin to understand what your going through,I hope Ollie gets out just a little bit more and copes with his grieve better,I know it must be hard in you as well but stay strong the best you can it's okay to cry and say goodbye to her,you can't help but miss her I know that but just understand that I'm sure Faith would want her mommy and daddy to be strong and to move on with their lives and to try and live there lives in time I hope it gets better I can't promise it will get easier but I can promise you will get stronger.This isn't the end so much as the beginning to something else,its sad she was taken so young but I believe she is watching over you up there with the rest of the angels.And no problem hunni!! Me love kisses and strength from Audrinna and I ♥

I know that it will be painful, but try to let gravity help you progress and walk around. Around the house, inside or out, around a mall, around a park. It will help. I was in your shoes 11 months ago. I was having contractions 7 minutes apart. By the time I got to the hospital they were 5 minutes apart. They kept me for 3 hours to see if I would progress, but I didn't. Was only like 2 to 3 cm. I chose to go home. 2 days later, after walking a hospital's halls (my cousin had her baby the day before me) and running after my year and a half old in the house, I finally started to move in the right direction. Good luck and keep us all posted.

Could be Braxton Hicks (google it) which do not signify labour

Just read the rest of the posts congrats on Baby Faith and no thank you I wouldn't have liked to be sent home from Hospital with my water's broken! I travelled and had my first and hour from home and my second 30 mins from home. Congrats again on Baby Faith and enjoy parenthood

It could be have you contacted your Midwife???? If this is your first baby and only being young yourself it wouldn't hurt to have it checked

Go to the hospital. I was in active labour when I was 1cm dilated. Fortunately I was at the hospital already.

It's good to be sent home with your bag of water broken if the baby's head is engaged (no risk of cord prolapse when head is engaged) and you're not in active labor (active labor is not until 4cm or more!). The risk of infection comes from putting things up inside (this includes gloved fingers for internal exams). Your better off being upright and active in a place that is not full of infectious organisms (hospital) where you can continue normally until active labor begins. That's what the research indicates.

It sounds like labour. It is different for everyone. Go to the hospital, the worst that could happen is Ur not in labour and they send u home.

they sent you home with your water broken? That's dangerous! You could end up with an infection or cord prolapse!

Thanku I'm proud of myself for having no pain relief, the pushing was definatley the hardest bit was pushing for 70 minutes and her head got stuck so I ended up being cut to get her out, but so glad she's here, she is big, 8lb 6oz =) but worth it all, first time I've seen her daddy cry when she came out, he's completely in love with her, we are finally the family we dreamed of being and going to show people that age don't matter and at 18 we are going to be the best parents we can be =)

Try and keep hydrated- keep sipping water. I also felt better with a wash cloth drenched in ice water to be placed on my forehead. keep the lights dimmed and focus on your strength, which you were born with enough to push out your little girl, and pray for God to help you push. I had to breath through every other pushing contraction at the end of my labor just to gain enough strength to push really hard. YOU CAn DO IT! YOUR baby girl WILL be in your arms today! You WILL be a mommy at the end of today! So excited for you. You are almost to the end, honey.

Keep breathing and pushing through them!!! You are doing great! Soon you will have that little one in your arms to cuddles and kiss!! I pushed for 2 hours with my first, 2.5 with my second, no epidurals. It helps to keep changing positions. The one position that worked for me was on my bum, leaning back toward the headboard then hooking my arms by my elbows up under my knees, legs open outward from my body and curling forward with the contraction. Moving toward your body with each push and pulling forward under my knees-moving with the contraction instead of leaning backward away from it. I totally hope this helps you!

Because they are irregular, they sound like Braxton Hicks.

Sorry I meant 2nd.... Your labour will progress at its owns rate, but you can help it go fasted by standing and walking and moving those hips, gravity really does help! Can't wait to hear how your labour and birth went!!

If they try to send you home, don't go. Just walk the corridors, or stay in the waiting room. Good luck!

Your labor will start moving along swiftly now that it broke. And yes, it is very painful. Really keep track of those contractions, and if you are far from the hospital, don't wait until they are 2-3 minutes apart.

thanku because my waters have broken I have to go in hospital tonight regardless of if they get worse as faith has to be out within 24 hours as she's at risk of infection, but hopefully I will be in before that just want her to hurry up I can't distract myself from the pain as its the worst pain I've ever felt don't know how people can do this more than once
