My water broke sometime this morning 10/19. It is now late on the 19th and labor has still not started. I have never gone into labor on my own (I have been induced 2 times) and am having a homebirth this time and the doubts of whether my body can do this on its own are really creeping up on me. My mw seems pretty relaxed about things, but will come to see me tomorrow regardless of whether labor has begun. Please pray that sometime tonight/early tomorrow my body kicks in and labor begins. Thank you so very much.
Beth

Oh Beth, sending prayers! I know all too well what it's like to wait around only to end up being induced seven of eight baby labors. Tuck the Memorare prayer into your heart and ask Our Lady to bring you peace during until you are holding your new babe in your arms. God Bless You and your little one.
And please update when your baby arrives. ''

This made me smile. Praying, Beth. I have the same kind of labors! My water, with all but one baby, broke early on and I always have sloooow to start labors. I pray you since there is no news you are hard at work!

Wow, looking at the timing of these posts it appears that all of you prayed me right through my labor!!! My labor began at about 1:15, two hours after my mw came and stripped my membranes. Veronica Rose was born at 6:44PM! She was much bigger than we expected weighing 9lbs and measuring 21in. I am so happy to have had the unmedicated birth that I so wanted...my body is thankful as well as I am tired and hungry, but feeling great. Thanks again for all your prayers...they were very fruitful!
Beth
