They normally give you 24hrs to deliver the baby once your waters break (any, front, hind, doesn’t matter) as there is an increased risk of infection.Yano said:
I did think maybe she had died inhaling the meconium? But she lost the heartbeat so she wasn't alive when she was born then? And her waters broke 2 days before the birth?? Thats bad right?
Yeah I thought the same, waiting till two days after her waters broke doesn't sound right, also as someone mentioned she said no labour complications surely its a complication qhen you are at home giving birth and find there's no heartbeat and need to be rushed to hospital. Wither way this is the story she must be going with even tho its completely different to her postSorry, copied over from last thread:

If you don’t go into labour within that time they will want to induce you as per NICE guidelines. Women are of course able to decline induction but they normally will be asked to agree to additional monitoring etc. at this point a home birth is usually out the window/not recomended.
Important to stress, women are entitled to decide on their own care, and decline interventions but this is done against medical guidance.

Also, where has the information come from about getting an infection from hospital when your waters break? Surely that’s the first place you should be if you haven’t given birth within 24hrs, rather than waiting it out at home? Quite dangerous and possibly false (?) information The Sun is giving there.
I’ve experienced waters breaking early and I was in hospital for WEEKS to monitor baby and check for infections.
Surely that info can’t be right?
don’t know the picture speaks a thousand words as she poses with the printsThere seems to be a disconnect in the article. A couple of times she references the "textbook pregnancy, textbook birth", but also talks about how everything went wrong when the midwife visited her at home after her contractions had started and couldn't detect the baby's heartbeat.
It's a very difficult read and you can feel her pain, she sounds very confused and traumatised
I wondered about that to, there’s definitely some misinformation in that articleAlso, where has the information come from about getting an infection from hospital when your waters break?

I had no internal exams, just ECG’s every few hours on the baby to make sure heartbeat was ok and also swabs/blood tests for infection, but I was still v early and ended up having him prematurely.She has either been miss quoted or got it wrong. From my experience with both my babies. They like to limit the amount checks for dilation they do after waters breaking as interference ‘can’ lead to infection but they would still be having her and baby wired up to monitors. It doesn’t add up to me.

If I was 40w I imagine they would bring you in ASAP ready for monitoring & delivery, no?
Yes I had the same, waters broke early and I was admitted to hospital and monitored constantly to check for signs of infection. When my temp and heart rate went up suddenly they put me on a drip to induce labour and baby was born within a couple of hours.Also, where has the information come from about getting an infection from hospital when your waters break?

As Judge Judy says, when something doesn’t make sense, it’s usually a lie!The whole newspaper article doesn't make sense!
