When and where did your waters break?

[DebbieM]

It was 9.00pm on March 12th. I was sat on my nursing chair cos I had been having contractions for days and days and couldn't get comfy at all anywhere... sitting down HURT like hell so had got myself settled on there for a couple of minutes in the bedroom. Had another contraction so had moved, then coughed (I was ill with a cold an cough at the time) and thought I had wee'd myself. Went into the bathroom when I saw a pool of water in my knickers and they had gone through to my PJ bottoms and thought hmmm, I wonder. Got Matt to look and he was sure it was as there was so much and it was just somehow different to wee.

Little did I know at the time that I was in labour. 2 hours later at the hospital when they finally checked me, I found out I was already 6cm

Luke arrived at 3.53am on March 13th

Mine went while I was on the toilet I went for a wee and i knew I'd stopped weeing but there was water trickling out so I put a pad on and phoned the hospital. Contractions started about 2 hours later and Jake was born about 30 hours after that

I got mine broke for me. It wasn't very nice, it didn't hurt, just uncomfortable. It was very sudden, a pop and a gush! I was very glad afterwards that my waters hadn't broken in public!

Mine broke while I was in bed and I stood up and it gushed out. I had 2 days of contractions starting about an hour after my waters went and never got past 2cm dilated so I was induced with the hormone drip.

Alicia was finally born 65 hours later.

Mine broke while on the bed in hospital in full labour. I remember freaking out cos my nightie got wet!

My contractions started while sat in wetherspoons. We'd taken my grandfather for lunch just like every other Sunday. After a while I got too uncomfortable & we had to go home. I think he thought we were just trying to get him out of the pub quicker! It was quite fitting with wetherspoons cos thats were me & dh met while working there.
