How did you tell your partner "I think I'm in labour"

[MummyDuck]

I am having some issues...... last night I didnt tell DP I was having some period pains and today I havent told him that I lost part of my plug (only a small amount but it was significant enough to scare me into realising this is really REAL IYKWIM).

So I figure this is a good time to ask:

How did you tell your partner you lost your plug/water broke/I'm in labour????

Hopefully a little more light heartedly how did they react?? I imagine that my DP is going to hit the roof and go a little crazy panicky LOL. I guess I will see soon.

Well I said "I think I lost my pug today" and DP said "so it could be any time in the next 3 weeks then"

2 days late when my waters broke (on my friend's couch) I sort of rolled off, stood up and said "Ummm CORY?... CORY?..CORY!!! I think something's happening" He said "oh" while everyone else ran around getting towels and doing things. It was pretty funny.

With DS i woke up having contractions and i timed them for half an hour after which i got up to go to the toilet and just as i stood up my water broke. DH was already awake luckly and i just said quick get me towel my water broke! He didnt panic at all. Maybe he was still sleepy? I dunno but he is usually really good with things like that. He always panics and worrys afterwards.

LOL well I was sitting on the couch and got up thinking I needed to go to the toilet then *woosh* my waters broke! I stood up and said to dp "honey oh my god my water broke" he thought I was joking and just tipped water on myself, until I moved my hands and fluid went all over the tiles LOL

I think he could tell by the way I was pacing around, rubbing my belly and looking at the clock to see how long my contractions were lasting!

[*EJ*]

I woke up with contractions at about 2am, went to the toilet and had a show, kind of just let the whole thing sink in and after about an hour woke up my husband. He was pretty relaxed and we laid in bed till morning just feeling my contractions come and go. 22 hours later my son was born.
I think i lost my plug the week before and i can't remember if i told my husband. I think i did...

Good luck, it'll happen the way it's meant to happen

I'd just got into bed and it was really late, nearly midnight and DH was comatose. As soon as I got in bed, before I'd even lay down, I felt a warm gush - not heaps but I knew it was my water cos I'd never felt anything like that before lol.
I just froze sitting there - and I just said in a quiet little voice "I think my water broke".
DH literally shot out of his coma and sat bolt upright going "What? What!!??". He was wide awake in 2 seconds flat lol.

I woke up in the middle of the night and was having contractions, it was the night before i was due to go into the hospital for a c/section and i woke my DP and told him what was happening, this was our DS2 but i had an emergency c/section and was induced with number 1. My partner woke up and i felt like we where 2 little kids in a house not really sure of what to do!! i no that sounds strange but we where very excited, so this was midnight and as much as we lay there trying to go back to sleep it was imposible!!. In the end we got up and cleaned the house ( DS1 was at my mums) then we went out and watched the sun come up contractions we not really going anywhere, and we cleaned the car!! crazy the things that you do. Im sure when the time comes everything will be fine and he will be ok.
Good luck with everything
