I was sitting on the couch watching daytime tv at 38 +2 days. I felt this pop and a slight gush...thought i had wet myself, jumped up (freaking the dog out...she hadnt seen me move that fast in quite some time!) and it just kept gushing. ran to the loo, freaked out (DH was 5 hours or so away in another town). then rang the hospy and had to get a friend to drive me...
contractions started 6 hours later. and came on hard and fast (2 minutes apart). 9 1/2 hour labour....
