Waters breaking... your stories!

[Starfish]

My waters broke at about 1:30am exactly one month before my EDD. I woke up with a cramp (1st contraction?) and a need to go to the toilet. I barely made it to the bathroom before a whole lot of liquid gushed out of me.

Unsure of what to do, I rang the hospital and was told to come in. I got off the phone and quickly started to pack my bag, (which I hadn’t even started packing prior to this). I woke up DF, who had gone to bed early the previous evening with a horrible flu and fever, saying that I needed to go to the hospital NOW. He got up, we got dressed and were on our way. During the drive I had several more cramps (which I didn't realise at the time, but they must have been contractions).

When we got to the hospital I was admitted and SuperBub was born later that day.

My waters broke very unexpectedly at 10.30am, on a tuesday, the day before my due date, as i squatted down to clean spilt milo off the floor. I felt a pop and stood up and they just gushed out everywhere i looked at dh, at first i was speechless and he was like "what what" and then i was screaming and pointing down "my waters just broke" and bolted for the bathroom, Dh followed me laughing his head off, he couldnt stop laughing!!! Lol i dont know why he reacted that way. I had millions of emotion running through my head and was shaking (shock i think). Went to the hospital for a check, 11.30am got sent home (no contractions), Went back at 5pm, had only had a few twinges nothing exciting, was given oral antibiotics and was told that i would be induced at 7am the following day if nothing eventuated. First proper contraction at 6pm, 7.5hrs after waters broke. Went to hospital at 9.30pm, 6cm dilated. 10cm dilated at 1.30am. Bubs arrived at 2.58am wednesday on his due date.
