With Kat I was induced with Gels. Two lots by 9pm. After the second lot of gels I was having prostin pains bad enough I could not settle even after two sleeping tablets and two panadine forte. I spent the night pacing the halls and laying on my bed trying to rest, not being able to so getting back up and pacing again. At 4:30am, I was lying in bed, and tossing and turning as I could not for the life of me get comfy and the pains were like very bad period pains and when I turned over I felt a "pop". A definite pop. I lay still for a bit thinking I had imagined it. Then decided I should check so waddled to loo. Yep, was very wet and musty and sweet smelling so I waddled up to sisters station to inform them (had already been in 5 days and knew the night shift nurses didn't answer buzzers for almost an hr and they were always sitting talking at the desk). They told me to go back to bed and buzz them WTF?? Anyway, almost made it back to bed and decided I wasn't going to be able to stop the flow anymore so changed direction towards the loo, took two steps and flooded the floor of my shared room. All I kept saying was "Oh my god this feels GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!" and they helped me into shower. I had towels and pads and more towels between my legs and the waters just kept running out and flooding everything. I'd soak a towel and pad within a few mins and they'd have to change it all again cause the bed was getting wet. I also saw very clearly they show. A big chunk of thick whitish red mucous. Not clear, rather opaque and solid. I'd been losing it for a week or so, but it was interesting to see the whole thing in one lump so to speak (nurse in me coming out there!). Dh was rung and arrived 20mins later and soon after I was taken to labour ward. I was sooooo excited as I knew I'd be meeting my bubs that very day and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Untill the synto drip was turned up to full flow and everything is a haze of pain from then on! Yowch! She was posterior too which was not good, but the nurses made me lie on my back the whole time. Anyway, enough of that. The waters breaking was gross but exciting! Can't wait for it to happen again! hehehe
