Like SaraRose my waters broke in bed at midnight on Halloween - and then the flood gates opened in the bathroom, in the car, when i got out of the car i left puddles, and wet puddles/footprints the whole way into the labour ward!!! Contractions started not long after my waters broke. I had what they called 'extended rupture of membranes' as DS was posterior and his head didn't block the exit lol. Every time they poked my belly more waters rushed out.
I felt my first contraction on my due date while walking across the road, I didn't know what it was at the time but it stopped me in my tracks and I actually thought I was going to pee my pants.
1st one I had just gone to bed at midnight 5mins later felt something weird and jumped out of bed felt water running down my leg and just made it to the toilet before it hit the floor (thankfully not a bit on the bed) arrived at hospital at 1am absolutely drenched waddling in to maternity very thankful that at 1am there was only a couple of midwives to see me
2nd one was really worried about water breaking again but didn't need to as I felt first contractions at about 6:00am started to be regular and painfull at about 10:30am water didn't break until end of transition I stood up and she was out in a flash.
