    Last pregnancy I was in bed, had gotten up about half an hour to an hour before to use the bathroom... I woke up with an extremely shocked look on my face and a quick jump off my new bed!

    I was in bed, sleeping. I woke up thinking I'd finally lost all dignity and lost control of my bladder. I was only 36 weeks, so I certainly wasn't expecting something like that!

    I had just sat down to dinner with DS and thought I wet myself, just made it to toilet before the rest of the gush. Was at the hospital with DD.

    Mine slept blissfully through the whole thing until I woke him a couple of hours later after contractions had started. Even then his first reaction was to tell me that he'd set an alarm and he'd make it to work on time, I didn't need to wake him... He was a bit stunned when I told him he wasn't going to work that day!

    I had an OMG moment on Tuesday... I went to the mall with DS2 and when we got back to the car I put the small amount of shopping I'd got on my seat while I put him in his and his pram in the boot... then I hoped in the car moving the shopping to the other seat... OH MY GOD my waters have broken... but no... it was just the cold from the frozen potatoes creating an extremely cold patch on my seat... I truly thought the time had come...

    I was in bed, felt a little trickle turned the light on & ran to the bathroom. Just made it before a big gush hehe. A week early, was a nice surprise.

    Walking around my room on the ward, cranky at the midwife who'd just told me I couldn't go to birth suite as they were too busy. Sticking it up her by telling her my waters had broken was the ultimate up yours moment of my life.

    Dd1 went to the loo and it gushed out all over the floor, one of our best mates was there and the poor thing coped really well he drove us to the hospital as dh was in a panic as I was only 34 weeks.

    Dd2 I was in the hospital and my ob broke them for me.

    Ds I was on the couch and I felt a punch and my waters broke all over the couch. All of us raced to the hospital where my mil met us to get the girls, Ds popped out 20 minutes later!

    I didn't have the big gush, I just noticed a slow leak once I got up from having a lie down in the afternoon. I would feel a trickle every time I sat down and got up. Was a bit of a pain since contractions didn't start till about 7 hours later.
