Where were you when your waters broke?

[Rosebud]

DD1 - In the antenatal ward waiting for something to happen.
DD2 - DTD
DS - in the delivery suite on strict bed rest (only bed available for 2 days) hoping and praying it wouldn't happen for another 15.5 weeks

[Aligater]

DD1 delivery room just before I had her
DD2 had a hind water leak but she came out in the waters and the midwife had to break it so not sure what happened there but pretty cool

[tanyaya]

DS - a hindwater leak (or should i say gush), walking outside the public library in Stockholm
Me being me, I thought I had just wee'd myself and was in total denial. Luckily I was on my way to the midwife anyway.... who convinced me that it was the membranes breaking.

sproggin (currently in utero) - ?????

[Early Kids]

With DS1 I was on the toilet (at 28wks)
With DS2 they were broken artificially about an hour before he was born.

DS the Dr broke the membranes to speed up induced labour.
DD it all shot out at the same time as her head and turned the entire bath brown/green instantly. Gross.

[Kazbah]

awww Indi - I wanted a birth in the cawl too!

DS1 - broken by the OB
DS2 - on the loo just before jumping in the bath. Ended up going to the hospy instead of my bath, it was after the S&S

...and DS 3 was a slow leak over two weeks.

[MummyNaomi]

In the kitchen - I was having a big cook up to fill my freezer for when DS would arrive 4 weeks later - he arrived that evening!!

I had a slow leak too, at first I thought I'd just gotten to the point in pregnancy where your bladder just gave up the ghost, but when it kept happening I realised it was my waters

I got out of cleaning up my cooking mess though -my Mum came over and cleaned up while we headed to the hospy!

DS – 12:30am, in bed, clean sheets, pop and a gush, didn’t get a drop on the clean sheets – miracle!
DD – 5:20am, in bed, changed sheets 2 days ago, pop and a fairly fast trickle, still didn’t get any on the sheets – no miracle, I am clearly a genius!

[raffy]

in the back of the car 4 minutes away from the hospital and about 20 mins before ds made his grand and extremely fast entrance lol (dont worry we were prepared and had towels )

[deletedit]

DD#1: on the couch, while leisurely watching TV (no contractions, nothing, at 37 weeks)
DD#2: about a minute before she was born, by the midwife with a pointy thing ... before that, DD#2 was a bit stuck.
DS: on the couch again, during a particularly ouchie contraction, half an hour or so before he was born.

[OceanPrincess]

Pretty boring here too... DD it was during a contraction, during a VE ( the Obs wasn't sure if she actually did it...).

With DS it was while I was sitting on the loo in the birth centre - I'm very considerate, aren't I?

[Little Chicken]

DD1 - The doctor used her lovely crochet hook.

DD2 - In the shower after a rather painful contraction, how nice was that, no cleaning up.
