Mine wasn't that exciting, no waters breaking in shops or anything, but it was kind of different
Had my baby shower at 34w6d, at a friend's house who is a neighbour. Was kind of off all day, flushed in the face, felt like everything was in slow mo, and found it hard to converse with people (VERY unusual for me ). By 7 that night DH came to pick me up, and I really, really just wanted to go home, but everyone said "you won't be having a baby tonight, just let him stay and have a drink!". So I was out numbered . Went into the loungeroom with my friend to have a chat, but I was so upset, I just wanted to get out of there and be at home, I started crying. I couldn't go home on my own, because I had broken my foot the week before, and was in a wheelchair , so my friend went to get DH to wheel me home.
Once we got home I sat on the couch and just cried over NOTHING for an hour, DH was so worried, and kept asking what was wrong, but I didn't know LOL. Eventually I cheered up a bit, and went to call my mum to have a chat, and left DH watching the footy. I was sitting on the bed chatting away, and I laughed at something mum said and thought I had wet myself.......didn't say anything to her, but went into the ensuite to investigate and thought "Oh. Wee isn't pink. I think my waters have broken". Didn't tell mum, just said I had to go, and went out to tell DH "you all might not have thought that we're going to have a baby tonight, but we are!!!!". Of course, he just jumped up, turned off the telly, grabbed his keys, put his jumper on and said "let's go then". Um, yeah, I have no pants on, and the bags aren't finished yet!!!!! But we got there a couple of hours later, and DS was born at 11am, 35 weeks on the dot
