I am just curious as to those who have experienced their waters breaking naturally......did it just happen unexpectedly or was there a sensation build up either right before or in the days/hours leading up to this event for you??

I am almost at 38weeks now and with the head butting that is going on down there, particularly at night, I have had a few moments of sudden pounding and even sudden sharp pains and I've panicked thinking that I am about to wet everything! With our first bubby being induced, I have no idea about the experience of things happening on their own so am really interested in hearing what others have experienced.

It's not really like in the movies/soapies where one minute the chick is standing their having a mocktail and then whoosh!! There's a mess everywhere (that you never get to see btw!)......................................is it?!?!?!?!
