Only two of my pregnancies my waters broke...one was while chatting to my homebirth midwife and I felt a little pop and thought I wet myself so went to the toilet but I soon realised that it was constantly trickling out...and getting stronger.
The second was while i was sitting on the lounge on the computer and I felt a large pop and heard a big splash as they hit the floor...I was 26+6 weeks...so a little bit of panic followed
In bed at 3am. I woke up thinking I had wet the bed. I waddled off to the loo where it continued to flow out then more on the loo floor before I had time to sit... still took a few minutes to wake up and realise I couldn't stop weeing from the bed to the loo.... then reality kicked in.
DS1 - Started leaking when I was at work. They broke properly just as he was coming out.
DD1 - Artificially broken
DS2 - Artificially broken
DD2 - In bed when I was resting. I thankfully made it to the ensuite before they gushed everywhere.
With DD1 we were sitting round my brothers and I reached for my drink and WHOOSH my brother just about died my SIL just took photos of me sitting laughing in my puddle and sent them to everyone
the other two were far less dramatic
While I was asleep in the middle of the night. Woke up and my undies were soaked, realised it didn't smell like wee, but more like semen which my mum said it would. No gush, just trickled constantly
DS - I had already been in hospital for weeks with complications got up as usual to do my middle of the night wee, went to the toilet, washed my hands opened the bathroom door into my room and "whoosh" "plop" huge puddle of water on the ground. Cleaned it up, showered and got back into bed because I thought I had wet myself. Woke at hour later and was SOAKING wet, called the nurse and told her what was going on and thats when she told me my waters had broken.
DD - They broke them when I came in to be induced.
