    My waters broke during a contraction as I was being wheeled to the operating room for my emergency c/s. I'd been induced due to drops in fetal heart rate, but the contractions that brought on distressed bub even more. It was during a contraction just before I got my epidural that I felt a pop, and then when I had to move into position for the epi they gushed out... stained green/brown too (meconium). Let's just say I'm glad I wasn't the one who had to deal with that mess!

    My waters broke at 3am when I stood up to go to the toilet. I felt a slight twinge down low and thought it was just the baby pressing on my bladder. It shocked the pants off me - especially as DH and I were house-sitting someone else's home for the weekend!!
    I was expecting to be overdue but it happened right on 38 weeks. Won't be doing that again....
    My midwife said she had a feeling that my waters may break early as it was a full moon? Apparently the moon effects all bodies of water - not just the tides in the ocean!!
