with my first bubs my waters broke at 40wks and 1day. it was 3am and i needed to pee, no other signs happening at all (apart from the evening before that i was really really ****ed off and over being pregnant so much more than i felt before) anyway went to the loo got back into bed and whoosh - i thought i wet myself lol, i got out of bed and sat on the loo and asked my dh to come in with some pads (well he brought in the breast pads pmsl) anyway it just gushed and gushed and gushed, rang the hospital they said come in when i feel like it, so had a shower something to eat then headed in around 5.30am, i was not having contractions and i was still gushing everywhere - i had about 4 pads on and sat on a towel in the car and the seat still got wet, i walked or should i say waddled into the hospital leaving a trail dripping behind me lol. anyway ob examined me and informed it was only my hind waters and there was alot so he broke the forewaters and started me on the drip.

ds - waters broke of there own accord around 15mins prior to ds being born

dd - waters broke in hospital after being induced (gel) there was meconium in the waters and it was only a small gush nothing like with my first dd, ob broke the rest and she was born shortly after.
