With Miss M my waters broke at 7am a day be we were due. I rang the hospital and went in at 9am, I wasn't in labour so they sent me home and said to go back at 7am the next morning if nothing had happened. I went into labour at 12.30am and ended up with and emergency c/s. I slept on a 'bluey' from the hospital for about the last 3 weeks with a towel over the top as I didn't want to ruin our mattress if my waters broke. Lucky!
