Where did you waters break?

So as the post says - where did your waters break?
Days out from my due date and it dawns on me today in the middle of Woolworths, what on earth would I do if my waters broke right now! Now I'm too scared to go in public again :lol:

With DS, there was no small leaking of fluid, it was a MASSIVE gush, that soaked 2 beach towels and just kept going as I waddled into the hospital with a towel between my legs. Thankfully it started when I was at home, but was wondering if anyone had thier's break in public?

Mine broke in bed! It was a massive gush.

A friend of mine's broke in a shopping centre while she was buying a doughnut at donut king LOL

They had to break mine....

At home, laying on bed. Huge pop then ran to shower where the gushing started!! :)

Mine first broke at home and I even made it to the toilet first, but a few hours later I was in kmart getting a few last minute things when a second huge gush went! I was lucky to be wearing black pants and waddled out as quick as I could! Didn't say anything to anyone about it, that was the last thing on my mind!

I read somewhere once that in your last few weeks you should always carry a jar of pickles with you, so if your waters break in public you can throw the jar down and pretend that you dropped them (hence the spill!)... Rofl!

With #1, maybe 10 mins before he was born (hard to say, I'm quite sketchy with my labour timelines!) in the birthing pool.
With #2, in bed (the popping sound woke me!), DH grabbed a towel to go underneath me, the bed didn't get wet at all. :lol: I went into labour maybe 15 min after that.

Ds-lying on the couch. DD- lying in bed.

I had mine broken but my mum's broke whilst in a shopping centre. Didn't quite make it to the hospital therefore I was born in an ambulance :)

at home :)

I was going to go for a shower, so went to the toilet done a big wee and headed for the shower

while standing there naked, looking in the mirror for pimples on my face.......i felt what i thought might of been discharge about to come out, so i went to grab a towel BUT it was to late, it started to leak down the inside of my leg and then it just poured out lol

ahhhh the memories :) love love love it!!

In the car, about 4 minutes away from the hospital, ds was born 16 minutes later and yes the car is fine, we had towels lol

with ds1, 2 minutes befor he came out, being my first i had many an argument with the midwives each time they bought up the "have your waters broken yet?" as my reply was constantly "i dont know"
ds2, df woke me up, "quick wake up, wehys the bed wet?" i made it to the bathroom befor the next lot came out!
dd, i woke up feeling uncomfy, stood up, had just enough time to grab a towel!
i just hope this one happens away from the bed, but then it could be a good reason for getting a new one again?!:think:

On the bed! And boy was it a CRAPLOAD of fluid. I put down two folded towels, a big thick cellular blanket, there were two doonas on the bed and an egg foam thing and it soaked right through the foam and missed the mattress. I lost a lot at once...
Considering I lose 12kg overnight id say i was carrying a bit of fluid :rofl:

I just stood up out of beef wondering what my mum was doing (she was staying from uk and said she was going to make me a cup of tea)

I heard and felt a POP jumped onto the ensuit tiles were it continued to gush out! I also had mec in my waters so was pleased I missed the bed and carpet!

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.

:D
DD1 was at the hospy 3hrs after gel induction :)
DD2 was at hospy also after 3hrs of natural labour :D

I was pretty lucky, they broke while I was on the toilet (28 weeks) :lol:

DS2's had to be broken.

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 :rofl: my brother just about died :rofl: my SIL just took photos of me sitting laughing in my puddle and sent them to everyone
the other two were far less dramatic :lol:

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

In bed, woke up at 7am feeling a little trickle, ran to the bathroom and it gushed out & continued to gush most of the day!

DD1 - I was at a friends house lying on her couch and I thought I had wet myself so I rolled and stood up and gush! Luckily their floor was tiled :lol: Everyone ran around getting towels. It was pretty funny.

DD2 - I went to the toilet before getting into the car to head to hospital with 2m apart contractions and they broke on the loo.

Both mine at hospital, I'm one of the ones who ctx start first then waters. Boring!!

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.
