To ask you where and when your waters broke?

I'm coming up to 37 weeks pregnant with my first and have (finally!) started my antenatal classes. We had a long discussion about waters breaking and how it can be a big gush or a slow drip, and it can happen anywhere and everywhere.
I'm thinking about putting down some puppy training pads under my bed sheet as our mattress is only two month old and I'm worried about it getting ruined!
WIBU to ask all you lovely mums when and where your waters broke? And what was it like?
Thanks

Midwife had to break mine... and jumped backwards my bump was huge and I measured ‘big’ all the way through, turned out it was mostly water and a small baby!

DD1 I woke and heard a pop at (39+6), had a small gush, went to the midwife centre, grumpy midwife told me is just wet my self. Told me to hop on the bed so she could check, as I did it was like a tidal wave all over her shoes 🤣. Had no contractions before or after and had to be induced in the end.

DD2 went (41+6) as I stepped onto the ambulance and she was born 10minutes later.

First: sat on the sofa one evening at 38w. DH had just taken a walk down the road to find the source of some loud music, and I heard an audible pop, leapt up and got to the hall before the big splat came. It was very slippery on the wooden floor and I was holding the bannisters when he came back minutes later.

Second was in the supermarket car park. On my due date. Chatting to a friend who is a midwife. I felt them go, she knelt down to sniff

Oh and puppy pads are ok but once they’ve gone you want tena pants!

All over a random nurse’s face when I demanded a check over. I ‘wasn’t in labour’ but was somehow 10cm. A miracle 😂 I can laugh now...

With DC1 they were broken by midwife late on in labour and with DC2 they went naturally minutes before she was out.
With DD, the midwife warned me they were going to go “like a massive zit” and they did - a regular hydrant!
Once they were out of the way, I had three big contractions and she was out!
