Waters breaking

[JKirkdale]

Hi all, is there any signs of waters breaking or what was your experience did you know when they were about to? Or was it completely random?

Random. I just felt and heard a small 'pop' when I went for a wee. Then it came out in a bit of a constant trickle. No gushing.

I was fast asleep and 'heard' a pop. Thought I had wet the bed. Knocked at the neighbours to use their phone and the drunk dh grabbed a mop and bucket and offered to come clean up!!
Ds was born less than 3 hours later!!

I lost my mucus plug (sorry TMI) in the morning and my waters went that evening.

Random

All three times mine broke as I was pushing out the baby.

Mine went with a massive gush all over the floor, which splashed up and covered me from head to toe. I was dripping and had to strip off and change into a hospital gown.

I thought that only happened on tv!!

Huge gush here too. No warning. And bloody dramatic. Fortunately it was on my doorstep and I was able to run inside and sort myself out. Still half wish it was in some posho shop

I was in bed and felt a bit damp. I got up to go the loo, when I sat down on the toilet there was a pop and a huge gush followed by a massive contraction.

Didn't happen until about 4 hours after contractions started for me! By then I was high as a kite and wouldn't have known had the midwife not told me!

I don't even know when mine broke!
Presumably during the 2 hours I spent in the birthing pool as no one ever saw them.

No warning - there was a huge popping sensation (which my mum said she heard) and an enormous gush of pink water about 40 minutes after a sweep. I had hyperemisis so it was epic.

I was in a Costa coffee at the time.

I did not get any free coffee and I may well have ruined a few handbags Mortified.

Mine went in Sainsbury’s zero warning (tho I was over 40 weeks). I heaved a bag of shopping onto my shoulder and suddenly felt this pressure and then a gush. I was hoping for a lifetime discount but no such luck sadly.

Mine had to be broken hours after my epidural. My boy didn't want to come out!

Mine started with little gushes, contractions started 30 mins later and two hours after the contractions started they went properly with a big contraction and an almighty gush, hit the bed at the hospital and then whooshed onto the floor. I still thought I'd just wet myself though

Mine went in the middle of the night (39+5) whilst on the toilet, had a wee, then wiped, then a gush that kept coming every time I moved!

Used lots of the maternity pads overnight as it just kept coming

Started as a trickle then a big gush whilst I was on the phone to labour ward. Threw our rug away!

I was lying in bed and felt a gush. Mine were epic - actual huge puddles on the floor and went through several towels. Thank his I wasn't in public.

Mine went when I was pushing midwives wanted to pop them but I wouldn't let them 😬

With DS I heard a pop and an immediate gush. Nothing crazy but more of a constant trickle! I’d lost the plug 12 hours previous.

With DD I’d been having contractions for a few hours and was on the labour ward when I asked to use the loo, and there was a massive gush as I sat down!

No idea first time, must gave been once I was well into labour. Second time I woke up one morning feeling a bit damp and there was a gush when I stood up.

Got up for a wee in the night (as usual) and they leaked out everywhere.

Pop and dramatic gush all over hospital floor (and my clothes!) the feeling of it bulging down before it popped was the weirdest sensation (obviously that's before I had felt a baby's head crowning....)

I was in having steroid injections for a planned csection the following week due to breech baby. About 1.30 I rolled over and thought I'd wet myself (I'd been drinking loads of water as it was so hot on the Ward), when the midwife came round I told her I couldn't control my bladder 😂 she and the doctor promptly told me I'd me having an emergency csection due to my waters going....all very dramatic
