Waters breaking

Tell me your story ! How, when and where did your waters break.

my first the midwife broke mine in hospital due to having to be induced cause of pre eclampsia but this time round I have no symptoms etc and I’m into my third trimester. I swear this baby will come early as everything feels very loose and feels like her head is down and constantly achey down there.

I think I’m just confused as to what’s going on with me down there. All day I have felt damp , like water but on and off . There is discharge with it , like a snot like mucus type but had that for all my pregnancy. I have a pad on and you can feel it’s damp , so either extremelly watery discharge or trickle of amniotic fluid. I think if it carries on until tomorrow then Il go first thing up to the ante natal unit to get checked but im only 29 weeks. had other symptoms , baby is defo head down. Back and pelvis hurt on a off and nauseas and bump aches like stomach ache. Not saying it’s labour but don’t really know what natural labour feels like

With DS2 mine went in the middle of the park during a dog walk. Was a big gush, followed by a long slow waddle back to the car!

I asked my mum today on the dog walk what do I do and she said the same, just waddle back to the car lol 😂 I can literally picture it

I was 11 hours into contractions, so knew baby was coming. I was laying on a large doggy pad on my bed, as recommended by a friend! Felt a pop and knew instantly that it must be my waters so threw pad on the floor and waters started gushing out.
