Anyone else ever mistake a fart for waters breaking!?

Haha in middle of night there was an audible "pop" followed by a heavenly release of pressure across my almost 40 week bump. I was asleep and in dreamland my waters had broken, despite the lack of watery evidence I was remained completely convinced my waters had gone in my sleepy confuzzled head. There was no other possible logical explanation. Of course this morning I woke up properly- farted and then it dawned on me what had really happened!

Dammit! Plus was having scary labour dreams- lovely Ginger midwife though! Anyhow can we all wish me into labour soon else am going to have more of these very daft embarrasing episodes!

i was just as bad
posted this 10 days before dd was born:

oh, this'll make you lot laugh:

Just took my car round to the local garage for its MOT.
Walking home I feel something wet on the back of my leg, then something squelching in my sandal.
Check I haven't stepped in a puddle - no puddles in evidence.
Check it's not bird poo or beginning of rainstorm - nope.
Check sandals didn't get left out in rain - nope, left sandal is dry.
Realise my skirt and pants are wet at the back...
Go into minor panic as obviously my waters have broken in the street, in public, while DH is three hours away on a London building site.
Fumble in bag for phone.
Discover bag is also wet.
Realise the handy bottle of water I brought didn't have its top properly shut and has been sloshing into my bag, which in turn leaked water onto my skirt, through to my pants and down my leg.
Skulk home with sopping bag and severe sense of anti-climax...

oooh it gets better-

Thought my waters went yesterday- big gush right orifice, but ahem after being checked out at the hospital they don't seem to think they had gone. What I was too embarrassed to tell them (cubicles with curtains- I don't think everyone needed to hear!) was I was having an explosive orgasm at the time- so it appears I have actually learnt the art of female ejaculation instead!?

Grrrrrrr!

thandeka- me too, yesterday! big gush, right orifice. Was throwing up breakfast at the time (haven't had any MS for months). thought i'd wet myself, but once i'd stopped throwing up, it was like i'd tipped a bucket of water all over the bathroom floor. Off to hospital to get checked. Yep, i peed myself. The BEST part is that DP rushed home from work to come to hospy with me, so today he got to tell everyone that it was a false alarm
