will I feel any differnt before my water break?

[spaceangel1382]

Im 40 weeks plus 5 days and feel exactly the same as I have through out my pregnancy {I can brag as I have had a really easy pregnancy}. What i wanna know is will I feel any different before my waters break? or is it like a surprise attack?

They may not go at all

Mine didn't with my first child - they were broken for me

Second time they broke about 10 mins before DD arrived!

Lots of luck though

I noticed the mucus plug (sorry if tmi) had gone and then about an hour later, my waters partly broke. Other than that, I didn't feel any different for a good few hours. HTH!

I was 39+2 and had no idea, I went for a wee and when I finished it carried on coming! I was a bit confused until I realised it was my waters. My contractions started 5 hours later.

no, there's no real warning, unless you're lucky enough to feel a 'pop' before the gush but by then it's really too late to do anything about it

Mine went at 40+6. I had nesting urges and quite a lot of energy for a couple of days before. Also got quite emotional about little things. But it was quite a surprise when they went, and I couldn't believe how much fluid there would be- it just kept coming. Anyway, it was 6 hours till contractions started and another 25 hours till DS was born, but only 3/4 hours of hard labour. Good luck with everything.

Most waters break at the very end of the first stage of labour.

If they do break before, the only feeling you will have of needing to moving on practicalities. You won't feel differently until contractions start.

With DS, my plug came out in the bath (though I didn't recognise what it was at the time).

Stood chatting to DH in the hallway and they went in a torrential gush.... DH thought it was hilarious!

Had no clue it was about to happen, otherwise I might have stood on a easier floor to clean!

Had waters broken in hospital with DD so couldn't tell that time....

I felt tired and under the weather all that day, had to go to bed and watch crap on tv, then got sudden urge to go to the loo. As I'd felt great prior to that, I assumed the tiredness was a sign, but I suppose it's different for everyone anyway!

Fetchezlavache I've been watching crap tv since maternity leave started, must have been in labour for past 6 weeks lol. Thanks for all ur stories ladies
