I'm huge and watery!

I had a midwife appointment this morning and after weighing me (I've managed to gain a rather impressive 14 kilos, and am still only almost 34 weeks - bizarrely though I'm not really massive anywhere else but boobs and bump - I must have become more DENSE somehow!) she helped me to feel my bump around the baby and showed me just how much water I am carrying - not a worrying amount, but apparently when my waters go 'it's going to be like Niagra Falls'. Well, that's just lovely, and beautifully put, thanks.

It doesn't half make a lot of sense of how wobbly and bloated I feel and how heavy I am, but it's actually really made me laugh - I feel like someone's attached one of those 1970's space hoppers to my front and partly filled it with water! Ah well, at least I'm prepared for the worst!

Anyone else carrying a lot of fluid as well as bump? Or had a MASSIVE water-breaking episode?!

I've heard that sometimes it's not quite clear when your waters go - so maybe you should be glad that when your time comes it will be unequivocal - the labour equivalent of an air raid siren.

We must be in sync - I'm 34 weeks on Friday and have a midwife appointment tomorrow morning. I've put on 10kg so far but I know mine is due to cake and biscuits, not water. :(

I've just had twins and twin 1s waters went naturally and twin 2s were popped in theatre and they said it was like a tsunami!!! They had to finish the surgery stood on sheets to soak up the water as it went everywhere!!! I knew I had excess water but that was just ridiculous!
