My waters just broke!

I woke up feeling a bit wet down there, went to the loo, and as I stood up there was a pretty big gush of water all over the bathroom floor. It was blood tinged, but I've not had a bloody show yet, so I take it that's a two in one?

It doesn't smell , but does keep coming. When my mum told me to stock up on mat pads, I didn't realise I'd use half of them before birth 😂

Just waiting for contractions to start. How exciting!

@Pitstop1986 Hiya congrats again. Was it just a warm bath. Did you use any bath soap. How long were you in the bath for?

@IloveGod2 it was a warm bath with a few drops of Clary sage oil in it. I was laid on my side, with my head on a folded up towel and had the Freya app on on my phone (mainly to time contractions, but the hypnobirthing meditations were really nice for relaxation). I was probably in there for about an hour.

During the bath, contractions were still 7-8 minutes apart, but became much more intense and lasting up to 2 minutes. When I got out of the bath, straight away they ramped up to 2 minutes apart.

Hope this is helpful information for you Smile
