Water...
When did anyone's water break? Usually before or right away with labor? I'm so scared my water will break at work or something.
At 37.5 weeks I woke up middle of the night with cramps and mild contractions, bloody show. Showered and got ready, left for the hospital which was 10 min away. After I got to the hospital the contractions got stronger and as soon as I checked in and went to my room my water broke while I was changing into my hospital gown. Thank goodness because I was so paranoid about water breaking in public or at home and make a mess!! :)
This is my 4th and my water broke one time (3rd kid). It was a nightmare. It broke at work as i was standing middle of my office 2pm...i felt something warm n am like wtf whats going on with my vagina. It was time for me to leave because i havd doc appt at at 230. I stood there confused then i heard a loud noise as if someone had opened a fossit water and am like what? Wherea thst water noise coming. Then i could see huge amounts of water coming between my legs (it literly looked lile a waterfall) then i realised my water broke. I looked around and no one was around (we had a meeting but boss knew i was leaving n not staying for it). I ran to the bathroom across from my office shaking. I was so shocked, nervous, confused and just overwehelmed with million emotions. I mean this was my third kid and ive never had my water brokw on its own (though i prayed foe it---careful what you wish for).
Then i texted a friend at work who told my boss (awkward) then she came in and helped me walk to my car...i called my midwife and said yo am a walking waterfall how do i drive? She asked if i was in pain? No i wasnt then she said put your sweater between your legs and drive. Only come to the hospital when you know its happening. I said fine and did that. Went home...cooked...cleaned...put my kids to bed....showered and slept....we made the drive 6am next morning and he was born 6pm.....
So yeah i didnt like the water breaking....now am hoping for the usual-contractions that get stronger lasting close to 1 min that are 5 min or less apart for 1hr....hense the 511 rule
My water broke on its own 2wks b4 my due date while I was at work! I was a restaurant manager at the time & thankfully I was standing in the kitchen & not the dining room when it happened! Water broke around 3p. @ 4:30 when I got to the hospital I was 3cm & 80% effaced. @ 6pm I actually felt my first contraction! Hadn't felt anything prior to that!
I took 1 of those birthing classes & asked what was the likely hood of it happening b/c I was terrified of it happening at work. The instructor told me 15% of the time it happens. She said usually the babies head is down blocking. This relaxed me & yeah it happened anyways!
I'm sorry that's probably not helpful ?
Water broke at 36 Weeks 4ish days. It was like freaking Niagara Falls! Legit left a river from my bed to my bathroom. Started having mild cramping but not full on contractions until they hooked me up to pictocin temporarily. That jump started labor and they turned it off. He was born roughly 10 hours after my water broke.
Mine "broke" at home while I was sleeping. Got up around 6am to pee and noticed my underwear was wet. I honestly thought that I had just peed myself in my sleep because it really wasnt that much, but then it just kept leaking out. My labor contractions started pretty soon after. Only 10 or 15 percent of women have their water break on its own. Sometimes its a trickle, sometimes it's a sudden gush, and sometimes the doc has to do it for you right before you push. Maybe pack a towel, extra undies and pants, and a pad just in case?
How does it feel when your water breaks ?
water breaking stories ?! go!
Random question! At what time during the day did everyone waters break? I always imagine it being at night in bed 😂😂
im just wishing my water would break.
Curious about water breaking
When your water breaks do you immediately start feeling pain and go into labor or no? If not are you supposed to rush to the hospital anyway? I'm so clueless lol
With my first my waters started leaking at home but they didn't fully break until I was pushing and with my son they didn't break until I was pushing. I delivered both roughly 5 minutes after.
