Waters

[lynnikins]

mine went not long before delivery in both cases i stood up and heard the pop and felt the gush first time i was in the pool so it wasnt a bother, second time i had just been to try going toilet and was standing up and they went this was about 15 min before he was born lol

 

[lynnikins]

will sound stupid but did anyone clean up there waters after they broke. I've got the feeling I will! Forget about the impending labour, there's a big puddle on the floor!

lol you will get a chance to clean up or someone else will. its not like in the movies where the water breaks and baby is coming NOW!! i found those scenes all too amusing

well for me it is lol caus im already in labour when they go lol no time to clean up once the waters go then babys on their way out! lol, i think its the head properly starting to come through the cervix ( after im fully dilated ) that bursts them caus its a pop, gush then when thier head arrives it comes with another gush and after they are born a tidal wave lol

My poor brother cleaned up mine! I would have had plenty of time to do it myself though of he didnt.

I cleaned up the initial wet patch where they'd broken on the upstairs landing at home, but not once we were in hospital. Although i do remember having a HUGE contraction sitting on my birthing ball leaning over the hospital bed and feeling a big gush and saying "I'm leaking still-sorry!" and the midwife telling me not to be so daft!

I do remember cleaning my own blood clots out of the shower when i had just had amelie and putting them in the clinical waste bin

I'm adding disinfectant to my hospital bag! Haha

I heard the pop and it woke me up!! first sign of labour for me!!

 

[span]

I didn't hear a pop but I definately felt it as it woke me up, followed by a gush. My waters then trickled through most of my labour (though it was only short). I'd had some minor contractions throughout the day which had faded away but my waters going was when my labour hit like a sledgehammer!

 

[AmeliePoulain]

I didn't hear a pop but when they went it felt like a jolt - I rolled over in bed and though 'hmmmmm my PJs feel a little damp' and the next thing I knew I was sat in a small lake of fluid

 

[Quackquack99]

Well my waters went yesterday, and I heard and felt a pop! Only bad thing was it happened whilst I was having a maccy d's and never got on to my burger! And I made OH clean it up too! I knew a big puddle would have bothered me lol

 

[hardworknmama]

Congrats on your waters going! Does this mean you have a baby on the outside now?


I heard the pop with my first and then it was a full 5 minutes later before I figured out what it was. There was no sudden gush, in fact I made it up the stairs and sat on the toilet. When I heard liquid hitting the toilet water but knew I wasn't peeing, that's when I knew my waters had broken and that was the popping sound I heard.
With my second I was in the shower at the public pool rinsing off after swim lessons with my oldest. I didn't hear the pop this time but got the random big gushes every 2-5 minutes. With him I sat on a towel to get to the hospital, had a 45 minute drive with him little gushes all the way.

Mine didn't go until I was ready to push (10cm) and it was a pop and a huge gush

 

[HungryHippo]

I didn't hear a pop...my went at 3 am when I was sound asleep, though. I did have a gush...and many subsequent gushes.

 

[Quackquack99]

I've had my baby! I'm so glad mine didn't go whilst I was asleep as it would drenched the whole bed and my oh. No one told me that they would just completely leak, I could feel feel it coming out even when I was getting prepped for surgery. And no one told me that there would have been lots of it!

 

[cherryglitter]

i didn't hear mine pop but i def felt the pop and gush!

 

[Glowstar]

I def heard a pop with my first then the gush came, I actually thought I was wetting myself

2nd time I was in active labour and got out of the car at the hospital and waters broke....all down my legs and in my shoes

 

[Clareabell]

I didnt hear a pop or feel a pop, I was about to walk up the stairs and took my first step and a gush of water came out. I initially thought that I had went my pants, the contractions started rapidly after and with every contraction came another big gush of water. I continued like this throughout my whole labour. I went through all my maternity pads and several towles before I even made it to the hospital

Congratulations honey!!
Mine didn't pop, but leaked constantly - I felt as though I'd wet myself all day x

 

[xJG30]

The midwife popped mine and I definitely felt it.. gushed out quickly.

 

[Linzi]

I thought I heard a teeny pop but it might just have been that I felt it iykwim? I don't think it would have been possible for anyone else to hear it though.

I also had no warning it was going to happen it just did. Took me by suprise. It was a tiny little gush followed by a constant trickle.
