My water leaked with my son at about 33 weeks. I bent over to put away the hair dryer and thought I peed on myself. (humiliated. lol) There was no gush..just a warm stream down my legs. I bathed, changed and it happened again. Went to the hospital and the doctor wrapped a piece of paper around his two fingers and inserted it. He said, "If it turns purple, it's from your water bag." PURPLE. I was admitted and put on iv antibiotics for a couple of days. I lasted another four weeks. When it was the real thing...I had just laid down in bed, a massive, horrible contraction took my breath away. As soon as grabbed my stomach, Whoosh! I ran to the bathroom and blood was every where. I was scared he would fall out into the toilet. LOL After 22 hours of labor, I had a c-section. In other words...you won't give a damn about hairy legs. LOL
