Jennifer in MI Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mine never popped (you're right - spell check wouldn't help ya' on that one!!). But, mine always broke right before the babes were born. Happy labor vibes comin' your way!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibbyl Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The first time, my water broke was 3 a.m. in my sleep; it was like a gentle warm flood. Of course, it woke me up. Labor was under way within a few hours. The other times it broke during labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yup! With dd there was no pop, just a tiny drip for hours. So I guess this means you'll be out of here in a little while!

Brindee Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yep, my first one I was getting big, and tired, and woke up at 4:30am thinking I'd now lost contril of my bladder. GREAT! But then I realized my water had broken. No pop, just a gush then leaking. ETA: I had him at 5:55 that evening. I'M GETTING EXCITED!!! How are things going???

muffinmom Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I leaked with ds. Just a trickle, but it was amniotic fluid, nontheless. I almost missed it because it was so small. Why I suspected? It had a slight surge of pressure to it. I'm so exicted for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, with my first two it was just a slow leak. :001_smile: Eeeeek, I'm getting excited! Hope you have a baby in your arms soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I don't remember my water breaking either time. With my first, I warned the nurse when we got to the hospital that there was quite a bit of blood down there. I had my "plug" coming out over several days, and I thought that more of blood had come out. Come to find out, my water was broken. With Ben, I was in labor and then the water broke at the hospital. I didn't know it happened until I felt something run down my leg. Again, I told the nurse that I was bleeding pretty badly, but she said it was my water. I also threw up with both of them. Strange, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mine just rather gushed suddenly. I was just glad I was in my kitchen. Alone. And not at Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I was already well into labor when mine broke, and I didn't feel it at all--just felt wetness and was like, "Oh, I think my water broke." My MW said, "Oh, I don't think so, it's a little early." Ha! Go Aubrey!!!! You'll be able to tell this kid the story of how badly you wanted to her/him to be born on 8/8/08 and instead she/he decided to come one day late--defiant from the start!

Lorna in the boonies Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 When I got to the hospital with my first, they asked if my water had broken yet. I told them it hadn't. When they examined me, they said, "Oh, yes. It has!" Never felt a thing. No dampness, no leaking, no nothing. :confused: With my others, it never did until long after I got to the hospital.

paula j Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 With my boys it never broke at all, Dr said it was all behind the baby. With dd I woke up in a really wet water bed and thought we had sprung a leak.:blushing: Hope you have an uneventful labor and a new baby really soon.

Brindee Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 II also threw up with both of them. Strange, huh?My sister always threw up while she was in labor! I gagged but didn't throw up. Mine just rather gushed suddenly. I was just glad I was in my kitchen. Alone. And not at Target. :lol: Yeah, they might have brought you a blanket and asked you to cover up if you're going to be leaking amniotic fluid!:001_huh::tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Um. Why didn't y'all tell me it *keeps* coming??? I mean, I thought I was..."prepared." But...not prepared enough. Apparently.

Kathleen in VA Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Mine broke on a Friday and I didn't realize it until someone at church said to go the ER and get checked out for the slow leak. Sure enough it was amniotic fluid. I delivered Sunday afternoon. I'm praying for you Aubrey!!!

Amy in NH Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Oh, yes.

abbeyej Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 No, I mean he's *scared.* Yeah, I know! :D But if it happens so fast your midwife can't get there, it'll be 'cause everything is going super smoothly. And once the baby has come, he won't be scared anymore -- he'll think he's the coolest guy on the planet. ;) You go, Aubrey! :D :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 No, I mean he's *scared.* :lol::lol: Hubbies are so funny at these times.

ereks mom Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 ...there was no pop, just a tiny drip for hours. When I had ER, it started off as a little trickle at about 7:00 in the morning, then just a drip for several hours. I wasn't even sure it was the real thing because it was 5-6 weeks early. But it was, and ER was a premie, born that night at 9:34PM. EK was early too, but my water didn't break until labor was well under way.

I remember my dh turned as white as a sheet and almost fainted into the bathtub the first time I told him I was in labor. Except for my cavalier attitude *before* labor begins (I always say I can do the whole thing myself w/out him or a mw or anybody AND that I WANT to try that, lol), he's the opposite of the typical man. I start crying & tell him I don't know what's wrong, & he calmly holds my hand, looks me in the eye, & says, "You're in labor. I'm going to call D." And then I argue that maybe I'm not. Until baby comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam "SFSOM" in TN Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Do you think I need to? Dh would count you his best friend if you could convince me, lol! Sure! Call her and let her know your water is broken. That way she can be prepared if you need to call her "for real" later on. You know, gas up the car, replenish her bag, pack a snack, get her affairs in order. :D I'd call. It's a courtesy. You should call. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course when you call she might prefer to come on over now anyhow. I thought about that, but then...since it *could* be a while & since she knows I'm 2 days overdue, & since she knows that I've never gone this overdue before...maybe calling her would just be an *extra* interruption? Not that she'd care one way or another, I just wasn't sure which would be more polite. Pam's got a good point, though, about gas & such. Maybe I'll call...oh, this is the worst part. (I think I secretly don't want her to make it.) I did *not* just say that out loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
