It wasn't a gush though, I just swung my legs off the bed and onto the hardwood. Maybe a bit got on the sheets but that was all put in the laundry while I was in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-clean-your-bed-if-your-water-broke-in-it#post-446337 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 22:25:56 +0000 Andrea 446337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: 37.5 weeks!

I didn't protect it! And my water broke in bed but it was only a slow leak so it didn't matter. Plus I didn't figure out that was what had happened for quite some time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-clean-your-bed-if-your-water-broke-in-it#post-446331 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 22:23:38 +0000 runsyellowlites 446331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a waterproof sheet from Target since we were planning an hbac......
