I got up to make a big breakfast and GUSH. I definitely knew my water broke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-362826 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:37:53 +0000 kokobee 362826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was at a family gathering on the toilet because i thought i had a bad stomachache. didn't realize it was trickling down while i was on there. i immediately knew when i walked out of the bathroom and it gushed out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-362751 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:00:02 +0000 hilsy85 362751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at home, in bed at 5am. I had just gotten up to go to the bathroom, went back to bed and noticed that my undies were wet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-362203 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:40:08 +0000 erinpye 362203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was broken for me a few hours before I delivered by my OB and it was a huge, warm gush. I'm curious if it will break on its own next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-362201 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:35:51 +0000 googly-eyes 362201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine broke when I started pushing, like @MrsKC. I think they would have broke it (and a couple of nurses tried with their hands) but the Dr was already coming in for a C section that morning, and they were trying to make sure baby was in the right position as I had back labor, so I got to the hospital at 8cm and labored 6 more hours before I started pushing! It slowed everything down (which was ok because I got to rest.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361951 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:26:57 +0000 creativemomma15 361951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine broke while I was brushing my teethg eating ready for work... More of a trickle than anything. It was 4 weeks early and I was in a little bit of disbelief that my water actually broke. We didn't have bags packed or anything! </p> <p>(my biggest fear was that it would break in the middle of our youth group meetings and be a huge gush. I can't imagine how a group of 50 preteens would have reacted to that happening to one of their leaders!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361937 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:21:21 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 361937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine had to be broken by the doctor: it was A LOT of warm water!!! I imagine that if it had broken spontaneously: I would have absolutely known. Mine was a huuuuge gush of water and it kept coming for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361930 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:18:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 361930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it started leaking a little bit as soon as my contractions started with charlie. it broke in the waiting room of the hospital and it was a tidalwave! no mistaking it for pee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361925 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:18:02 +0000 Honeybee 361925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD, my water broke while I was driving back to work after I had picked up the lunch order for a meeting. I had a little contraction and then felt a litle pop and trickle. Then it broke again when I was about 4 cms and lying in the bed at the hospital ; it was a big gush so there was no mistakening it! And my doctor had to break it the rest of the way right before I started pushing.</p> <p>With DS it broke in hospital while the doctor was checking me right after I got the epidural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361896 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:12:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 361896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine broke at home while I was on the yoga ball. I didn't feel or hear a pop, just totally thought I peed my pants - difference being that when I tried to hold it, I couldn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361889 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:11:17 +0000 skibobrown 361889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 days into labor, when I finally checked into the hospital, they broke my water for me in an effort to speed up my labor. It didn't work, so we started pitocin, which finally got things moving. I have no idea when my water would have broken on its own... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361882 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:09:25 +0000 heffalump 361882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didn't break. But my sils did. She was sleeping, she thought she peer herself and just went back to bed. Until she realized she was still peeing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361412 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:39:02 +0000 Boogs 361412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow nowhere too embarrassing for anyone! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361405 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:37:10 +0000 sotomorrow 361405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine broke while the nurse was checking me right before I got my epidural. I didn't feel or see anything. She was feeling and all of a sudden said "Oh!

I told him I was going to sleep and went to walk to go pee.. as I was walking the water started coming. I def knew I wasnt peeing! most of it went in the toilet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361370 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:27:38 +0000 Mrs Checkers 361370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew it broke.

I asked DH if hr heard it and he said no...but it was my water breaking because I started having contractions less than 10 mins later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361359 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:22:53 +0000 winniebee 361359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke in the hospital while I was laying in bed - after I got my epidural....I still felt warmth/wetness though and told the nurse it broke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361350 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:18:44 +0000 prettylizy 361350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In bed, at first I though I'd peed a little because I adjusted my position in bed and, honestly, by the end you just expect that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361341 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:17:07 +0000 Sweet T 361341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in bed at 3am. I had just laid down after going to the bathroom so I knew I hadn't peed myself. It was a small gush. I went to the hospital and they confirmed that it was broken. I ended up having it broken again later in the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361334 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:15:36 +0000 mrskc 361334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke when I started pushing. I pushed heard this pop and then felt a huge gush of fluid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361324 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:13:39 +0000 mrsmenow 361324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water has never broken on its own, it has been broken late in labor both times. This time I hope it does just for the experience (lame-right?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361262 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:51:37 +0000 KT326 361262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sleeping on the couch with a mountain of pillows (it was the only place I could get comfortable). I woke up around 1am with a sharp pain and when I stood up it felt like I peed myself. I wasn't sure if it was my water breaking or not. It only trickled though until I was getting my epidural. I sat up and there were 3 or 4 huge gushes. It was a very weird feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361245 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:47:09 +0000 lemondrop 361245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sitting on the couch watching a basketball game and finishing up some work assignments. I dropped a pen and bent over to pick it up and felt a huge POP! I ran to the bathroom and my husband thought I was running out to throw up- guess he was used to it by that point! It was pretty easy to tell what it was for me, not a huge gush, but very steady trickle that soaked through multiple heavy flow pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361207 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:34:56 +0000 BelugaBean 361207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had just gotten to the hospital and was going to the bathroom to change my gown. I went to pee while I was in there and felt a gush instead. I knew my water had broken although the nurse asked if I was sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-361196 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:31:51 +0000 chopsuey 361196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water didnt break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke#post-351066 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:30:00 +0000 Boogs 351066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where were you?
