It was weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78192 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:54:48 +0000 pastemoo 78192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Awesome story, Too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78177 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:47:17 +0000 MsMamaBear 78177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Downward Dog: Wow, I'm in the 10 percent.lol My water broke and contractions started about 30mins to an hr later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78175 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:42:57 +0000 Green Thumb 78175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke as soon as I walked into the birth center. It was pretty comical. As I was putting down the bags it broke :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78125 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:58:47 +0000 Boogs 78125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: What did you end up doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78124 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:50:07 +0000 ktdid23 78124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at home in bed... got up to go to the bathroom at 4am, saw my underwear were really wet, and got the pink tinge on the toilet paper. We called my midwife to see what she thought, and sure enough, contractions started about 15 minutes later. Instead of my water breaking in a huge gush, it must have sprung a leak because I leaked fluid throughout labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78005 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:10:49 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 78005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with Umlo ... When I flopped over in bed in the morning, it popped. And then I rushed to the bathroom to try to contain the mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-78004 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:06:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 78004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm w/ Boogs... mine broke at a restaurant at dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77794 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:19:34 +0000 Boogs 77794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, so far mine is the most embarrassing! At lunch in a restaurant, and it was a big gush. I didn't even notice if it made mess. I was too busy looking and my soaked jeans, feeling a squish with each step because it was in my sneakers, and laughing as we walked out the door. I was shocked and nervous laughing all the way home, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77792 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:52:08 +0000 lemondrop 77792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home on the couch while I was finishing my last few work projects. Perfect timing!!</p> <p>My biggest fear was that it would break in Walmart since I made so many trips there my last week. My co-worker's sister would carry a jar of pickles with her in the stores so she could drop it and cause a distraction if hers ever broke- always loved that story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77756 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:57:48 +0000 umlo 77756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home, when I woke up to my alarm clock to start the day. Felt a "pop" and ran to the bathroom so I wouldn't gush in bed or on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77745 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:31:05 +0000 anbanan15 77745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During L&amp;D, broken by my OB/GYN in hopes to jump-start labor...didn't work by the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77743 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:27:42 +0000 Maysprout 77743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd kinda known I was in labor for the past 24 hours, contractions just kept getting more regularly close together. I finally decided I was not in real labor (despite the contractions and losing the mp) and to stop pacing that I needed a couple hours of sleep (at this point it was almost 3 am) and within a couple minutes of laying down my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77738 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:13:50 +0000 Downward Dog 77738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the birth center when I was 6 cm. I read that only 10% of women have their water break before contractions start. I figured that only gave me a 3% chance of SROM at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77736 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:11:56 +0000 chopsuey 77736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water didn't break on its own.

I thought it was pee so I started walking towards the bathroom and it just kept flowing out and once I got to the bathroom, there was a big gush of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77734 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:04:06 +0000 Rubies 77734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doctor broke my water in the hospital after a few hours of being in labour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77733 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:01:02 +0000 SAHM0811 77733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never broke til the doctors broke it at the hospital. With my first, I was being checked for progress. I was 7 cm and had just had my epidural inserted. With my second, I was 10 cm, no epidural and about to start pushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77726 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:34:36 +0000 j0s1e267 77726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home in bed with a big gush.<br /> On the hospital bed while I was on hospital bed rest, a pop and a gush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-your-water-break#post-77710 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:55:19 +0000 ohapostrophe 77710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home after about 4 hours of contractions.

I was on hospital bed rest for 6 weeks. The c-section was scheduled, but my water broke 2 days before.
