You know, like how it always happens on TV shows and in movies?
-
I've always been sooooooo worried about this happening in a random public place. Like grocery stores or the mall... or a movie theatre. LOL.
-
LOL! I laughed at *splat*. LOL!
My doctor had to break it for me when I was in the hospital but when she did, it went *gusshhhhhh*
-
No I heard a huge, loud pop! I was sleeping and it woke me up. I didn't feel any water and they couldn't even tell at the hospital until the lab results came back with amniotic fluid.
-
Kind of! I felt the "pop" when I was lying in bed, and managed to waddle to the shower with my legs crossed as tightly as possible...once I got there, there was a bit of a SPLAT moment. So funny b/c earlier that day I had just been telling a friend that only something like 10% of people have their water break as the start of labor, and that it probably wouldn't happen to me!
-
I was on the exercise ball and just felt like my bladder totally let go. I stood up and it kept pouring out.
The second big gush was about 10 minutes later, and again was just like I stood there peeing! I didn't hear any popping or anything.
-
Nope, I felt like I peed myself. Mine was more leaking than breaking though.
-
I was laying in bed sleeping, it felt to me like I had just lost control of my bladder and too the biggest pee of my life!
-
ha i was already at the hospital and i was wearing a pad, so no splat!
-
@cyndistar3: yes! I actually kept asking the moms on my due date group if i had just peed or not. lol. I also kept texting my mom asking! I didn't have contractions right away so I was totally confused.
-
I was laying in bed. So it broke and kind of gushed there.
-
I was asleep and thought I had peed myself.
I thought this for like, two hours.
I think I was in some major denial abou being in labor! -
It didn't "splat" more like gushed. It happened as I was sitting up in bed. I just felt a little pop and a big warm gush like I was peeing my pants. And it just. kept. coming.
-
@sorrycharlie: lol! The only reason I wasn't actually confused is because it was my second child and I knew my bladder was incapable of holding that much fluid!
-
LOL! my water didn't break on its own when I had LO.
I'm so curious to know what this POP feels like! Wondering if my water will break this time around.. -
When my water broke with DS it felt like I had peed myself, but I couldn't make it stop.... so no splat, no pop.
-
Mine was a total splat! HAHA! I felt like I needed to pee, but as soon as I stood up there was just a HUGE gush! Water squishing in my shoes kind of gush!
-
Mine leaked and definitely did not ever hit the ground. No splat.
@Boogs:
Cool
-
hahaha nope! mine broke during labor!
-
I felt a pop and had a slow leak. It didn't gush until I was getting my epidural. I had a contraction while sitting up and it all gushed out then.
-
Love the way you phrased the question. Mine had to be broken during the labor process, when I was around 5 cm. From then on, it gushed every time I had a contraction and I just kept saying, "this is sooo groooooossssss" every time. My DH thought it was pretty funny.
-
I had a double bag so to speak. My OB broke the first one and then an hour later, DH and I were walking, and it did certainly "SPLAT". I was only wearing a gown at the time. It went everywhere and DH's legs were covered and so were my slippers.
-
It sounds like a lot of your girls' waters broke in bed - did any of you take any precautions beforehand? Like sleep on a towel for a few weeks or anything? Was it a complete mess once you had to go back and clean it up? I'm kind of terrified at the prospect of ruining my bed, or my chair at work, or the floor of a store, etc.
-
Mine broke when I started pushing. On my first push it popped and came out in a huge gush.
-
@Boogs: alright! Our one true splat! You get the prize so far!@smocks: good question, new thread!
-
@Andrea: Haha it happened so fast, otherwise I would have take photo or video with my phone. I think we were just too busy laughing all the way out of the restaurant lol.
-
@Andrea: Best thread title ever!!
-
Like @sorrycharlie: Mine broke while bouncing on the exercise ball. It didnt feel like bladder to me because there was no muscle movement involved and felt completely involuntary.
-
Huge POP and multiple decent sized gushes. Soaked 3 pairs of pants and 8-9 overnight pads. Amazing how much fluid there was!
-
someone told me to get a waterproof mattress pad just in case
I didn't need it though because my water broke in the hospital. I had cervidil and was tossing in bed trying to get comfortable and heard the "pop", when I stood up it gushed (cervidil came out surfing that wave!) and totally did splat on the ground. The nurse had to drag the test strip through the puddle on the ground.
-
Mine broke when I went to pee after I got to the hospital. It was an initial gush and then it just kept flowing.
-
@Boogs: in a restaurant!! haha. was it a fancy place? did you leave a large tip?
-
@junebugmama: oh no!! That happened to my friend. Her husband was in total shock. LOL
Mine popped at a restaurant. I thought it was a fart at first so I went to the bathroom and as soon as I sat down, there was a huge gush.
-
@smocks, they make waterproof bed covers! We HAD to get one (it was about $100) because if you get a memory foam bed wet at all, it negates the warranty on it! And nowadays, they are MUCH more comfy than they used to be. Not at all like sleeping on a trash bag (like my mom told me she did). It just feels like a sheet!
Nice to know so many peoples' broke in bed. I'm paranoid my water will break at work and ruin my super nice ergo work chair and I'll have to waddle out of the office with soaked pants in front of all these men my dad's age!
-
Nope mine was more of at trickle, and only while I was standing!
-
We actually have no idea when my water broke. LO's head was so low and engaged that it corked my lady parts so my waters couldn't come out. My doctor went to try to break my water when I was completely dilated and found that there was no fluid around baby's head. All the fluid came out behind her after I delivered.
-
Fortunately, mine broke while I was on the toilet!! Good timing huh!? It wasn't a gush though. It was actually like urinating...but out of the wrong place!
-
@Andrea: Lol no not fancy. It's one of those pay before you eat buffets. I have no clue about a tip, I should ask DH!
Cool
