I was lying on a hospital bed with a resident's arm up my vagina.

DS I was sleeping, it was around 4 AM
DD I was going to pee before watching a movie, it was good timing and much better than if I was on the couch!

I got up from laying down on the couch when it broke.

I had just gotten my epidural.

I was laying in bed before I went to sleep. I had what I thought was a contraction and then heard a pop and it started gushing. Very cliche lol

I was 38w6d and I was at home. Had just finished dinner and had 15 minutes until TWD finale was on so I was cleaning up. I thought I had started to pee my pants so I went to the bathroom and it just kept coming. We didn't get to watch our show that night, which was funny because my DH kept saying all week that he could come anytime after Sunday night. No contractions or any signs of labor before hand.

I woke up from a nap and was on my way to the bathroom when I had a huge gush. DH was outside installing our car seat!

I was asleep. It was 4am & I felt a pop. I sat bolt upright knowing exactly what was happening (somehow) & shuffled to the bathroom before the gush. I was relieved to catch all the gushes in the toilet. Within a few minutes I was able to go let DH know what was happening & start getting ready to head to the hospital.

@GoGoSnoGirl: same thing here! At 3am. No idea why I woke up, but I jumped out of bed and sprinted to the bathroom and nothing got on my sheets or three floor. One gush and I assumed my water had broken, but was just barely waking up and a little confused. Second gush a few min later and I was finally convinced. Went to the hospital a few hours later, the gushed kept happening every few min until she was born.

On the treadmill at the gym

Sleeping, I rolled over in bed and felt my wet pants

Laying down in bed! I had just told my husband how miserable I was (39+5 and had a horrible cough) right before bed, and he was reassuring me that it wouldn't be like that forever. I rolled my eyes, hoisted my legs up into bed, laid back, and my water broke.

Sleeping. Specifically in the middle of a dream where I was yelling at my little sister lol.

With my first I was sleeping. The sound of the pop was so loud I literally jumped out of bed thinking it was a gunshot next to my head. There was no mistaking what was happening as it gushed like a waterfall.

With my second I was in my labor and delivery room when it happened.

I was laboring on my couch. Thankfully, we had a towel down and I was still wearing pants!!

I was asleep, it was 3 in the morning. I felt a little pop and I thought my EPO capsule had popped! (TMI?) There was a light gush, but I was in complete denial, since I completely was prepared to go to 42 weeks and I was just at 39. I stuck a towel between my legs and went back to sleep. After two more gushes, I woke up DH. Around 8 am we called my OB. Around 11 am I was admitted to the hospital. 24 hours later, DS was born.

Baby 1; Doctor broke it
Baby 2; it broke while laboring in the tub at the hospital.

I had mine broken when I was almost 10 cm.

@travellingbee: OMG I felt it! It was like a pop, then there was a gush (that I felt even with the jets in the tub), and my belly felt lighter and less taught! I also had some meconium in the water so it was discolored and you could see it. I got out of the tub shortly after to get into the bed and get my epi and the water was still pouring out, it was nuts!

I had been having sporadic early labour contractions for a day and my midwives had just left my house after telling me it wasn't "true" labour. They urged me to have a snack, take a gravol and have a nap. I was just starting to doze off when it broke!
