Mine broke as I was going back to bed after my 3am toilet stop. Weirdest feeling - possible TMI - but at first I thought I hadn't quite finished going to the loo & was peeing myself!!

I was in bed when I felt mine pop I thought it was a really strange kick and then wondered if it was my waters so went to the toilet it started leaking a little then I had two big gushes then just went to leaking a little bit again. My midwife said to use a new born nappy instead of a pad cos it absorbs more she was right felt weird though.

I heard that if they break while youre in bed they can seriously stain your matress and so we should use something to protect the mattress. What do others know f this or think....whole idea freaks me out

I was scared about mine going in town, esp since i walked to the supermarkt on my due date lol.
maybe put one of thsoe mattress protectors on the bed just in case  .
My biggest fear is in public or while Im walking on my own with Haleigh,

Mine broke while I was on the toilet at 5am, it all gushed out and I was thinking " on my god.. it has started". Remember grabbing a towel, several towels and wrapping them around me, like huge nana pads, sounds gross, but wore the towels in my undies all day!!

My waters broke while I was talking to my best friend about being sick of being pregnant (was overdue at this stage), unfortunately for me I never went into labour naturally and ended up being induced (72 hours later ), I hated the feeling - it felt like I was constantly peeing myself  .

At our ante natal classes the lady said to put a rubbish bag under your sheets to protect your bed just incase your waters break while your in bed.

Gosh I don't know if I'd bother with the matress protector thing, cause I don't like the crunchy feeling/sound, and it'd be there from probably 35 weeks through to maybe 41?
Anyway I had a hind water leak with Krystiana, I got up to go to the loo and it just kept trickling lol. But the waters with her (and Briona) actually needed to be artificially ruptured to progress my labours. With Hannah they popped of own accord after I was already in labour (in the hospital bath lol).

My first I heard the pop on the hospital bed (I was in as I was induced) it was kinda cool to hear it. Second my MW had to break them as he wasn't breaking them himslef and my MW wanted/needed him out of me.

hehe this is neat hearing others stories  im glad that the general concencus (SP??) seems to be the toilet as it seems like the kindest place to be!
I have huge fears of it going in public of some sort!!

Mine broke just as I was getting out of Andys car. Needless to say he was pleased it hadn't happened any earlier! Second time round the midwife did it.

My midwife had to break mine after Caleb was born as they didnt rupture on their own. He was born with his amniotic sac intact, which is meant to be good luck.

Apparently there isn't a high percentage that break before labour. Mostly they break during labour.
Mine broke as I was heading back from the bath (at the hospitale) to the room where I almost imediately started pushing. I had forgotten all about them! I remember thinking "oh yeah, my waters"!!

I had just folded all the washing & was popping clothes into draws in my bedroom, and as i shut the draw, i felt like i wet my pants.......... This happened on several occasions, over several days.
Most embarrassing was when 2 German tourist had checked into the backpacker late 1 night(i was night manager of hostel at that stage)& just after i greeted them at my front door, i felt the feeling & looked down, on the concrete beneath me was a big puddle lol (I was semi prepared with pad etc) but this time i may try the nappies idea
