Mine is my waters not breaking without the aid of a midwife.........I sooooo wanted it to happen in Mothercare too.....(you get shedloads of vouchers lol) plus the big drama of it all etc. Stamped and jumped around there like crazy in the last few weeks......but to no avail :0)

pffffffffft. lol xx

I passed my driving test ( more years ago than I care to recall ) BUT I'm to much of a scaredy cat to drive !!..............not a minor disappointment more of a major one to me.............but I live with it .....just..............lol

My mum did the same Amanda.........I think she just wanted to know she could do it lol x

Mine is not doing the fell walking I so wanted to do when I was younger. I'd love to have taken that up.

Thing is, at the time I lived not far from you Muffy, so you know, the opportunity for hill walking isn't exactly there is it LOL

I went into labour in Adams!! lol

I dont want my daughters waters to break at home (she has 4 weeks to go).....I have just bought a load of cheap shower curtains just in case....lolol

noooooooo a road hump is considered a hill here TW lololol xx

good luck with your grandchild Rosi I hope your daughter has a fast and safe delivery xx

My daughters waters broke all over my lovely red leather settee...........I'm pleased I hadn't bought a fabric one : )

I'm glad I'm not totally alone with the not driving thing Muffy..........but I do kick myself on occassion about it.

My waters broke whilst shoppin on new years eve in a very busy shopping centre lol

No you're definately not alone Amanda with that lol.

Mine didn't even break at home.......not at all......soooooo annoying.....at least when they go pop you know it's game on.........

I'm told (though I don't know) that a *dry* labour is much harder and more painful......is this true? x

Muffy,
My waters broke 2 days before I gave birth to my son. I don't think the labour was that bad - He was the easiest of the 3 even though he was much bigger at 9lb 5oz.
Unfortunatley though because I was without my waters for so long, He had an infection when he was born and spent a few days in the Special Care Unit. He was HUGE compared to the other babies!

Pat

Pat my first baby spent the first 11 weeks of his life in SCBU and when they brought in big babies it was so funny to see the differance he was only 2lb 7 and 4lb 7 when he came home @ 11 weeks old

Pat my mum's waters broke with me on the friday afternoon........she didn't present herself at the hospital til sunday early am ...I was born at 10am ...they went berserk but as she wasn't in any pain she sat tight. lol No infection.......nothing......xxx

I was quick with mine once my waters were broke it was over..

Of my four , my waters only broke of their own accord with the last one and I wasn't in labour , they said it was something to do with high pressure ( the weather that day ) . I think seven of us where carted into hospital that morning and four ended up having cesarians . I was ok in the end ( I had heard a Dr whisper the word ) push came to shove and I was home five hours later.............lol

I was 23 hrs with the first........and the second .....which everyone assured me would be *like shelling peas* was 30 hrs.

My waters never broke naturally......and I've always wondered if the two things (longer labours and no broken waters) were connected. xx

Hayley,
My son was 'officially' premature - Thats why they didn't want to induce me sooner. He was born 4 weeks early. We knew he was big as I had had to have a couple of late scans, But nothing prepared us for his actual size. Some of the other babies in SCBU were the size of his leg!

Muffy,
I wasn't in too much pain either - My labour had started on the Saturday and then stopped midway through (literally!). I wasn't allowed home as I was 'too far gone' but they wouldn't induce me either as I as so early.
Eventually on the Tuesday, 10 minutes after the Dr had decided that I COULD go home - My waters broke. They eventually induced me on Thursday evening.

Pat
