My waters broke just as we order our Chinese takeaway lol......i had to walk pass all the old dears out side the bingo hall with the river Thames flowing........My son was born 10 weeks prem

Glad we didn't get free food for a year as that was in Norfolk and we live in London lolol

oooo Nina I'm not having another one hon !!!! nooooo way lol.........just disappointed that I never had the chance to have the dramatic waters breaking moment ......

I must admit I may well have had more than the two I have if I had labours like yours though !!! wow !!! x

All men should be FORCED to read this thread!....pmsl...BC XX

Hi Muffy, all labours are different, I can only wish you one like all mine. All five of my babys came out with the waters, last one, twenty minutes,11 pounds, not a stich.

First one two hours, 81/2 lbs not a stich. All others similar.

Hope all goes well, Nina from filthy Sheffield

with Jamie, my waters didn't break at all, I woke up in labour but it stopped around lunchtime. when I got up and walked to the kitchen to wash up, I was nearly floored as it came back so hard. headed off to the hospital (this was 4 days before Xmas) and we were left alone as it was so busy. I was virtually pushing (we thought he was going to be born with the sac intact) when they suddenly went and he literally shot out facing sideways within about 2 minutes.
I wouldn't say it was any more or less painful than Charlotte - I managed with gas and air for both - but I was a bit disappointed that they did break at the last minute as it's quite unusual for babies to be born with the amniotic sac intact - would have been something to see!

I dint even have a labour with my first I had pre ethinymegig they got him out quick c section thats why my scare is not straight...

errrrr Yuk!.....I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread

the longest labour i had was

MMMM 3 hours lucky meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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
