All my anxieties started coming to surface in the past few days. One of them is that my water will break on the metro or the train or while I am in a meeting?
I know there is nothing that can be done about it, but I was wondering if anybody has similar thoughts...
TIA
Re: do you fear your water will break when you don't expect it?
I had always been of the mindset that it's normal, you can't help it, people might be freaked but they also know it's normal. I mean it's not like you're peeing on yourself.
But then I was sitting on a bus with benchlike seats and wondered, "How gross would it be to be sitting next to a woman that had that gush and soaked me too?"
I don't want mine to break at work.
Keep in mind that not all labors begin this way. Many women have contractions, report to the hospital and their water breaks much later!
As a side note, I put one of the baby's large waterproof pads under the sheet on my side of the bed. Just in case.
i'm worried about wrecking our bed, so we've got a drop cloth under the top layer of fitted sheets. our bradley teacher had a great idea of making the bed with two sets of sheets with the drop cloth in between. if your water breaks in bed it's no big deal, and when you come home from the hospital you just peel up the whole mess to reveal a fresh set of sheets.
I get all in my head about it. Like if I decided to take a meeting with a client and it breaks. Or what if its when I have CONVINCED DH to have sex and it happens then HAHA!
Again its normal and I dont think any one but us would freak out lol
Just to give my experience: My water broke in bed. My alarm had gone off but I hadn't gotten up yet. All of a sudden I just felt an alarming urge to pee. I ran to the bathroom and the majority got on the bathroom floor and in the toilet. There was a little on the bed but nothing soaked through.
haha, thats a good idea..I'll have to remember that one
That story has been around for years.

I think it would be cool to have my water break in public, I think (depending on where and what I'm doing) it would be neat story.
DH's mom and dad were grocery shopping when hers broke. She passed out and his dad had to full on carry her out of the store.
I'm more worried that it'll break while I'm sleeping and I won't wake up. I keep thinking that I will think it's all a dream. Hahaha. I don't care if I ruin that freaking mattress...we need a new one anyway.

I was afraid my water would break at work ... and then, it did!! It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be, but it was pretty scary! I felt a gush and a weird "something just fell outta me" feeling. Then it felt like I couldn't stop peeing! Luckily I had pads with me!! I drove home to meet DH and after a couple hours (I wasn't contracting at all so I showered and we cleaned the house a bit) we left for the hospital!!
