I went into labor at the bar. It was Brewster's so more of a sports bar and we were out with friends. I love love love their food. I was in full on contractions an hour or so after telling hubs we really needed to get home.

My day began by waking up at 5:50 AM thinking, WTF, am I going to have my period? At 6 AM, I took a bath. At 8 AM, I woke DH up (he was on the couch because I was snoring) and said we needed to finish packing the hospital bag and clean the house. At 9 AM, I called the Dr. At 10 AM, we left for the hospital. At 11:45 AM, I was wheeled into the OR. At 12:03 PM, DS was born!

Ha, I woke up and took a laxative because I didn't want to poop on the table during my induction scheduled for a few days away.. and my water broke an hour or so later

I did not poop on the table - even with the laxative - lol

I was at work. I kept going to the bathroom because I felt discharge, my water was leaking and I didn't know it. It was 2 days before my official due date.

Since I was sleeping like sh*t I was up watching TV at 7 am.  I was crampy since I had my membranes stripped day before.  I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch but showered at 8:30 and contractions started. By 10 am they were 2 min apart so we were off to the hospital.

I was getting ready to go for a walk with my BF when my water broke.  We were supposed to get mani/pedis after the walk but I never made it.  I HAD to wear socks during my labor and delivery.  My toes were not a pretty sight!

I was trying to have a baby... I had her early on Sunday, but on Saturday, I walked, walked, walked, had sex, ate spicy food, took a bath, and walked some more.

Water broke in bed at 3:30am, she was born at 7:09am!

I never really went into labor on my own, but I was at my last doctors appt when they told me that I was gonna be induced the next day. I freaked out and went on a shopping spree at target because I didnt think I had the house ready and stocked for the baby!

Trying to get some christmas shopping done. We were on our way to Dh's cousins 1st birthday, which happened to be in the same town as the Dr. I made it about 20 minutes of shopping then we went to Dh's aunts house because I was crampy and then decided to go to the hospital.

Just a fun little fact: there are now little boys ages that are 3,2,1, and DS that all have birthdays either the 8th or 9th in Dh's family.

I was in blissfull sleep at 6 in the morning and when I rolled over to lie on my other side, my water broke. I thought I had pee'd my pants, but when moved to get off the bed alot more water came gushing out. I woke up DH and we got dressed, brushed our teeth and took off to the hospital.14 hours later I had my baby boy.

I was laying in bed at 6:30 am wondering why I was hearing this gurgling noise and was peeing myself because I thought there was no way I could have to go that bad that I would wet the bed because I had literally been up every hour that night peeing.......then duh it clicked and I realized my water was breaking and ran into the bathroom

I was talking to my DH in the kitchen when I thought my water broke, turns out it didn't but I was in labor anyway and didn't know it.  Had DD less than 24 hours later at 36w.

I was recovering from a bad gastroenteritis and had been having a lot of BH the night before (maybe they were the real thing?). I had woken up to use the restroom around 6 AM and got back in bed thinking that I was feeling better and that I was going to try and make it to work that day. My water broke about 5 minutes later. I was only 36 weeks so I was really shocked. I woke my husband up and called my mom. Contractions started and we headed to the hospital.....12 hrs later my son was born!

I ditched work and stayed home making mini-cupcakes and cleaning the house (nesting haha). DH and I took a walk in the snow in the evening, I made dinner, and we went to bed. I started having crazy contractions and my water broke around 11pm.

Drove to work at 6a, got there at 7am all the while timing my contractions, got in the parking lot & called my boss telling him I wasn't coming in, turned the car around & drove home.  Got home, napped for a couple hours, went to the hospital at noon, had DD at 6:42 pm.  Very easy for me!  Water broke while at the hospital.

We went to a Sharks game on the evening of the day that I was 39w exactly.  I thought I'd go well beyond 40w, but lo and behold, my water broke when we got back from the Sharks game (thank goodness it wasn't AT the sharks game!).

In any case, I never got contractions so we went into the hospital the next day and I was induced.

I had my shower the evening before I went into labor.  Contractions started at 2:30am and I had DS at 7:30am.

I was asleep and woke up to my water breaking.  But before that I was out with girlfriends and they were joking that I would go into labor later that night
