Extra clothes at work

Should I keep an extra set of clothes in my office?  Someone mentioned it to me today, in case my water breaks.  My hospital bag is in my car.

Is anyone else doing this?

    I never thought about this but I guess if my water broke at work I would not stay there I would leave right away.....

    I guess it is a good idea.

    your car is parked at work with your bag in it?  Then I probably wouldn't keep an extra outfit... but maybe a few pads and a sweater to tie around your waist or something...

    I take public transportation and I have an extra pair of pants and 3 pads in my work bag every day.  My water broke last time so this time I am prepared (which means it won't happen this time!)

    I have a pair of sweats,socks and underware in the car plus 2 towels just incase. I don't want to have to sit there with soaking wet clothes if I don't have to!

    That's a good idea and maybe some towels too for the car-- I was just thinking of keeping one in there just in case. I won't be bringing clothes to work because it's only a 5 minute drive back home and I can change and pick up my hospital bag. The hospital is only 2 minutes from my house.

    I'll probably bring a towel.  Extra clothes seem pointless b/c won't it usually keep leaking anyway?

    My plan is to have a towel handy, but I honestly don't care if people see that my water broke.  Everyone knows I am pregnant, and I think they will get over it if they see wet pants.  LOL.  I agree with PP, it will probably just keep leaking anyway ;)

    The hospital is only 10 minutes from my work so I'll just keep a towel in the car.  I think it would take me longer to get changed than to get to the hospital!!

    It probably wouldn't hurt to keep a pair of sweatpants or something comfy just in case.  I work at the hospital, so I'm set if my water breaks at work.
