frightened of waters breaking

with my 1st baby, my waters broke in hospital, but there was so much, the room was flooded out and 2 midwives had to get changed! I am now terrified of what will happen this time, what do you do if they break in public?

I had plastic under the sheets, so we just didn't worry. You can get a bed bag to put down to protect your mattress. You can also put layer your bed with clean, good sheets and then put the bed bag on (or shower curtain) and then put on another layer of sheets that don't matter if they are messed up.

katiemul - 322 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) at the hospital u were probably lying down right? when your standing up theres a good chance the baby's head will act like a cork, and youll only get a little trickle run down your leg. dont worry! it will be ok!

Actually it should be something that none of us should be embarrased about, its a natural occurence. Mine broke in the hospital too though not as much because I was only 28wks along. Take some towels with you so you dont stain the car seat and you should be good to go hon. Best of Luck!
