Eww, never, in either pregnancy.. One, my water broke at home, naturally, and the other I was induced. It must have been at the hospital when I was already on the table pushing or when my Dr broke my water. I hope I don't have to see it this time around! Did I just jinx myself?

I never knew with either pregnancy. I never saw it or anything and nothing "changed" down there.

My second and third I didn't loose it until I was in active labor. With my first I lost it the evening after my OB stripped my membranes without asking or permission. I went on to carry 2 more weeks before delivering him.
Congratulations on your soon to be baby! May you have a quick and easy labor and delivery!

I was 38 weeks when I lost it and then 2 in half hours later my son came into the world. I wonder how it's gonna happen when my husband and I decide to have a second one.

8 hrs prior to having my son. In bed asleep and it felt like someone just went inside and jerked it out, and all the sudden here comes my water.

I lost it at 38 weeks. About 10 hours later, my water broke. No natural labor though.

I never noticed if it came out. I guess it must have! I do know I got bloody show on friday and delivered on Monday. Maybe it was with that.

NEVER!!! I am always waiting on that darn plug though! This is my third time around so MAYBE I will lose it this time and then go into labor on my own, here's hoping!! I am 36 wks and starting to dilate so this could be my time ;) Congrats :D

About 2 hours before I felt the first labor pain.
It was 3am on a Monday morning and I had to use the bathroom.
Cleaning up was a bit gooier than I expected, but I just went back to bed.
At 5am I felt a cramp and labor slowly got started.
36 hrs later our son was born exactly on his predicted due date.
