    My friend camped out in tesco well not quite but she was there a hell of alot she was 2 weeks over due and would keep poping in hoping it would happen this was 5 years ago and you were ment to get free nappies for a year or a hamper. A few months ago it was in the local paper that lady who worked in morrisons was shopping in rival sainsburys and her waters broke. She got a huge baby hamper, flowers and vouchers to shop at sainsburys.

    I didn't have any waters as such. The midwife went to break them with the hook and a tiny amount came out we are talking about a tablespoon or so i didn't even feel it, she didn't think she had done it right so had a nother good go and still nothing. She was very confussed. But concluded it had dried up as 2 weeks over due? Not heard of that before. I def didn't let any out when i went to the loo or anything it all had to be collected and measured nice!
