'My waters broke in M&S!'

Jen Liu-Jones, 37, a full-time mum, lives in Surrey with husband Paul and children Elora, four, Koa, two, and Marilia, 11 months.

A woman on the next table caught my eye. ‘Are you OK?’ she asked. She must have seen the shock on my face! ‘I think my waters have broken,’ I whispered. ‘Would you mind sitting with my daughter while I nip to the loo?’ Leaving my four-year-old with a stranger isn’t something I’d normally do, but this was a different matter. The lady gave off good vibes and, besides, I didn’t want to disturb or worry Elora, who was busy eating lunch.

An extra member of staff arrived to stay with Elora, while the other escorted me to the loo. Everyone was so helpful, but that didn’t make it any less embarrassing! I had hoped to freshen myself by changing into the spare pair of pants I had in my bag and using tissue paper. I was mistaken! Eventually, I made the decision to carefully drive us both the five-minute journey home. The staff were concerned about our safety, but because I hadn’t had a single contraction I felt confident we’d be fine.

I was still convinced nothing was going to happen any time soon and was in two minds whether to take my hospital bag. I hadn’t felt a and was sure I’d be back home soon. Paul convinced me to take the bag, and at 2pm we were on the road. At triage, I was strapped to a monitor so the staff could see if I was having any tightenings. As I sat down and relaxed, I started to feel a few mild twinges. The more I relaxed, the more noticeable the tightenings felt.
