July the fourth be with you!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Loveland

Today, during my family's traditional fourth of July weekend celebration, my water broke. I kept trying to tell them and asked them to take me to the hospital, but they couldn't hear me over the fireworks. They all just kept smiling and nodding. FML

I hope that you published this FML after you had your child and they finally took you to the hospital. Congratulations!

Hope all went well, congrats on baby! My friend hosting BBQ on beach--and his b'day on 4th- had to take his GF to hospital for stitches. FHL too, had to leave his own party. Luckily they both got back fairly soon

No one cares. This is not a blog. Even there it would be a dumb entry.

So nobody could tell by your painful expressions that something was wrong?

Pain doesn't always happen immediately following the water breaking. For instance, my water broke at 1:30 am, I was having contractions but didn't feel them. I didn't have any pain until I had to start pitocin at 9:45 am.

I was in labor for 12 hours and the only part that hurt me was the pitocin induced contractions

7 hours in labor is actually a very short period of time. I was in labor with my two children for 16 and 24 hours, respectively. I know people who have been in labor for 36+ hours. It happens. But you're right about the painful part.

Hopefully they finally understood you, a good punch to the face would've solved it.

At my family 4th of july celebration my drunk cousins shot fireworks at me. Not on purpose. But that shit hurts.

So write your own fml, 'cause your comment is irrelevant to this one.

I find it hard to believe that they couldn't hear you, fireworks aren't THAT loud. You just have to lean close and speak up. And pointing to your stomach and/or the puddle under your feet may have helped. I'm guessing either you're too quiet, or they just really didn't wanna miss the fireworks so they pretended not to understand. On the bright side, fireworks don't last that long anyway, and now you've got a great birthday story to tell your kid about :)

I'm not sure why everyone thinks there would be a puddle. Unless you aren't wearing pants, your clothes will soak up a lot of it. And if you are standing on grass, again, it will be absorbed

When my water broke it was a constant dribble for several hours, the gush never happened until over 12 hrs after the original break. Again, every woman is different!

Well, can't say the baby didn't come in with a bang!
