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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my water broke. I called my mom, who had agreed to watch my other two kids while I went to the hospital. When I asked her to come over, she just said, "Sorry, now isn't a good time." FML
Today, at 2 in the morning, my water broke. I called my mom and woke her up to come watch our older kid, while my husband and I went to the hospital. After being tested at the hospital, I was told I had just peed myself. FML
Today, my water broke. Due to Covid-19, we couldn't go straight to labor and delivery, so had to go to the emergency room and wait to be taken up. I sat there for an hour with a ruptured sac and contractions. FML
Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML
Today, my family was going to go out on a boat to celebrate Independence Day. We agreed we'd be at the marina by 11:45 AM. It's currently 1:45 PM and half of the family is still asleep while two are nursing hangovers. FML
Today, I thought my water had broken. I'd actually just peed myself when the baby moved. FML
Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML
Today, I heard something that sounded like a series of gunshots outside my house. My Dad screamed, "Get down!" at the top of his lungs. The whole family immediately dropped to the floor, my sister whimpering and trembling, only moments later to hear my Dad cackling uncontrollably over us. They were just fireworks. FML
Today, I fell in a hole in my back yard and got stuck. My mother called the fire department. They all stood around laughing and taking pictures before they helped me. FML
Today, during the birth of my first child, my epidural didn't work. FML

The baby probably heard the fireworks and wanted to come out and see

That's when you find the keys and start waddling to the car. They would follow I'm sure. Or pick up your cellphone and call one of them or text. Also miming helps as well. Stand up in their view and mime big belly and then gushing water between legs then act like you are holding a baby. Lots of ways to communicate.

I honestly can't believe how many insensitive, uncaring, and downright rude jerks post comments on some posts...including this one!

you're a hypocrite because you are posting the same kind of comments except you are just mean, at least the other person was happy for the OP instead of just rant to/about another commenter. Congratulations OP I hope you have a healthy bouncing baby boy or girl!

this sounds like a horror story, where you keep crying and pleading for help and everyone is just standing around and smiling at you
