Pregnant wife, hospital run and leather car seats
Discussion
What do you do to protect your P&J?
If her waters break on the run it's going to muller my leather seats. I asked this in an NCT class tonight and just about got away with it by asking in a humourous way, but there was a certain degree of shock in the room
I have about five weeks left so it's not an imminent event but how have people protected their cars from noxious female emissions?
Off to bed now as she's knackered but will be back first thing to see what the PH massive advise.

I see you have your priorities straight!
Nice one
I can imagine the shock in the class though, and the 'evils' from some of the mentalists!
It's a bit like the joke about the bloke hiding behind his car to see a boyfriend dropping his wife off, punchline 'and then I realised, it dawned on me as I was crouched there...the horror...my car had a nail in the tyre'

Just give her a stern warning beforehand of the consequences, should be fine.
Women tend to over exaggerate a lot of this pregnancy malarkey to make us think it's a real torture for them - pretty sure in reality it's all very controlled and no worse than knocking your funny bone pain-wise.

My wife asked me "what will we do if my waters break on the way to the hospital".
My response?
"sell the car"
seriously, though, go to a supermarket, find the baby aisle (you'll soon know it all too well) and buy some care mats or bed mats. Keep in the car. Worry about important things instead.
Oh, and plan a route that avoids speed bumps.

I asked the same thing...4 other blokes made notes, 5 women incl my OH gave me some proper evil glares.
To be honest you would be bloody unlucky to have them break in the car (unless you have a serious drive to Hospital). You need something absorbent with a water proof backing...selophane is just going to transfer the problem down the back of your passenger seat and while you leather will remain pristine, your carpet will stink of damp straw for the rest of time.
In the maternity ward they use incontinence pads (about 60cm square) which would be perfect.
All the best mate...and buy a Kiddopotamus. It's a fleece / velcro swaddling wrap which trusses the little buggers up nice and tight (and safe in their heads). My boy slept through from the night he came home on all but the night we didn't use it...best £15 i've ever spent and I could quite literally kiss the person who invented it.

Adult incontinence nappies?
Actually it's pretty rare for waters breaking to be the first, or even an early sign, of labour. OK, there can be an initial gush, but after that it's much more like a leaky tap than Niagara Falls. Bin bag on your incredibly precious leather seat, and a towel for your wife, you'll be fine.
