It was the first sign of labor with DD1 and only 45 minutes after I started wondering if this was it for DD2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281399 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:59:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2281399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I was induced and a doctor broke it and I didn't feel a thing b/c I already had my epidural in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281283 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:56:48 +0000 DillonLion 2281283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard to say. I was induced, and at some point the doc came in and tried to manually break my water, but it didn't really seem to work. Later on, I sat up to have my epidural placed, and had an insane amount of fluid gushing with every contraction, so I wonder if that was really my water breaking. I voted Other, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281231 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:39:35 +0000 mrskc 2281231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>broke on its own both times. With DS, it broke when I started pushing. With DD, it was the start of my labor. Broke while I was walking at the mall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281226 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:36:02 +0000 pui 2281226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the doctor broke my water. Side note, can manually breaking your water scratch the baby's head? Lorelei was born with a big scratch on her forehead. I delivered without forceps or a vacuum so I'm not sure what else could have caused the scratch if not the tool they used to break my water? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281217 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:30:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2281217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced so the OB broke it for me. I had very low amniotic fluid levels so not much came out. I would feel a trickle every now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281201 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:16:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2281201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB broke it for big sister. It broke on its own after 3 hours of pitocin for little sister. Both times I was glad I was already in the hospital with pads under me. I'm so glad it broke on its own the second time. I was feeling kinda sad thinking I may never experience that since we aren't sure if we are having more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281175 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:55:46 +0000 catomd00 2281175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other - I had a high leak that prompted me to go to l&amp;d. They couldn't determine if it was fluid until they saw the ferning since I literally had a small leak then nothing else for hours.. Then when I was pushing the doc realized it hadn't broken and broke it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281174 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:54:33 +0000 chopsuey 2281174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ob broke my water both times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281162 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:48:20 +0000 gentlelunette 2281162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, exactly how you see it in the movies. lol. I was having early labour contractions for 24 hours... They were terrible and coming every 3-5 minutes but not progressing. My midwife came to check me and told me to get some rest. I was dozing on the couch and heard a loud pop come from my belly. I jumped up off the couch and it gushed all over the floor! It was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281158 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:45:34 +0000 Smurfette 2281158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! 39 weeks exactly. I hope it happens the same way the next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281094 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:42:31 +0000 travellingbee 2281094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr broke it at 4cm. I was stalled with intense contractions. After he broke my water I dilated rapidly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281072 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:20:55 +0000 kindredjoy 2281072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, at 9cm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281068 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 04:01:53 +0000 illumina 2281068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the midwife had to break it at 10cm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281064 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 03:21:09 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2281064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS it broke, then contractions started after that. </p> <p>With DD I was labouring for hours before the doctor broke it. It didn't speed up my labour however, as she was kind of sideways and it took hours to get rid of my cervical lip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281034 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:13:31 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2281034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke at 4am on the day I was to be induced. I felt a pop in my sleep &amp; knew exactly what had happened. I leapt up to shuffle to the bathroom before it gushed all over. Lol! Contractions started within about 30mins, but I didn't actually deliver until 23hrs later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281031 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:04:30 +0000 QBbride 2281031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time it broke spontaneously as I was walking up the stairs (38+6). </p> <p>Second time it broke as I was pushing (6 mins of pushing!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2281004 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:57:19 +0000 dolphin 2281004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doctor broke both times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280997 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:42:41 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2280997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope – the doctors broke mine in an attempt to get labor going for me during my induction. It didn't work and I ended up having a C-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280993 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:37:28 +0000 Portboston 2280993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. A slow trickle on the toilet at 37+5. Contractions started shortly after. I think it sealed itself up though cause free 36 hours of labor the midwife said there was a bag bulging when I was pushing so she broke it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280984 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:31:10 +0000 sapphire 2280984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep; at the hospital in the tub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280983 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:30:56 +0000 birdofafeather 2280983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. that was the start of my labor! right on the hardwood floors and a couple more times when i tried to put on shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280981 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:28:53 +0000 Corduroy 2280981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a trickle with LO1. LOs head was so low it blocked the flow so the .midwife pushed her back in/up to let the fluid it. No idea what happened with #2. I wore depends to the hospital to protect the car. They were dry when I entered Triage. 15 minutes later I had a baby. I was bummed I didn't feel it break either time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280971 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:02:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2280971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big pop and a gush, followed by more gushes with every contraction for a while. I was already in the hospital bed, had C an hour or two later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280968 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 21:55:05 +0000 BSB 2280968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it did at 28 weeks (PPROM) and has continued leaking for almost 6 weeks now but no signs of labor! Induction at 34 weeks is tentatively scheduled in 2 days!! I'm told that if they have to, they'll break my water if they have to. The leak might be higher up and dr mentioned they might break the fore bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280967 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 21:54:57 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2280967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr broke it but I was induced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280961 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 21:47:45 +0000 sarac 2280961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never did, and my daughter was born en caul. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-water-break-on-its-own-2#post-2280960 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 21:47:03 +0000 Caly 2280960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, dr broke it. </p>
