When I was 10cm my doctor went to try to break it and discovered there was no fluid (baby even came out with a couple little marks on the top of her head from my doc trying to break it with that little tool). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870721 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:29:34 +0000 lovehoneybee 870721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was broken in the hospital at 8-9cm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870713 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:27:07 +0000 rachiecakes 870713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: same for me! </p> <p>I was in the hospital waiting to be induced, shifted in bed trying to get more comfortable and my water broke. Heard it pop like a water balloon. Contractions came hard and fast about 10 minutes later, nothing before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870699 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:22:50 +0000 BelugaBean 870699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started having contractions at 6:45am and my water broke at 4:45pm when I got to the hospital. It broke as I went to pee while changing into my gown. DH always thanks me for waiting until I was in the hospital room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870649 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:12:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 870649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it started leaking a little bit when contractions started. about 5 hours later it broke in a waterfall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870581 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:58:50 +0000 Boogs 870581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Randomly without warnings.

It was such a weird feeling. It kind of hurt only cause I had a really intense contraction at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870124 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:00:37 +0000 cascademom 870124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke at the hospital when the doctor did it.

I had been having contractions since the early afternoon (water broke around 2:30 a.m.) I was trying to rest in bed because I knew the baby was coming soon and then I felt the gush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-870098 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:48:02 +0000 cyndistar3 870098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I was already having contractions so it was no surprise.

In hindsight I suppose those were mild contractions. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-869664 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:43:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 869664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine broke by surprise.

We though I'd only be 4 or 5 cm dilated and the midwife would have to artificially break my water, but it broke on its own as she started the check and I was 10 cm dilated to boot! I'd been having proper contractions for 16 hours at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-water-broke-1#post-869598 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:18:22 +0000 sslm 869598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My water broke by surprise and then contractions started right after at about 2.5 minutes apart. It was crazy. </p>
