LO wasn't born for another 20 hrs. LO2 - while I was at a restaurant with a friend for lunch. There wasn't a whole lot then either, but I was wearing a pantiliner and had an extra pair of undies in my purse, so I just changed before I went home. Contractions started within 20 minutes and LO arrived within 4 hrs. misolee on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break/page/2#post-2568379 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:19:21 +0000 misolee 2568379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO1: I was induced and my midwife broke it sometime during labor. Memory is hazy. LO2: I went into fast and furious labor naturally and I'm sure it broke as I was walking out of my car when I arrived at the hospital. I felt something leaking as I was trying to walk. FYI. From water breaking and baby arriving was about an hour and a half :wink: fancyfunction on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break/page/2#post-2568204 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 15:29:29 +0000 fancyfunction 2568204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both times right after I got the epidural and was almost fully dilated. kes18 on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break/page/2#post-2568193 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 15:22:10 +0000 kes18 2568193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ hospital induction LindsayLou on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break/page/2#post-2568170 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 15:04:59 +0000 LindsayLou 2568170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not even ten minutes after I laid down to try and sleep--at 1:15 am, thank you pregnancy insomnia--I felt it started, shot out of bed and raced to the bathroom. It was so sudden and unmistakable. Contractions picked up soon after, and baby was born less than 7 hours later. maddyz on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break#post-2568159 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:58:03 +0000 maddyz 2568159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2 days post due date at 5:30am a big contraction woke me up and I felt a little trickle. Managed to get to the bathroom before I wet the bed. 24 hours later I had a baby. Wonder what will happen with number 2!

It was pretty early, I was only 1.5 to 2 cm at that point (I got the epi at 2 cm!) and wasn't sure that it was my water. I'd been losing my mucous plug for hours and thought it was just an extra large watery portion of that, but later found out it was my water (the dr went to break my water and said, um, I'm touching hair, your water is already broken!).

With LO2 I sprung a leak that I noticed at about 4am. The whole bag broke when the nurse checked me after getting admitted to the hospital & baby came out like 10 minutes later. skipra on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break#post-2568053 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:48:08 +0000 skipra 2568053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With LO1 it was broken by the midwife at the hospital. With LO2 it broke at home in bed about 10 minutes after we got home from an appointment with the midwife who told me to just get some rest. Haha.

I had been laboring so long and then failed to progress. So they broke it in attempts to get things going (dilate more). It didn't work. After 35 hrs I only got to 5cm. :sad: alphagam84 on "Where and when did your water break?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-and-when-did-your-water-break#post-2568028 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:35:13 +0000 alphagam84 2568028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It broke at home around 8:30 or 9 o'clock at night. I was scheduled for an induction the next morning. Contractions didn't start until about 2 hours later.

I wasn't sure and it looked like it also included the rest of my mucus plug. Changed and got back into bed and felt a pop and another trickle. No gush. I was googling it on my phone when the contractions hit. I still hedged my bet when calling the OB after hours line and said I was fairly sure it broke. Looking back it was pretty clear (which is probably why the OB chuckled when she told me it sounded like I should to head in to the hospital).
