Nope, they broke it for me at the hospital when I was at 6cm

Nope, they had to break it for me with what I thought were chopsticks. It was way into labor, maybe right before I started pushing, and they were getting ready to break it when I asked why they had chopsticks out. Eegads.

Nope. Dr broke my waters both times.

Yes! My water broke while I was sleeping and I heard a loud "pop!" My bag was packed and we left to go to the hospital. I didn't have a single contraction until we were in the hospital parking lot...then they came quick and fast--I delivered DS less than 3 hours later! I had been at a 3 and 100% effaced since 36 weeks.

Terrified my water will break at work this go around!

Nope, mine broke when I started pushing.

Nope, they broke it for me when I hit 9cm!

Oh yeah! In my house while I was pulling on my yoga pants!

With DS, yes... I was brushing my teeth and my contractions only started 1 1/2 hours later. With DD my water broke after I had been having contractins for an hour or two.

Yes! They had to induce me to start contractions.

Yes with DS no with S

I started working from home 2 weeks before my edd because my MW recommend it. I am glad she did! My water broke at 38w5d while I was squatting to changeover a load of laundry. That was at 3:30 pm Tuesday. Contractions started at 4:30 am Wednesday and DD wasn't born until after noon on Thursday.

Yep. In the shower! It was only leaking, so I was a bit confused at first!

I think I was having contractions for a few hours before that but they weren't "real". All I felt was a tightening. I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and felt a pop and a stream came out as I was getting up off the toilet. I laid back down in bed, in a bit of denial, and then felt the first real contraction about 3 min later.

My contractions were caused by Pitocin during the induction. They had me do a practice push after hours of contractions which caused my water to break.

Nope. I never experienced my water breaking. I was induced with both kiddos, and had my water broken by my doctor.

Mine never broke!

Mine broke when I start pushing 4 1/2 hours into a 5 hour labor.

#1 was broken at 5cm by the dr after days and days in l&d. He was delivered shortly afterwards.
#2 was broken after my induction stopped the contractions, they started immediately after that.
#3 broke on it's own while the dr was on her way up to break it! Contractions were pretty strong immediately afterwards.

yup, both times. first time I had contractions right away afterwards, and baby in my arms 11.5 hours later. second time I had no contractions for 5 hours, then a baby 6 hours after that!

Nope, never in 3 labors. With my first, it broke in early labor, 18 hours before he was born. With #2, it broke about 2 hours before she was born. And it didn't break until about 7 minutes before the birth with #3. Side note: soooooooo much easier laboring with it intact!
