Or did it break on it's own?
Mine was broken by a couple residents at 9cm.
Poll edited to account for 2+ mamas.
-
Mine broke before contractions started with #1, and broke on it's own at 6 cms with #2.
-
I was induced. Doc tried to break my water manually, and it didn't work. (And it didn't feel great either, let me tell you!)
It finally broke when I sat up for my epidural hours later.
-
The doctor broke mine for me...weirdest feeling!
-
With all 3 of mine it had to be broken. I really hoped for it to go on its own the last time just for the experience, but it wasn't meant to be:)
-
Mine broke on its own. Its too bad my body didnt listen and go in to labor when it did!
-
I had mine broken at the hospital when I was 6 cm.
-
Yes, a doctor had to come in and break it for me when I was already 10cm dilated. If I had known you could deliver in the sac, I might have been tempted to try it - seems kind of cool!
-
mine was broken, i think right before i had to push
-
both times they had to break the bag... i couldn't vote Yes twice though!
-
@zippylef: Meee too! I didn't get contractions until close to 12 hours after!
-
Yep ! It was so weird !
-
Mine broke on its own, but I didn't even notice. It was a slow leak!
-
mine broke on its own with charlie, and they broke it with olive.
-
Mine broke while I was laying in bed at the hospital. I rolled over and felt/heard a "pop" followed by a tidal wave.
-
Whoops, I voted wrong. Mine broke on it's own.
-
@swurlygurl: I was induced 24 hours after.
-
Doctor broke mine at 6cm about halfway through my labor.
-
Nope, it broke on it's own. I was about 6cm and had just gotten to the hospital. I thought I had to pee so I went to the bathroom to change into the gown and pee and instead, my water broke.
-
Mine broke on its own! So weird to go to the hospital feeling like you were peeing on yourself.
-
I was induced at night and it was broken by my OB the next morning.
-
Baby 1 they broke it
Baby 2 it broke on its own while I was holding DD while we were getting ready for bedtime. -
Mine broke on its own with no contraction.
-
With 1, no. It broke on its own, at home. With 2, yes. And it was super painful when they broke it!!
-
I got mine broken at 8 cm. Boy....did those contractions hurt after that!
-
It broke on its own with DS but with DD it had to get broken, I'm not sure at what cm though
-
Mine broke on its own...right over the toilet! Contractions started 4 minutes after. DD was born 11 hours later.
-
My doc went to break it before I pushed and couldn't feel any fluid. She actually scratched LO's head with the tool!! Turns out by the time my water broke her head was so low and engaged that it corkscrewed my vagina. All the water rushed out behind the baby when I delivered!
-
It broke on its own during labor. There was soooo much water!
-
Had to be broken both times!
-
Mine broke on its own. No contractions 9 hours later and had to be put on pitocin to get them going.
-
Nope. Broke on its own when I started pushing.
-
Mine broke in bed...and I left a trail to the bathroom where I got the Poise pad I was saving for that reason. LMBO! It worked!
-
Mine broke on its own in the hospital parking lot.
-
I'd say no for both even though I had it broken with G... With P it broke during pushing & since I've seen babies that were born in the caul I think it most cases it doesn't *need* to be.
-
Broke on its own! Lo was born 9 hours later.
-
Mine broke on its own once my induction was on its way, at about 6 cm. I thought it was so cool.
-
Mine broke on its own
-
I don't know! I don't remember if they broke it or not. I was induced.
-
Mine broke on its own as the nurse was checking me in triage.
