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.

Both times right after I got the epidural and was almost fully dilated.

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

LO1 - about 36 hrs after my induction started - I was induced for low amniotic fluid, so there wasn't much. 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.
