Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did not until I was being induced, so I was already at the hospital.
You are supposed to call your doctor when your water breaks, but I don't think they usually tell you to come in right away unless the water is green (meconium) or unless you are having contractions close together.

Re: did anyone's water break?
You should call your doctor first, they will call the hospital to let them know you are coming. Plus you'll want your doctor to meet you there so a little notice is good

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did. It was 5am on Easter Sunday, so I called the office, paged the NP and she told me that if it was any other day, I could go into the office when they opened (since I was not having contractions and the fluid was clear). But, since it was Sunday, and she and the DR were at the hospital, I went in to be monitored. I was home in about 2 hours and told to call when/if contractions were regularly a few minutes apart or come in at 7am the next morning... which ever came first. NO contractions, so I went in the next morning and ended up having a c-section at 9:30 am.
HTH!!

Re: did anyone's water break?
Yes - For both of my DD's. Both times I called the dr. 1st time I met him at his office - He did an internal and the flood gates opened on his shoes. 
I guess the 2nd time he took my word for it because we met him at the hospital.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Yep. I wasn't 100% sure that's what it was, so I waited a little bit to call the doctor. After one solid "gush" I realized I was an idiot for questioning it and then called the doc and he sent me to the hospital.

Same here. They will definitely have you go to the hospital because you have to give birth within a certain time frame after it breaks.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did - but it was a slow leak, so I didn't know what it was. I called the doctor's office a few hours later just in case and they told me to go to the hospital. I wasn't having contractions, so it's a good thing I went!

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did, but I didn't call until I started having regular contractions 2 hours later. I was then told to come straight in because my contractions were 4 minutes apart.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did, but I thought I peed on myself initially b/c I had no contractions until about 2 hours later....that's when I called the midwife. 
She told to count how far apart they were and I went in to the hospital about 1hr later.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Yup. Mine did. You should call your doctor so they know to meet you at the hospital. They will probably tell you to go right to the hospital.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine broke at home. We called the doctor and he said to get to the hospital within an hour which was just enough time for me to clean up, DH took a quick shower and we stopped for coffee for him on the way. Water broke at around 6:45, got to hospital around 8, DS was born at 1:03.

Re: did anyone's water break?
Mine did.... but it was meconium filled, so I didn't even bother calling. I showered and went directly there. They paged my doctor when I got there.
