Did your water break before going into labor

I feel like I am waiting for my water to break and that will be the sign for me that the baby is coming.

Within the last few weeks though I have heard so many stories from women whose water never broke.

Nope not for me, Doc broke it in the hospital at 2-3 cms dilated.

Re: Did your water break before going into labor

With 2 of my kids, my water broke. Luckily both times it was a constant trickle, not a huge gush. With my other child it didn't. I did figure out that I was in labor even without the water breaking but it took awhile for it to click for me.

No, they did it at the hospital after I received my epi and I was between 6-7 centimeters. It is my understanding from what I learned in Lamaze that water breaking is not as common as people think.

Re: Did your water break before going into labor

Mine broke right after I got done putting the crib together. She's such a good girl that she waited until I was done hehe. Mine was a huge gush too, not just a trickle like with my first.

With my first, yes, it broke - all over Chat Icon (he was breech so there was nothing to "plug" the flow)

With my DD, doc broke it when I was about 8 cm to get things moving faster.

I was induced 6 days after my due date, the Dr. broke my water when I was 3-4cm at 8am. I had an epidural at 11am when I was 5 cm, I was fully dilated by 2:30pm

I have read that only 25% of women's waters actually break on their own.

The first time yes, followed by contractions.

The second time no. She was born with the amniotic sac in tact.

Wow - thanks for all of your responses. Looks like I should stop waiting for my water to break and just wait and see what happens.
