my water has never broken either...  w/ my 1st i was even 6 cm dialated before i got to the doctor and it still didn't break!  my other 2 were scheduled c-sections so i didn't get to go through it then either.  i wish i had the chance to experience that though!

My water broke at 1:00am and I delivered minutes before 6:00am.  I can't remember my exact due date, but it was about 7-10 days before my due date.
hope this helps:)

I have heard it is more common to have your water broke at the hospital than it is for it to break on its own. My first, they had to break it after 12hrs of labor and my other two were induced so the OB broke my water.

My water broke with my first two sons.  the first time I was due in five days and it broke at 3 am on the toilet..  (wonderful timing)  The second time I was due in 1 week and I was sitting in a resturant at a booth.  I was really freaked out because I wanted to go straight to the bathroom but concidering how dirty public bathrooms are I had to avoid the bathroom because of the infection risks. My husband was up at the counter waiting on our food so I had to walk all the way to the other side of the resturant then out the door.  He was really exceited too and was pretty loud about everything.  All I wanted to do was quietly get out of the publics eye.   We walked out and we went to the hospital.  There was no mistaking that it was my water and not pee.  I was a mess.  
Weather it was coincidental or not I ate spegetti for dinner the night before my water broke each time.

My water broke and I was 38.5 weeks with my first.  It was 3:00 in the morning lying in bed.  I felt this cramping sensation and a "pop" feeling so I rush to the bathroom and I kew then because I had fluid gushing out.  I was in the hospital within an hour.  My baby was born at 11:03 am so the whole thing didn't take long at all.

Did you find out why your water broke at 5 months?  Did your baby make it?  Or were you put on bedrest?

Well for my i was due Jan 22, and my water broke Jan 20th, the whole day before i went into labour i felt like period cramps every 20 mins then it started getting worse and worse, by 2am my cramps definetely turned into contractions. My bf called the hospital to see if i should be coming in or not cause my contractions were about 5 mins apart at this point when i felt that i had to pee, so i went pee, lol and then somthing fell out of me.......lol my mucus plug (had no idea what it was at the time) so the nurse said to come in, and as i was calling my mother to let her know i was off to the hospital my water broke. and it wasnt like what i ever though it would be, i thought it would be like a huge amount of fluid coming out of me at once, but all it was for me was like just a small amount of fluid going down my legs. it wasnt as entense as i heard it was. but that is when my water broke.

Im 18 weeks pregnant and the other day I leaked out alot of fliud.. I was alredy wearing a panie liner for my discharge.  When this clear watery substance came out of me it soaked my panie liner to the max as well as my panies? Any idea if my water broke? My dr said that it was imposible for my water to brake since I wasnt that far along in my pregnancy

mines broke at 37w3d and my baby girl was born 7 hours later.  I didn't loose my plug before like some people do.  I lost it right after my water broke.
