Water breaking

[JStraq14]

For the mothers who have already had children, when your water breaks, how much is it? I know you don't feel any pain. But you just feel it running down your leg.

I didn't find the placenta hurt at all and I had to med-free births...

The placenta part hurt in my opinion but everyone is different. It was the doctors pushing on my stomach to get it out tgat was really painful. Im actually not looking forward to it with #3 but its a quick process.

I played college soccer before I knew I was pregnant and even while I was pregnant for 2 months, my period has always been messed up, but I was very active. But I have lost the urge to want to do activities, we still go to the park and walk dogs. At least its better then nothing.

My boyfriend and I walked ALL THE TIME so I think that had to help and I would clean the yard or just be active they say it helps for an easy labor

That's awesome to hear! My mom had 6 kids, and out of the 6, 5 were natural. She's a troop, so I want be as strong as her.
Thank you! (:

Plus I went natural and didnt feel the placenta at all. I actually had a very easy natural birth it was wonderful

When I woke up I felt funny so I went to the bathroom and it just kept  coming when I would bend over. Plus I was soaking through a pad constantly. So I went to the doc and it completely broke water everywhere and soaking pads after that and since I wasn't progressing they induced me 5 days before my due date(:

I just hope I'll know the difference lol. This will be my first, so I am nervous that I will not know.
Also, I heard you have to push your placenta out after having the baby, and people said it hurts worse then actually having the baby. Is this true? I'm going to try to go all natural.

My first didn't break til I was in active labour at the hospital just minutes before I pushed. My second one had a very slow leak (thought it was just discharge lol) but it fully broke once I was in active labour at the hospital. Your water won't always break on it's own though. A lot of the time women have to get their water broken for them by the doctor.
