Mine broke when I first woke up in the morning. I went to the bathroon then went ro the laundry room and that's when it happened.  It was not at all like what you see on TV and the movies - no big puddle a little bit came out at first and continued to leak until I gave birth.

I got in a car accident yesterday and my waters broke...I didn't need any help getting labor going tho. I progressed pretty fast without any meds to induce

That's my worry, and my midwife doesn't believe I should go on "homebound" until 38 weeks

It's not rare for your water to break on it's own... Lol... Mine broke in the dollar store parking lot. I was shocked but not embarrassed.. If it breaks just go to the hospital!

Mine broke in labor both times. With my son I was sick with a cold and coughed really hard and it tore at the top, they did have to break the bottom of the bag later.

The doctor broke mine also. I have heard its pretty rare for it to break on its own unless you are already in labor
