Labor // Water Breaking

How did y'all's water break? Was it a big gush or trickle? How many days before or after due date? I'm a FTM terrified for when it may suddenly happen lol

Lol, well my plug came out while I was having contractions at home so we went to the hospital and once they admitted me and I gave consent for an epidural and had to pee again. I sat on the toilet and hard a "pop" like a big water balloon broke and a gush of fluid came out. It was great timing cause the epidural got knocked a few seconds later and the nurse and my now husband got me of the toilet and onto the bed for the remainder of my labor and delivery.

Don't think about it, I worried about my water breaking at work for weeks before and it ended up happening perfectly.

My water broke at 37+4 and it was a huge gush. I also felt and heard a small pop sound too. After the big gush, small amounts kept leaking for the next few hours. I lost my mucous plug 11 hours before my water broke so I had a feeling something was about to happen soon

My water broke with my first 2 kids. I wouldnt say its incommon at all. It happens to a lot of women. It was a gush with my first and a trickle with my 2nd. Dont be scared, it doesnt really hurt, its just suprising and sometimes inconvenient if ur out in public lol.

It's not super uncommon for people's water to break lol, honestly they had to break my at the hospital, but I know plenty of people who it broke on their own and there are lots of labour stories on here where they include where their water broke

I had been crampy all day then all of the sudden I felt and heard a pop deep down in my pelvis almost like a bone cracking so I stood up and a ton of fluid went down my legs and within 10 minutes I was in full blown knee buckling labor. Scary but also a relief.
