I had my son at 38 weeks and 6 days, i had been getting period type pain for the last 4 days beforehand, and then i had a huge gush of blood and had to get to the hospital. I was induced the next day cause they think i was bleeding from my placenta detaching.

With my  first I was 40+1 when they told me I was 3 cms and they were inducing me. They broke my water that night. With my youngest who is s week old I was 38+4 I had an emergency appendectomy at 32weeks and had been having contractions off and on since then. I was having contractions nothing really time able but I was 4cms dilated so they just broke my water

With my first I was 40week when they broke my water with my new baby I was 38 weeks 5 days. I was 3cms dilated at the office when they checked me but wasn't having contractions they were going to induce me 3 days later if I wasnr having contractions. Well.. after my midwife checked me I started habing contractions I went to the maternity floor and I was 4 cms so they broke my water. I had been having contractions on and off for 2 months so I guess you could say I knew it was time

Oh wow! Did you feel alot of pressure right before it broke? My kids are a little older now so it feels all new again kind of but I've never had my water break until I was in the hospital bed. I want to experience it breaking before I make it to the hospital.

I had ny daughter at 39w6d so the say before my due date. I knew it was going to happen that day just because I felt my first 2 contractions at 4 am then at 5 am I went pee and laid in bed and felt really wet so I figured I might not be done. Stood in the bathroom and my water broke.
