Hi Dee! My water also never broke of its own accord and so the doctor always had to do it. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with a huge gush of water though. With Love, Grace

The cartoon in your post made me laugh so hard!
But I had the same question, I am glad to now know more about the subject, it's so much more comforting as a young pregnant mom!

I thought my water broke with my first, so they let me stay to have the baby even though they were about to send me home. Seven hours later, the doctor finally broke my water for real and we thought it was so funny that we could have made that mistake. When it really breaks, there is water everywhere, at least there was for me, so I didn't make that mistake on my 2nd!! LOL. Thanks for

My water "broke" 2/6 times. Both times it was more like leaking than breaking. Both times I was lying in bed and felt a pop, but nothing began leaking until /i got out of bed. No puddles. I was watching a birth show this morning and the lady's water broke and there was a large puddle under her, so I guess it can happen that way. I hate it when my water breaks because it makes labor

2012-01-08T21:52:08.213-05:00

I felt a little pop getting ready for bed. Went to sleep and woke up running to the bathroom, it seemed to just drip by then. My ex-husband had to take a shower and get some things together so he would not be bored at the hospital. We waited about 3 hours. I had already started having contractions earler in the day. He even wanted to ride around to make sure it was the real thing. My water had

Oh boy...I had no progress at all then 1 night..2 weeks before my due date. I was laying in bed, and I felt a bit of a pop...and then water...I wasn't sure if I peed the bed, so I stood up and it just kept dripping! it was alot..but more of a tricking, but I am sure if I stood in one place long enough it would've been a lot! I was so glad my water broke though..at least I knew the baby

2012-01-07T23:07:49.809-05:00

it's definitely a sensation similar to peeing...my friend actually never even called her doc or anything when hers was leaking, because she was obviously almost at her due date and just figured her bladder was a little weaker and she was leaking a little pee every now and then...when really, it was her water that had broke, it just wasn't gushing everywhere like the movies tell you! LOL

2012-01-06T16:24:16.653-05:00

With our first, I was asleep in bed after a full day of contractions and wondering if it was labor. After about two hours of sleep, I woke to a feeling like I was peeing the bed and couldn't make it stop. That's how we finally knew it was labor.
With the next two, my water broke around 7-8cm in the hospital.
The last one I had again been having contractions, but was unsure if

2012-01-06T16:07:29.318-05:00

The first 2 kids, the doc had to break it. #3 was on a superbowl Sunday. I told my husband not to go to that party, I was going to have the baby (4 weeks early) and Whooosh, a flood! I was standing on the carpet in the living room. I just screamed, I wouldnt move and just hollard get me some towels! After that it continued to trickle all the way to the hospital and for hours while I waited. So

2012-01-06T15:34:26.599-05:00

water broke while we were sitting down to dinner I think I heard it more than felt it if that makes sense didn't leak much but you could tell what it was
ended up doing a c section 12 hours later big boy no dilation progress lol
however the big gush came the next morning they finally came in to get me up (I can sleep a week after surgery) when I stood up realized noone had

2012-01-06T14:01:50.951-05:00

That cartoon is hilarious. With my son, I thought I had wet myself! I had just laid down, when my leg felt wet. Got up and went to the bathroom, felt/heard something pop, and then a gush of water. Funny thing was, when I got to the hospital, they had to repop it, because it popped near the top, so only part of the fluid came out.

2012-01-06T12:02:41.301-05:00

On the couch and I swear I heard it like a water balloon popping(although no one else has ever said this) It was kinda a lot, it definitely wasn't a tickle but it also doesn't stop after the gush.. oh the joys of motherhood.

The second time I was in labor at home getting ready to leave for the hospital and ofcourse I wanted to put fresh sheets on the bed for when I got home. I bent over and felt like a balloon pop. As a stood up it was a heavy trickle not a gush. I did go threw three over night pad from house to hospital approx 45mins. I must add contraction become intense and very close. From every 15 to every 2!!

I never had it happen to me either. The doctor did it both times, but it has to happen to some people!

My water broke at home while I was climbing the stairs. It was just a trickle. The gush didn't happen until I was at the birthing center and dilated 7 cm

My water broke when I was in bed (#2 child) and I got up and I am talkin it was gushing and I was getting water all over the place. I couldnt even walk into the carpeted room to grab my bag for the hospital, and riding in the car for the hour drive was pretty funny too, we had garbage bags, towels, towels between my legs and it was crazy. Got to the hospital and they put me in a wheelchair and I

2012-01-06T02:21:06.824-05:00

This seems to be a recurring topic in my life lately. I recently read an article about pregnancy in Cosmo and one man asked what it means when your water breaks, how you stop the water from coming out forever, etc. It made me realize that I know absolutely nothing about this part of childbirth!

It didn't happen to me but a friend was at the mall with her younger brother when he water broke. Talk about embarrassing!

With my first two the Dr. broke my water but with baby #3 it broke at home. I thought I had peed my pants and was so embarassed every time I stood up I would have the same. So, called the Dr. went in and as it turns out had not peed my pants I was having a baby .

2012-01-05T23:16:55.661-05:00

with my first I got up to go into the kitchen to wash dishes and my water broke. It was on my due date and only had a few contractions all day. It broke and partially gushed and I changed clothes like 3 or 4 times before my friend got there to drive me to the hospital. And before she got there the tree guys that were cutting down my tree knocked on the door.. It was crazy!! I just knew my

2012-01-05T23:16:07.788-05:00

Mine broke around 2am, after I'd been in early labor for 24 hours. My husband said, "Are you sure your water broke? You're sure you didn't just pee a little or something?" Ha! But it wasn't a lot of fluid--most of the amniotic fluid made its appearance after my daughter's head appeared.

2012-01-05T22:23:01.660-05:00

Mine broke on its own with our 2nd child. It broke after my shower so I didn't notice under I realized the dripping wasn't from me being wet from coming out of the shower. It then dripped pretty heavily (soaked through my shorts) for 2 hrs until my husband got home and we got to the hospital. When I walked in the hospital lobby it gushed out so bad that a lady in the lobby walked up to

2012-01-05T22:21:32.515-05:00

by the way Hollywood does over dramatize quite often...of course now, my step daughter went to the hospital with mild contractions, nurse checked her and said it would be a couple of hours till the baby came.. She went into the bathroom and yelled for her husband to call the nurse as she was about to deliver.. and she did deliver in the bathroom...

I woke from a nap to a wet bed, so I knew something wasn't right, got up to go to the bathroom and again water ran down my leg... So I got in the shower and then called the doctor...
