I am almost 37 weeks pregnant with my third baby and with previous two my waters were broken (for no apparent reason other than to speed things along). My second labour was progressing faster than I could manage anyway, and I didn't feel that I was consulted prior to the midwife breaking the waters.
So I have heard of babies being born with the amniotic sac intact still and then broken on birth, and I was wondering if anyone had experience of this. Does this make labour more difficult?
Any information would be much appreciated as I am trying to write some things down in the form of a birth plan and would like as little intervention as possible.
Thank you
