My waters didn't break until DS's head was coming out! I'd ring the midwife straightaway and she what they advise. Good luck :)

My waters never broke with any of my 3 dc!

Had them broken for me each time

I would get yourself down to the hospital yay!

Ds waters went one push before he popped out. Good luck

Some babies are born with the waters still intact

I called mw and she said sounds like early stages, to see how i go and call in an hour or so.

Eek! I hope he comes today coz its my due date today!

Yep, lots of babies are born in the Caul! Sounds exciting. Happy Birthing!

Non of my 3 water broke till well into the labour when I was pushing. Wet 3 separate midwives in the process. The best one was when I was induced and she broke them and it gushed all over her she had to change km to surgical scrubs. The other 2 broke themselves mid labour

DS2's waters went as he was crowning. For a second, I actually thought his head had exploded Blush
