I presume the girl was pregnant with twins, that were not identical, and thus had two separate amniotic sacs. So, she would be saying that both sacs had lost the amniotic liquid. It could be a case of the waters having leaked, so both sacs breaking, or of not having enough amniotic liquid, which is not good.

ONe of my twins waters broke, the other came out still in the sac of water!

You have fore waters and hind. The fore is a trickle comes then is blocked by baby's head. The hind is the rest. Mine came out in one big gush.
