Hi, mine trickled rather than broke and due to all the extra 'moisture' (tmi)that you experience in pregnancy, I thought it was just more of the same. Even thoughtI went to the hospital about 4 hours after it started, the MW sent me home as there was no real evidence that they had broken. The following evening though, they broke for real and we all knew about it!! my first pregnancy my waters were leaking at 35wks (didnt know it was my waters) the mw sent me to the hospital to get checked out,they did a internal and said your 3-4cm dialated,if your waters havent popped in a few hours then were going to do it for you,so after a few hours they did. my second pregnancy (twins) my waters went at 31wks and it was like a waterfall but everytime i went to the loo for a wee they was like a pulling sensation and it did feel like they were going to pop,so everytime this happened i stopped having a wee,so at 31wks i had the feeling again but i couldnt stop myself from having a wee cos i was busting and so they popped I wish id known lol my twins were early lmao I was at work and serving a customer and then i was like i need a wee like some of the others ladies i stood up to dash off and they broke i thought id wet myself but then the pains came lol!
