I was induced at 40+14 with dc2. Had the gel early evening and contractions started at some point during the night (I think around 2am ish). I was sleeping in between contractions so not really with it and midwife wasn't aware i was contracting.
Anyway, was examined at about 6am and was 4cm. Moved down to labour ward etc. At around 8am mw tried to break my waters but couldn't so called doctor to try. He had a good old prod and kept telling me to stop kicking him in the face (slightly ), anyway he came to the conclusion that my waters had already gone.
Dd born just over an hour later, very quick progression. My waters had indeed already gone but I sill have no idea when. I had no wet patches at any point, no leakages etc, fluid had been fine at both scans, plus at a private scan at 32 weeks.
So my quick question was has anyone else's waters broken and they don't know until labour? I'm currently 40+3 with dc3 and am assuming my waters are still there but if I didn't know they had broken before will I this time.
Also should point out I was induced with dd1 as well and had my waters ruptured for me but they were definitely there and intact. Dd2 was fine btw, had to stay in a extra night in case of infection but she was fine .
