My water broke and I didn't have any contractions until I was 7 cms dilated. And even when I did have them they weren't bad at all. Like period cramps. My water broke at 930 am and I had my baby at 246 PM and he was my 1st and he was 9 lbs.
With my second child, the doctor broke my water at 7 1/2 cm then 8 minutes later i started pushing and my daughter was born after 2 pushes! Birth is crazy, beautiful, and amazing
shandii toontorials hey it actually went amazing it was my first baby i was in labor for 9hrs and pushed 4 times and she came i also didn’t get the epidural because my contractions weren’t that bad until 7 cm
With covid 19 and all labor classes cancelled...i am sooooo grateful for you!! 30 weeks pregnant and soooo nervous lol u keep me calm...and ur humor is just what we need!!
I arrived in the pushing phase, 5 minutes later, in the bed, pushed 2xs, they did NOT ask, but the physician came in said, breaking water! A slight push later and baby came sliding right out. Thank God.. pregnant now with #2, and hope my water breaks in the ER parking lot.. this covid crap makes everything so much more stressful.
With my second birth my water broke in my kitchen and instantly my contractions were STRONG and was in in full blown active labor it was crazy. We had to speed through traffic . By the time we got to the hospital his head was basically out. Labor was less than 2 hours
Did your water break with your first too? I’m having my second daughter in February and my water didn’t break with my first so I’m curious if it will this time.😊
@@bananabear7399 my water didn’t break on it’s own with my first. I think my body didn’t know what to do before labor started. But second kid- my body knew what was going on.
My wife and I are about to go through our third round of child births but this is the first time I have tried to be this educated. Very happy for your videos they are easy to understand and down to earth. Thanks again, it really helps me.
Yes! Take your time getting to the hospital!! With my first, no one told me that even after water breaking, labor could still take awhile. Lucky for me, it was a total of 12 hours from water breaking, but there was literally no rush!! Also, wear a pad/adult diaper and bring a towel!! Again, no one told me it will keep trickling out if it does break!!
I worked for an OB/CNM practice at one time who did not go by the 24 hour rule. He had the patients stay home, nothing in vagina, shoers nstead of baths and checking temps a couple times a day . The practice had the lowest csection rate and best outcome of any practice in the city
@@user-pk1bb6nf1q There is NO sense in being so RUDE, and just down right HATEFUL ! Honestly, I’m sure Sarah her self, would not appreciate the disrespect,either! Not everyone is in the U.S, and therefore they speak/type/write differently. Oh, and let’s not forget auto correct that we don’t always catch before we hit “send” So, SERIOUSLY, there’s no need to be so dang mean, and name calling!🙄 It’s pretty immature! If you “can’t read it” then just scroll pass, or nicely ask them to clarify what they were trying to say! It’s simple🤷♀️ She only got like two words messed up, and it looks like an auto correct thing anyways!🙄😂 What she wrote is perfectly “ readable” if not, then idk what to tell ya🤷♀️
I'm 14wks pregnant with my first baby. I'm so nervous and just trying to educate myself as much as possibly and as early as possible. Your videos surely help so much! Thank you for easing the mind of a first time mama♡
30 weeks pregnant and Im just realizing that I’m going to have to give birth to this baby soon. And I’m trying not to freak out. This video was so informative , and you are just so calm and relaxing. Thank you!! I’m about to binge watch the rest of your videos!
I watched the first half of this video before I went to sleep and in the middle of the night my water broke, so I’m just laying down and watching the rest 😂
My water broke dramatically while working on the nursery before contractions started at 37 weeks and the hospital wanted me to come right away. Baby was born 11 hours later!
I was pregnant with my 3rd at exactly 37 weeks & I knew my water bag was leaking. I went to the hospital & they did a q-tip check & even tho it was covered in blood. They said it wasn’t broken. The next day I didn’t have an appointment but waited all day to see the doctor , she did the same q-tip test & it was still negative but said I was 3 centimeters dilated. That was Friday afternoon , Tuesday morning I went in to get induced I was 5 centimeters dilated & in active labor. When my doctor went to pop my water bag (I’ve had it done 2 times before) I felt absolutely NOTHING come out & she knew that & heard me say that I felt no water & she didn’t say one word to me nor look at me, all she did was throw the plastic she used to pop my bag away & immediately Walked out. I was LIVID & my wonderful amazing nurse did her best to reassure me that everything was going to be okay & that it happens sometimes & to not get upset about it bc that can affect the babies heart rate.
Im watching this while my waterbroke 1 hour ago. My contractions are irregular. Planning to go only if my contractions getting stronger. Thank you for the helpful and informative advices. Btw, my babygirl will be name Sarah too! 💕
@MellowMel I needed to be induced when ive reached the hospital. They told me im only 4 cm. huhu. so they put me to pitocin for half an hour and i cant stand the contraction pain. this was my 2nd time. the first time, my first son, i can bare the pitocin for 3 hours but dilation was still 3 cm. this time, i took epidural again but i didnt hold still so the meds didnt kick in much for both leg. so i still can feel the contraction and needed to push already. the epidural was on me for only 10-15 mins before i had to push and i was fully dilated. the whole process of getting epidural on me took at abt 1 hour. the doc was taking his time and i cant barely stand so they did it while i was lying side. but thanks to the failure of the epidural, i manage to find the wave of the contraction that helps me to push. it took me 3-4 push. for my first son , i did took epidural . and pushed for 3 hours cos it was hard finding the contraction wave cos u feel really numb . howver, all went fine and baby Sarah was born! 😃 She was born 2 weeks early from due date.
You are officially my favourite UA-cam channel and I have literally binge watched like 4 hours of your videos LOL love it! Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos!!
I was induced with my last pregnant and I remember 8 hours later, after a few cramps here and there, getting up, hearing/feeling the "pop" and then shit. got. real.
I’m on my 2nd baby (16 months apart) and my first made me realize I wanted to be an l&d rn. And you’ve just reinforced this for me. Love your energy and your passion!❤️
Sarah Lavonne they did the 3 tests and they came out inconclusive. I was still at 1.5cm now at 39+1 I'm at a 2cm with 3cm effaced which is like 25% I think. Trying to find ways to dilate to avoid an induction
Sarah Lavonne well just in the case that I go over then yes. Last week Wednesday I was 1.5 and this past Wednesday I was 2cm. Feels like I'm dilating slowly. I will look at your video. I believe I have but I've looked at so many I lost track lol
Im about to be a daddy in May, and I am freaked out for the day that baby decides to come🤤... but your videos put me at ease that Although I am not the one giving birth, I sure will know whats happening and what to do lol😊
Aww! I love when guys comment on videos like this! Congratulations! It’s nice to see your comment and it sounds like you’re gonna be an amazing Daddy. We are due in 5 weeks with our 2nd.😁
My due date is today and I just discovered your videos😁 Baby’s not here yet but these are so helpful. At least I have an idea of what to expect.Thanks😊
I just came across your video and this would have been so incredibly helpful 7 years ago when I had my son. I will be recommending your videos to my new mommy friends
With my first baby, her head was super low and i was 3 cm dilated at 38 weeks. My dr said my water won’t break because the baby’s head was blocking the way. It was a relief knowing that. My waters never broke with my other babies.
Omg this was the best explanation ever. You’re so good at this making it approachable to understand and with the perfect amount of humor. And I love how you give alternative scenarios as well as alternative choices.
So interesting, in my country (austria) they told me IF the water breaks, lie down immediately and call the ambulance so they pick you up and you don’t go to the hospital privately 🤷🏼♀️ you make It sound much less scary
In a recent large study, 76.5% of people with term PROM went into labor within 24 hours, and 90% were in labor within 48 hours (Pintucci et al., 2014). Although some of these people (16%) were induced, most (84%) went into labor on their own. In another large study, researchers assigned some women to wait for up to 72 hours for labor to begin after their water broke. Out of these women, 83% went into labor on their own and had a normal vaginal birth (Shalev et al., 1995). Some researchers have found that it may take longer for people giving birth for the first time to go into labor after their water breaks. One study found that 20% of people giving birth for the first time waited longer than 48 hours for contractions to begin after PROM, while only 7% of those who had given birth before took longer than 48 hours after PROM (Morales & Lazar, 1986).
Thank you so much. This is a relief. My water is broken already, almost 24hrs now and no contractions. Doctor advised I wait for 48hrs. Been so nervous as a first-time mom.
My feelings were, like, super hurt when I was in labor with my second child because I had "the trickles" and after several hours of my labor not progressing the doc still hadn't set up to have my water broken for me... from experience I told him "Once my water breaks, we're talking go time and it'll be minutes before it's all over" and he just kept spending his time running around managing other patients while I suffered, had IV antibiotics setup for hours (which later amounted to thrush for my baby and a yeast infection on my nipples), ended up with an epidural in the name of sleep and exhausted before he finally said "Okay, lets do it" and broke my waters. It was like he was just dangling me on a string and I hated it. It really sucked. 39 hours of labor for my second child when it could have been more like 4 hours. He then left and minutes later (as I said on another one of your videos) I stated to the nurse that I felt like I had to pee despite having a catheter put in and refused to let her walk out of the room without checking me, only to discover my daughter's head sticking out. Lol So yeah. In my experience (4 times), once my water broke, I had about 10 to 15 minutes before delivery was all over. I'm still kind of mad at that guy for dragging me along like that!
Omg i just discover you yesterday and I feel like you being with me all my pregnancy... I will love to have you as a nurse on my delivery day, you are so nice and explain very well! Thank you !! Every video I watch from you I feel more confident to be in my delivery. Sorry about my English.
when I had my son I was 17 I was cooking dinner for my boyfriend my water broke 😩 and my water broke at 11:30 pa and I had my son at 1:30 AM 😩 and now he's 7 months 😊😊😊
I literally know all about labor I just watch your videos because you’re hilarious and explain things in a very reassuring way! I hope you get a show one day! Much love❤️
I’m 35 and getting ready to have my first in July. Doc has already warned me that he will be big due to gestational diabetes and I’ll probably get induced early. These videos are very informative and are definitely helpful for calming my nerves. It also educated my hubby though he goes “eww” a lot. Lol
I remember laying in my bed early morning and around 10am my water broke and i didn't realize until I felt my bed soaked. The contractions started 5 minutes after and when I got to the hospital the nurses checked to see how dilated I was, my cervix was only 4 centimeters open. I was in labor for about 9 hrs and didn't give birth till 8 pm that same day. She is definitely right about not having to rush out the door, i made the mistake of running out the door and forgetting my packed hospital bag.
Love your videos. Had my Lil man January 8th. Only the back of my water broke. My midwife had to break the front. These videos helped me out so much during the last week's of pregnancy and even through my labor. You helped way more then my midwives.
I don't want kids or anything so I'm not going to go through this, but it's just so nice watching these videos and learn what actually is going on, what happens, what the procedures are etc. Thankyou xx
I woke up from a nap and as I sat up I heard and felt 2 pops then a gush, moments later contractions started thick and fast 😂 got to stay at home for 2 hours alone waiting for my partner and it was advised by a midwife! I feel so lucky to have experience my waters breaking first.
I am a mother of two and currently pregnant and I have never gotten the chance to yell BABE! MY WATER BROKE! LOL... hopefully I can this time... is it weird that I want to 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
So funny the water gush happened with my friend's 3rd and pops was shook! Couldn't find the keys, looking for his phone while on it, running around. He was so calm with the others but this really got him going 🤭
@@crispycaboodles so my water broke while she was coming.... I got turned back from the hospital and an hr later she came... in my mother n law's kitchen 🤦🏾♀️ it was a bad experience because everyone was scared which was even more stress on me
Mine broke with my second just as I stood up from sitting on the couch and I just thought I had peed myself. Definitely wasnt a big dramatic gush of water for me
When you said "replace the water that was lost"... YEP! Totally true! They did a water catheter on me when I was induced with my daughter. I had never heard of it before. I thought it was really cool. It wasn't long after that until she was born, but still.... It's just amazing what they can do.
I’m doing a home birth next time. My hospital story for baby 1 sucked. This water bag information is super important. There’s even a way you can break your own water if you decide to during your home labor. All this information is so empowering.
OMG! Amazing video! With my first baby I ran to the hospital, and I wish I did not because i was not contracting at all. I wish I called my doc ahead of time. With this pregnancy (33 weeks today) I'm educating myself. Thank you❣❣❣❣
my first baby. my water broke 2.10 am this morning. i feel like having toilet cramp and contraction every 2mins apart. i am waiting until the dawn and see how it goes :) thanks for Sarah Lavonne.
I had my daughter super quick after my water broke. Within like 20 mins I was having contractions 1 apart before it broke went to hospital they sent me home saying I was not dilated enough. Got back home in the tub and the contractions we're worse and pop water breaks after I stand up to get out of tub full blown labor. Make it back to the hospital as I am super close .Almost had the poor girl in the wheelchair.
I wud advice first timer mother to follow you u are the bomb u helped me through this and was able to know signs of labour Lucia from Kenya much luv God blesd
Thank you for this. This will be my first child. I am due in dec 4th but will be staying at my parents house until after labor, since my husband has school and work during the day.
I had my baby 3 weeks ago and you answered so many questions I had Bout my labour! It now explains so much. My contractions got stronger right as soon as my water broke but it was a trickle and I wasn't sure if was my water... Wish I would've seen this video before hand like your other videos there so great.
I've had 4 babies, and my water was always broken by my ob. My first I was about 6cms, my second I was 4cms, my third, I was stuck at 3cms all day, after the ob broke my water, I went from 3cms to 10cms in an hour, and my fourth, my water was broken at 6cms again. I always kinda wish I'd experienced my water breaking on its own. After my first, I had braxton hicks starting at about 20 weeks, so it was always hard for me to tell if I was actually in labor or not! The water breaking is a sure sign that if labor hasn't yet started, its imminent!
Second video I’ve watched of yours and I had to subscribe ❤️ due in August with my first baby and your videos are helping so much! Thanks for posting 🥰
Erin Ross Ended up having my son on the 14th by induction, I was terrified! But you’ll make it mama! All the pain goes away the second you see your little one ❤️ best of luck to you, praying for an easy delivery and a healthy baby 💕
My water broke before 37 weeks, twice, as a gush. And then contractions were hard and strong. Here I am pushing 37 weeks, waiting for my water to break again 😂 and for some reason, I’m terrified of it happening again. glad I found your channel! Binge watching!
Lol same happened to me. I was 21 when my first was born. I was at work and kept running to the bathroom. I finally called my mom and told her I keep having to pee and it's getting to the point I can hardly make it there and I'm wetting myself. My mom laughed and said to bring my butt home right now because my water just broke 😂.
My water broke with my daughter first. My midwife asked all those Taco questions, told me to just chill out and pay attention to my body and let her know. She also told me to keep drinking plenty of water, she said your body keeps replenishing the amniotic fluid. Six hours later my daughter was born, it was pretty awesome, she was my first.
My water was leaking so we went in. I could feel it coming out. They tested it and it came back negative. Leaked the entire next day and night. Woke up and was leaking more. Brushed my teeth to go back in and gagged from brushing my tongue. It went everywhere. I filled 2 depends before even leaving the house and another one going to the hospital. It was green and chunky because baby had pooped. Baby was born 12 hours later.
My doctor told me that I had two waters which is rare. So my water broke initially in the hospital but then the doctor had to break the second one while was in transition.
Retired labor nurse here! Love your style. I recommended your videos to my pregnant daughter and son in law.
Hey
Covid 19 brought me here! All our birthing classes were cancelled. SO grateful I found your channel! :)
Same here....!!!
Same here too
Yes ❤
Right
Same!!
My water broke and I didn't have any contractions until I was 7 cms dilated. And even when I did have them they weren't bad at all. Like period cramps. My water broke at 930 am and I had my baby at 246 PM and he was my 1st and he was 9 lbs.
Girl we are the lucky few but I'm pregnant again! I hope this is the case again...
Blessings!! I pray to have something similar to this story this summer with my daughter July 2019❤💜💙💚😊😊😊
God bless
Did u have any tearing I’m due in 5 weeks with my first
Wow that’s amazing! How lucky.
With my second child, the doctor broke my water at 7 1/2 cm then 8 minutes later i started pushing and my daughter was born after 2 pushes! Birth is crazy, beautiful, and amazing
does it hurt when the doctor breaks your water?
@@sweetpotato_ yes it was painful for me I had to tell the nurse to stop and then my contractions became way more intense
My wife is 30 weeks pregnant and Ive been watching your videos to learn signs and symptoms of labor! Lol. Wish us luck!
That’s cool that you’re so involved!
I'm 37 weeks with my first baby and I'm sooooo happy I found your channel! So helpful.. thank you.
Me too
My water literally just broke after what a thought a little false labor 😭🎀 so excited !!!
How did your birth go?

Did they try giving your pitocin once you got to the hospital?
Could you possibly make a video about marginal cord insertion, and other umbilical cord complications? Your so great at explaining things

In a recent large study, 76.5% of people with term PROM went into labor within 24 hours, and 90% were in labor within 48 hours (Pintucci et al., 2014). Although some of these people (16%) were induced, most (84%) went into labor on their own.
In another large study, researchers assigned some women to wait for up to 72 hours for labor to begin after their water broke. Out of these women, 83% went into labor on their own and had a normal vaginal birth (Shalev et al., 1995).
Some researchers have found that it may take longer for people giving birth for the first time to go into labor after their water breaks. One study found that 20% of people giving birth for the first time waited longer than 48 hours for contractions to begin after PROM, while only 7% of those who had given birth before took longer than 48 hours after PROM (Morales & Lazar, 1986).
Thank you so much. This is a relief.
My water is broken already, almost 24hrs now and no contractions. Doctor advised I wait for 48hrs. Been so nervous as a first-time mom.
My feelings were, like, super hurt when I was in labor with my second child because I had "the trickles" and after several hours of my labor not progressing the doc still hadn't set up to have my water broken for me... from experience I told him "Once my water breaks, we're talking go time and it'll be minutes before it's all over" and he just kept spending his time running around managing other patients while I suffered, had IV antibiotics setup for hours (which later amounted to thrush for my baby and a yeast infection on my nipples), ended up with an epidural in the name of sleep and exhausted before he finally said "Okay, lets do it" and broke my waters. It was like he was just dangling me on a string and I hated it. It really sucked. 39 hours of labor for my second child when it could have been more like 4 hours. He then left and minutes later (as I said on another one of your videos) I stated to the nurse that I felt like I had to pee despite having a catheter put in and refused to let her walk out of the room without checking me, only to discover my daughter's head sticking out. Lol
So yeah. In my experience (4 times), once my water broke, I had about 10 to 15 minutes before delivery was all over. I'm still kind of mad at that guy for dragging me along like that!
Omg i just discover you yesterday and I feel like you being with me all my pregnancy... I will love to have you as a nurse on my delivery day, you are so nice and explain very well! Thank you !!
Every video I watch from you I feel more confident to be in my delivery. Sorry about my English.
when I had my son I was 17 I was cooking dinner for my boyfriend my water broke 😩 and my water broke at 11:30 pa and I had my son at 1:30 AM 😩 and now he's 7 months 😊😊😊
I literally know all about labor I just watch your videos because you’re hilarious and explain things in a very reassuring way! I hope you get a show one day! Much love❤️
You are stunning! You could easily be a model.
I love your content- I mean it's primarily the same information as given by other providers but man you're a crack up!
“Omg I juts soaked my panties again! “ Sarah: who says panties 😂😂😂😂
I’m 30 weeks and so thankful I found your channel!
Alyssa Lovejoy I’m 30 weeks too
The way you explained it makes me less nervous for my water to break. I have a month and a half left 😁
Christina Dapontes oh wow when are you due! I have about the same time left!
I’m 35 and getting ready to have my first in July. Doc has already warned me that he will be big due to gestational diabetes and I’ll probably get induced early. These videos are very informative and are definitely helpful for calming my nerves. It also educated my hubby though he goes “eww” a lot. Lol
I remember laying in my bed early morning and around 10am my water broke and i didn't realize until I felt my bed soaked. The contractions started 5 minutes after and when I got to the hospital the nurses checked to see how dilated I was, my cervix was only 4 centimeters open. I was in labor for about 9 hrs and didn't give birth till 8 pm that same day. She is definitely right about not having to rush out the door, i made the mistake of running out the door and forgetting my packed hospital bag.
Love your videos. Had my Lil man January 8th. Only the back of my water broke. My midwife had to break the front. These videos helped me out so much during the last week's of pregnancy and even through my labor. You helped way more then my midwives.
I don't want kids or anything so I'm not going to go through this, but it's just so nice watching these videos and learn what actually is going on, what happens, what the procedures are etc. Thankyou xx
Had to watch this again....have 5 weeks left and needed a refresh! You're AWESOME!!!!!! Can you please do a VBAC video!
The Dr. broke my water. I didn't notice stronger contractions.
Thank God! 😊
I woke up from a nap and as I sat up I heard and felt 2 pops then a gush, moments later contractions started thick and fast 😂 got to stay at home for 2 hours alone waiting for my partner and it was advised by a midwife! I feel so lucky to have experience my waters breaking first.
I am a mother of two and currently pregnant and I have never gotten the chance to yell BABE! MY WATER BROKE! LOL... hopefully I can this time... is it weird that I want to 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
So funny the water gush happened with my friend's 3rd and pops was shook! Couldn't find the keys, looking for his phone while on it, running around. He was so calm with the others but this really got him going 🤭
@@crispycaboodles so my water broke while she was coming.... I got turned back from the hospital and an hr later she came... in my mother n law's kitchen 🤦🏾♀️ it was a bad experience because everyone was scared which was even more stress on me
Oh my goodness that is scary! I hope everyone is okay sending you lots of love
@@crispycaboodles we are ok now but in April it was very rough its still rough for me to talk about and I dnt like to go back to that day
Mine broke with my second just as I stood up from sitting on the couch and I just thought I had peed myself. Definitely wasnt a big dramatic gush of water for me
When you said "replace the water that was lost"... YEP! Totally true! They did a water catheter on me when I was induced with my daughter. I had never heard of it before. I thought it was really cool. It wasn't long after that until she was born, but still.... It's just amazing what they can do.
31 weeks pregnant with my 5th, loving all your vids.
"Who says 'panties'?" Hahaha THANK YOU, I hate that word 😂😂
Unless I have complications, I am staying home till the last minute.
CandyCandy SAME!!!!! not going to be turned around!!!! 🙄i better be screaming bloody murder
CandyCandy me tooo😩
Why?
You could be in risk of infection though.....
I’m doing a home birth next time. My hospital story for baby 1 sucked. This water bag information is super important. There’s even a way you can break your own water if you decide to during your home labor. All this information is so empowering.
This is very informative, i wish i knew about this, I freaked out 4hrs ago.. 😂 im at ease now. Thank you
Excellent job explaining this whole process! Very thorough. Thank you! 💜
OMG! Amazing video! With my first baby I ran to the hospital, and I wish I did not because i was not contracting at all. I wish I called my doc ahead of time. With this pregnancy (33 weeks today) I'm educating myself. Thank you❣❣❣❣
This is super informative and I feel like my baby might be coming tonight or tomorrow 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 .
I was contracting and as soon as my water broke my daughter came right out 😂
my first baby. my water broke 2.10 am this morning. i feel like having toilet cramp and contraction every 2mins apart. i am waiting until the dawn and see how it goes :) thanks for Sarah Lavonne.
I had my daughter super quick after my water broke. Within like 20 mins I was having contractions 1 apart before it broke went to hospital they sent me home saying I was not dilated enough. Got back home in the tub and the contractions we're worse and pop water breaks after I stand up to get out of tub full blown labor. Make it back to the hospital as I am super close .Almost had the poor girl in the wheelchair.
Omg, I thought i saved ur video last time..but I lost you?😡
So glad I found u again!!🥰👍👏 thankyou for ur videos💋
haha I'm still here! oxox
I am soooo happy to find your channel!!! Most helpful and informative information on youtube! Thank you!
I’m 35 weeks today and have a week and a half left of work before I go on maternity and I am PRAYING my water doesn’t break at work hahaha
I wud advice first timer mother to follow you u are the bomb u helped me through this and was able to know signs of labour Lucia from Kenya much luv God blesd
So happy I discovered you today....Due date is 10 days away!!!!
Thank you for this. This will be my first child. I am due in dec 4th but will be staying at my parents house until after labor, since my husband has school and work during the day.
I had my baby 3 weeks ago and you answered so many questions I had Bout my labour! It now explains so much. My contractions got stronger right as soon as my water broke but it was a trickle and I wasn't sure if was my water... Wish I would've seen this video before hand like your other videos there so great.
I've had 4 babies, and my water was always broken by my ob. My first I was about 6cms, my second I was 4cms, my third, I was stuck at 3cms all day, after the ob broke my water, I went from 3cms to 10cms in an hour, and my fourth, my water was broken at 6cms again. I always kinda wish I'd experienced my water breaking on its own. After my first, I had braxton hicks starting at about 20 weeks, so it was always hard for me to tell if I was actually in labor or not! The water breaking is a sure sign that if labor hasn't yet started, its imminent!
Thanks for the TACO..
I enjoyed this video bc it is hella educational, but I am really living for the amount of times she wapped the baby in the water sac.
Second video I’ve watched of yours and I had to subscribe ❤️ due in August with my first baby and your videos are helping so much! Thanks for posting 🥰
Congratulations!!!!
Same girl! I’m due on August 5th with my first baby & just subscribed to her LOL. Good luck!
I'm due Monday August 26th with my fourth kid, first boy!!! So excited and EXTREMELY NERVOUS!!! That pain scares the crap outta me!!!😱😱😱
Erin Ross Ended up having my son on the 14th by induction, I was terrified! But you’ll make it mama! All the pain goes away the second you see your little one ❤️ best of luck to you, praying for an easy delivery and a healthy baby 💕
@@destinyd721 thanks girl!!
My water broke before 37 weeks, twice, as a gush. And then contractions were hard and strong. Here I am pushing 37 weeks, waiting for my water to break again 😂 and for some reason, I’m terrified of it happening again. glad I found your channel! Binge watching!
Lol, that’s funny. I have had both extremes! I’ll be sharing them on my new channel!
My water broke in bed at 3:33am. I woke my husband up and said “I’m either peeing myself and I can’t stop or my water just broke”
Lol I was in bed getting to sleep. For a second I thought it was pee lol . then I saw blood then I drove to the hospital. So crazy.
Erica Speare same
Lol same happened to me. I was 21 when my first was born. I was at work and kept running to the bathroom. I finally called my mom and told her I keep having to pee and it's getting to the point I can hardly make it there and I'm wetting myself. My mom laughed and said to bring my butt home right now because my water just broke 😂.
Same!! Lol
My water broke with my daughter first. My midwife asked all those Taco questions, told me to just chill out and pay attention to my body and let her know. She also told me to keep drinking plenty of water, she said your body keeps replenishing the amniotic fluid. Six hours later my daughter was born, it was pretty awesome, she was my first.
I absolutely love your personality!
32+5 with twin girls and first time mom and your videos make me not stress lol I feel like I got this
Excellent demonstration!! Very helpful. Thank you!
My water was leaking so we went in. I could feel it coming out. They tested it and it came back negative. Leaked the entire next day and night. Woke up and was leaking more. Brushed my teeth to go back in and gagged from brushing my tongue. It went everywhere. I filled 2 depends before even leaving the house and another one going to the hospital. It was green and chunky because baby had pooped. Baby was born 12 hours later.
Dude u are freakin amazing!!! Where were u when I needed u a few years ago lol 😩😭
39 weeks and 5days , Wish me Luck ❤
Thank you for this .. very informative .
Love love love your videos!! You acting out the baby being born in the water sac was hilarious! :D Hee hee hee!!!!
My doctor told me that I had two waters which is rare. So my water broke initially in the hospital but then the doctor had to break the second one while was in transition.
