water broke/ reptured sack

hellow to ya all......I'm siting here wondering what causes the sack or the water to not break when u r in labour.
I remember that whn I was in labour I had hectic pain on my lower back and it wasn't going away for hrs and I was in the labour ward but the strange thing I saw people whose water broke before giving birth but mine never did untill my doctor put something inside me and broke it by himself then I gave birth.

anyone who has an Idea y other peoples water break and others don't........is it possible that with all my children I it will have to be broken by a doctor and are there any side effects due to thin on the baby maybe in a long run....and also how is it possible to give birth to a baby who is in a sack coz I heard that there are babies born in a sack......

I just currious so if anyone has an idea what so ever plz kindly answer this.

regard Lolly!

my baby boy was 7.7 pounds maybe that's y mine had to be broken by the doc. and mybe the sacks r different, maybe otheres are thicker than the others my opinion though.....since people differ.

yho after it was broken there was this thing that wanted me to push and my doc told me to waite half an hr and I couldint the thing wanted me to push and I told my doc that I can't waite that long I'm pushing now he checked me and told me that the cervix is coming out coz I'm only dialated to 8...He said I must breath in and out it only 2 dialations left....I really couldn't I pushed and he pushed back the cervix while I was phushing the baby out......and I gave birth to a handsome son ......ohh I love him to death, that one is my life........I'd kill for him.

before I gave birth I use tothink that I wouldn't be able to hold him and I'd be scared to carry him but once they gave him to me the first word I said was " oh my baby" and I fell in love with him the exact moment. and he was crying....I was so excited I couldn't be bothered by the crying though I normally go mad I the baby crys non stop......and what made me happy more is that it was a boy and I have a thing with baby boys even when I was young I use to say I want my fist child to be a boy and God helped me.

sorry for all of this it's just dat I get excited whn I talk of him.

Well my water broke when I was pregnant with my first. I had just unpacked my hospital bag so I could repack it and it felt like I had to go to the bathroom. When I got up my water broke. It was happy, scared and it felt gross all at the same time. I only had maybe about 4 contractions in the  8hrs  i had to wait on my c-section.

I actually prefer not to have mine broken by my doc.  I think out of the ones I've had that broke on their own.....my labor was much more comfortable.   I think the water acts as a cushion during contractions and doesn't hurt as much.   My opinion tho.  The labors that my water broke on their own were actually shorter too.  I was much more calm with less discomfort if that makes sense.

I had to have mine broken with my son when I was 9cm. But he created a plug and barely any of the fluid came out. It all gushed out when he came out. My mom had 4 kids and her water never broke, the doc always did it during labor. It does help to speed things up though once your water has broken. Everyone is different. I am pregnant with number 2 and I wonder what will happen this time around.

My water broke with both of my boys before I ever got to the hospital and the doc said it was just because the baby just pushed its weight limits and pop so there is still hope ! PS having your water break is like the ickiest thing I have ever had happen so don't worry :)

Actually, only something like 15% of women's water breaks before delivery, most of the time the water breaks either during delivery or the doctor artificially breaks your water.  There's nothing wrong with that and when the doctor does it, it does help to increase your contractions.
It is very very rare for a baby to be born in the sac, your water needs to break to create some space between the placenta and the uterus and release the baby before the uterus releases the placenta.

If you are a member of you tube, you can look up births of babies born in the sac. I saw one video and the mid wife in it said it was supposed to mean good luck. Drs will break your water to speed up your labor, and get it going stronger. I'm not sure if you'll have to have it broken again, but it's not an uncommon procedure.
