If your water broke the first time..

Did it break on it's own again 2nd or 3rd time around? Mine broke on it's own which I'm hoping will happen again since I heard it's not too pleasant to have it broken for you. Also it was a very obvious sign that I was actually in labor.

Mine broke at 36+2 with my first and 36+1 with my second.

Mine broke with first but they broke them for me for second... although if I had labored at home longer they would've probably broken at home... my contractions were much more painful with my second so I went in a little bit sooner...

Mine broke with my first 11 days over. They broke again with my second at 39 weeks x

Mine broke right at the start of labour with first but with second didn't break til his head was coming out

There is NO reason they have to be broken. Babies can be born still in their sack. First time I did break it myself though and it didn't hurt at all.
