No issues, was slightly uncomfortable but not painful. Contractions started within a few minutes following the waters being broke. Had an epidural after a couple hours and baby was born in total 4hrs 51mins after they broke my waters. 3 pushes in total over 5 mins and baby girl made her appearance ❤️xx

Didn't feel a thing both times just a pop & lots of fluid ❤️

I had my waters broke 9 weeks ago for the 3rd time… it’s absolutely fine but make sure you put a pad on after as they constantly leak out lol. My contractions took about an hour to start after having them broke x

The only thing that annoyed me (sensory issues) was the heat of the fluid going round my feet x

First time painless and second time just slightly uncomfortable. I had gas and air both times if I needed it

Was just slightly uncomfortable not painful. It just caught me slightly off guard how warm the amniotic fluid was 🤣

i got my waters broke when i was 10cm dilated and on gas and air, honestly it wasn’t bad at all just the feeling of it was a wee bit uncomfortable but no pain

Have had my waters broken with all 5 of mine. 4 I went into labour myself but waters didn't break and 5th I was induced a week early and waters broken. My contractions took ages to come on and eventually I was put on a drip. Getting waters broken isnt sore, slightly uncomfortable for a minute x

Had my waters broke 4 months ago.. no pain, slight discomfort. Wasn't a mad rush of water either, just a constant trickle.

All I remember is being aware of a popping sensation and then feeling it all gushing out.

I had my waters broken for my first and didn’t feel anything. For my second they happened on their own. Definitely nothing to worry about.

Haha with a couple kids I had it done and no not painful one felt anything with 3 rd kid and all I felt was my stomach sorta deflate a bit hahaha

As everyone else said not sore at all, at most slightly uncomfortable

I had mine broke, it wasn’t painful just uncomfortable. They gave me gas and air to take while it was happening x

Yea got water broken it was painful in the moment as they did it but after the water breaks it’s fine , the contractions were more painful for me anyways xx.

Not painful, just felt weird and was over in about a minute.
