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 🤣

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.

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
