Also, for my mom 6 out of 7 broke on their own. The first, me, was broken by the dr because the dr wanted to speed up labor. She regrets it and never let them break them again.
"Only about 10 percent of labors begin with the breaking of the amniotic "water" sac. This may be surprising to learn since popular movies, books and TV shows reinforce the idea that every pregnant woman's water breaks, resulting in a pool of water all around her. In reality, some doctors or midwives have to break a laboring woman's water during delivery because it hasn't happened on its own. When that happens, you can expect up to six cups of amniotic fluid to come gushing out. Occasionally, a bag will rupture (with or without assistance) and the baby's head will act as a plug in the cervix, allowing just a tiny trickle of fluid out. In these cases, the sac will try to replenish itself until the baby is delivered, so expect some sogginess--up to a cup an hour--until your baby is in your arms."
^^This is what I meant. Don't know if that's what you're talking about or not!
My water mysteriously disappeared. Lol. At 4cm it was intact, by 7cm it was super thin and at 10 my nurse was confused! My water never broke it just disappeared. All the nurses were confused.

Second doctor broke at 41w (was in active labor though)
Only less than ten percent of women's water breaks prior to labor on Its own.
Second time it broke while in labor at the hospital
Third time it broke on its own while in labor...right before I started pushing.
@EricaK22 Did something go wrong with she broke your water last time?
