    With DS1 my waters broke spontaneously which kickstarted an 8-hour labour (tho the first 5-odd hours of contractions were mild). With DS2 I asked for ARM about six hours after my labour started ... bub was ready to pop out and membranes were bulging. Bub was born about 45 mins after. FYI - I didn't feel the ARM, just incredible relief as fluid gushed everywhere - it's one of my main memories of DS2's birth LOL.

    My waters broke with DD and contractions started 10minutes later and they were regular from there. Ended in a ceaser 17.5hrs later.

    With DS was attempting a VBAC as well was in labour but once i went to the hospital some time later they ruptured my membranes at 4cms.

    Winter try not to worry, I had my waters break with DD and after 24 hours was induced, With DS I had laboured for 8 hours and was 9cm with bulging waters when the decusion was made to break them. Couldn't be more different!!
