For DD1 I was in the bath, my waters were bulging out in front of her head and the MW broke them. they had menconium so I pushed her out as fast as I could, she was born not long after that.

For DD2 I was exhausted and ready for an Epi at 5cms and the MW suggested ARM to see if that would move things along. The waters were also stained with menconium and she was born within 5 minutes.

Hopefully #3 will be able to break naturally or be born in the sac. I wish I had told them to leave the waters with DD1
