    My waters broke roughly 12 hours after contractions started.
    By this stage ctx were about 3 mins apart.
    DS was born 6 1/2 hours later.

    DF was massaging my sacral area as I had a lot of back pain and I felt it pop - totally unreal sensation - I honestly thought I was about to get the runs, so when I sat up and water went everywhere I realised why.
