Hi Jo, after reading your e-mail it makes me realise something about my first birth. It was suggested by my Ob at 9cm to have waters broken, I was nearly there and if left longer the waters will come out with pressure and mess every where. He did say it might speed things up a bit. Ignorantly I agreed but fortunately my baby was coming out, his help or not. This would be another of those informed consent things I suppose. Interestingly my waters did not break until just before head crowned with my next two babies, strange how my private midwife was NOT AT ALL fussed with this????????? Then again it was my house I was making the mess in! Megan.
