Re: and another thread on delivery
kwateen, your water doesnt have to break in order to progress thru labor. It usually does at some point during labor, its like squeezing a water balloon - eventually its gonna pop kwim? Some docs like to break the water in the hope that it will speed things along but for me, it had the opposite effect - my contractions stopped.
Dont worry too much Ira. Its never more pain than you can bear. Thats the way God made us :)
