My doctor broke it at 4 cm. But they were trying to speed up labor because my son's heartbeat was dropping really low with every contraction. I ended up having a c-section at 9 cm.
My OB broke it 2cm I had been in labor for 20 hours after being induced and DD's oxygen levels kept dropping with every contraction. I ended up having a c-section, and good thing because the cord was tightly wrapped around her neck.

Mine broke on its own and I was 0 cm I believe. I had an uber-traditional labor though. The water breaking started everything. I hadn't even had a contraction before that, and it was spontaneous
I had been in labor for about 5 hours, got out of the shower to lay down in bed. Suddenly I had the urge to stand and as soon as I did it broke, and we were off to the hospital (but not before I dried my wet hair).
With my first it broke on its own. I got to the hospital at 4 cm (35 weeks). My second the doctor broke it when I was 6 cm I think. With my third it broke on its own. I got to the hospital an hour later and was only 1 cm (38 weeks).
I was only at about 1cm, and I was 16 1/2 hours into my induction (after 12 hours of cervadil and 4 1/2 hours after they started the pitocin). I had been asleep and it woke me up - biggest.gush.ever.
Mine started leaking and contractions were 2 min apart. Went over to OB (I was working, I work at the hospital so wasn't in a hurry) and I was at a 3. Had baby 3 hours later.
My water broke on its own and when I got to the hospital I was 1cm which I had been the previous week at my dr. appt. I had been having contractions for days but they would get timeable and then go away.
Re: just curious--water breaking
mine broke on its own. by the time i got to the hospital about an hour laer i was 7 cm.
My water was broken by my OB right after I was admitted (I was 4 cm)
And yikes, I thought contractions were hell before then...that was awful!

My OB broke mine 4 hours after I got my antibiotics for group B strep. I was at 5 cm at the time.
