S+TM water breaking question

in 3rd Trimester
I'm a STM mom myself. My first baby came at 41w5d with my water breaking but no contractions. I was started on Pitocin after waiting about 4-5 hours for contractions to start. I went in to the hospital this morning at 38w2d after having what I thought was my water break. I was told that it was my forewater that broke and my doctor didn't want to induce me because baby is still high and I'm not dilated. Has anyone else had their forewater break prior to labor? If so how long until you really went into labor after it happened? Thanks in advance. It's been an emotional day and I'm really hoping to meet my little girl soon.

    Never heard of "forewater" but I wonder if that's what my sis experienced with her #2 daughter; she had her water break (quite a bit of water too) and went in, and they said there was still an intact bag of water too?  Either way she did go into l

    I've never heard of forewater - it was never mentioned in the birthing class, by the nurses or midwives, and I don't remember reading about it.

    My water broke while I was asleep and just came out in small gushes, mostly with contractions. I didn'

    I have never heard of forewater but when I was in labor with my first my water broke seconds after getting my epidural and then like 2 hours later all the sudden a gush of warm liquid came out of me and I literally thought it was massive amounts of blood

    My forewater broke with dd, but my doctor decided to induced, I was almost 6 cm fully effaced, and she was at 0 station.   

     This time, I think it broke, but it was never confirmed.  I leaked a few times the day before my

    Lurking here. My water broke before labor with both kids. With DS, I ended up having 2 bags of water - broke with a gush and continued to leak but never tested positive for amniotic fluid and labor didn't start right away. About 3 hours later, it broke ag

    My forewater broke with my second (not everyone has a forewater, for the PP who had never heard of it). I was 39w 6d and GBS+ with a history of quick labor, so I went right to the hospital. I had some contractions, but nothing that would have sent me to t

    Forewaters are the part of the amniotic sac between the baby's head and your cervix.  Though as far as I'm aware forefathers breaking are the same as your water breaking, though the baby's head can "cork" it.

    With both of my kids, my water broke (1st time the OB broke it, 2nd time it broke while in labor) and then when they did the next internal they noticed a forebag, broke that and labor progressed VERY quickly.  So mine was sort of the opposite as y
