[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My water broke at 37 weeks the evening following my first internal check in late pregnancy.

The person wasn't rough with me but I felt sore after.  At the visit, there was no sign of dilation.

Was my 2nd and last pregnancy by choice.

I would delay.

Same here, but i was 38w with my first.  No signs of dilation or thinning of cervix, and I was really sore afterwards.  Water broke less than 18 hours later. I didn't go into labor on my own after my water broke, so I ended up being induced (pitocin only).  I do wonder sometimes if the cervical check led to membrane rupture.

I declined checks in my 2nd pregnancy until just before my scheduled induction.  I had a check the morning before to determine whether I needed cervical ripening overnight.  I didn't, so that check was worth it to avoid needing to show up for overnight induction.[/quote]

My water broke at 37 weeks with my first within an hour of my first cervical check. I never went into labor and went through a rough 24 hours of pitocin-induced contractions before I delivered.

I declined cervical checks with my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th until I was in active labor at the hospital. The checks don’t give helpful information anyway since you can sit around dilated and effaced for weeks or barely be dilated and go into labor that day. [/quote]
