How do you say: "if your water bag has broken"

I am doing a medical translation. A woman is at the hospital about to give birth. The nurse inquires: Has your water bag broken. Is this the correct way to say this:
Se la rompio la bolsa de agua?
Thank you very much.

Maybe in america you say water bag, here we just say waters.. Besides, it's actually fairly obvious, they run down your legs. I know! - annierats, Dec 29, 2011

"¿Ya rompió fuente?" is the standard term used.

I think there must be a standard term, this is probably it. Has Heidita got children? - annierats, Dec 29, 2011

Ambos términos son conocidos, también "romper aguas". Mi maestra de partería es Chilena, y con ella manejábamos "romper fuente". - Gekkosan, Dec 29, 2011

In England we normally say: Have the waters broken?
¿Se han escapado los aguas? ( this is just a suggestion, I think Gekkossan knows best)
I've never had a baby except in England, so I don't know...
