To answer the question, yes,  one would have to be pregnant for 'water 
to break'. 

According to her statement she was at "an energy seminar with Texas Gov. 
Rick Perry and executives from four other states" in the Dallas region 
when her water broke.  She then gave a ~30 minute speech and after that 
flew  ~3000 miles to Anchorage.  It's unclear to me how she got on a 
commercial flight as it used to be they all had a pretty dim view of 
possible deliveries in flight.  Actually, they usually forbid boarding 
in such a case.  Many years ago I, six months' pregnant,  flew to my 
parents' area when my mother died and there was much discussion about a 
doctor's permission, warnings, whatnot, before I could get on that 
plane, and it all had to be repeated a week later when I came back 
home.  Anyway, after she got to Anchorage, she apparently went from 
there to the Mat-Su hospital by car, a trip taking about an hour....
