Common Questions and Answers about Can you get contractions before your water breaks
contractions
Typically your labor starts before your water breaks.. Less then 10% of women's water breaks on it's own before labor. I'm on child number 3 and never has my water broke b4 labor began.
if your water breaks gosh. You can't control it you would definitely know if your water broke. I'm sure you're just frequently urinating. I've never heard of the one being able to stop her water. But I'm also not very familiar in that area so I could be completely wrong.
So when your water breaks is it like a whole lot at one time? Or does it slowly like "leak" in a way?
ve also known women to go a full 24 hours before they start having contractions after their water breaks. Every woman is different so no one can really give you a time....
And ... I just realized this was from August...
No it's not always like it is in the movies. You can leak slowly, you don't necessarily have it all come rushing out at once.
You don't have to go in straight away. But they do want you to give birth within 24 hours of your water breaking so you don't get an infection. If your water breaks there's no reason you can't wait a couple hours to get everything ready and leave. And when you're there tell them you first want to see if you progress yourself before they try starting pitocin if you don't speak up is when they just do stuff. But you can refuse any medical treatment you want.
I wouldn't wait more than a few hours if your water breaks... With my 1st son my water broke before feeling any contractions. I didn't go to the hospital until 3 hours later. With my 2nd the contractions started at 2am, went to the hospital around 6am. I was only dilated to 3 or 4 so they didn't admit me. I went back like 6 hours later when the pain was too much, was dilated to 7 so I was admitted. My water broke a couple hours later.
How do you know if your water broke? & if it does do you start having contractions?
Once your water breaks it is always imperative to go to the hospital because there is less fluid protecting the baby, a risk of infection and a need to deliver within 24 to 48hours. If your water breaks before you have contractions, your doctor will most oikely induce unless you can speed labor on your own through walking and other natural techniques..they also try to do less examinations to avoid infections. I hope that helps!
My doctor thinks I'm gonna go into labor on my own this week.
I've heard if your water breaks you have 24 hours till you can get an infection but i mean I guess it depends on the contractions also.
