Common Questions and Answers about Do you have to have contractions before your water breaks

contractions

Avatar f tn 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....
Avatar f tn Before they will admit you into the hospital? And how many cm do u have to be before you are offered an epidural?
Avatar f tn You have to be inactive labor in order for them to keep you or a medical reason like high blood pressure
Avatar f tn Yeah You Have To Have Cervical Change At Least Every Hour Or The Won't Keep You...
Avatar f tn I would say not to worry too much if you aren't in any pain. If you do notice that your tummy is getting tight consistently you may want to call your doctor and ask if you should go in. I personally felt every bit of contractions I had with both my kids but I know some ladies have a high pain tolerance.
Avatar n tn and if your water breaks but your not having contractions yet it would probably be safe to drive but most of the time you will start having contractions before your water breaks. BUT you know your body better than anyone so when the time comes do what you think is best and if you have any doubts get someone else to take you.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn When your water breaks and you go to the hospital does it mean that you have to spend the rest of the time there?
Avatar f tn You can have contractions before your water even breaks when I went into labor with my son I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes they broke my water at the hospital
Avatar f tn They keep you..because once your water breaks baby must be delivered within so many hours because of risk of infection.
Avatar f tn When your water breaks is that when you go into labor or when you have contractions?
Avatar f tn I would go to the hospital to make sure if your leeking they have to do something about it cuz you would be at risk for infection so I'd go if I were u just to be sure. When my water broke I was laying on the couch and it was like I was peeing myself but I wasn't cuz I couldn't control it but it was non stop and it was a lot!
Avatar f tn So when your water breaks is it like a whole lot at one time? Or does it slowly like "leak" in a way?
Avatar f tn Do you know? Do you have contractions? The past 2 hours I have been on the toilet what it feels like "peeing" so much pee I could have filled up a river. As soon as I.lay down I have to get up again and still go. Its not stopping. Should I be worried or is this normal. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow.
Avatar f tn You might want to go get checked now. Don't wait.
Avatar f tn When do you go to l&d ? Im a ftm and have no idea. When your contractions are how far apart? And how many?
Avatar f tn When your water breaks you have ONLY 24hrs before an infection sets in. You DO NOT wait for contractions bc a lot of times you wont feel them at the start! After 24hrs odds are you have infected yourself and your baby and they will need breathing treatment and some shots.
383536 tn?1225030613 s water breaks before getting to the hospital. Well then how do you know its time? i know the contractions and what not. But how do you know what a contraction is if its your first? And if i had a miscarriage before 12wks would that effect when this baby will come? I am so confused. I know i have awhile to get yet cuz i am only 22wks 5 days...but you know i need answers. Oh and when do you start getting Braxton hicks? what do they feel like?
Avatar f tn Thank you!
Avatar f tn How long after your water breaks will it take for your baby to arrive, this was the best way i could put it lol?
Avatar f tn Once your water breaks they will admit you to the hospital because they want you to have the baby within 24 hours of it breaking. I was barely having contractions and they admitted me.
Avatar n tn I've never heard of people doing that exactly for the reason as Joanna is saying! Your makeup will be down your face by the end and your hair I'm sure will be I'm a ponytail or a bun.
Avatar f tn If your water breaks you should take your time to take a shower and get everything ready before you go. But only 10-15% of women's waters break. If contractions get to 3-5 minutes apart for more than an hour you can go in. I planned to labor at home. When my contractions started they were right from the start 2-3 minutes apart lasting 30-45 seconds. I waited 4 hours of that until I decided to go in. I was a 5 then 2 hours later my baby boy way born. All natural.
Avatar n tn How do you know if your water broke? & if it does do you start having contractions?
