Common Questions and Answers about No contractions before water breaks

contractions

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 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 My water broke without contractions. I was advisedto head in when I called the Dr. We took our time and husband took a shower. I got there about 2 hrs later and contractions were finally just starting. They did give me pitocin right away also to get it moving since I was barely dialated.
Avatar f tn I heard the if your water breaks that you wont have contractions is that true ?
Avatar f tn Actually with a lot of midwifes and hospital who support midwives you can wait 24 hrs before going in after your water breaks. So its normal. I know if my water breaks I'll be waiting before leaving. You have 24 hrs before infection can become a serious issue.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn t have to go in the sound your water breaks as long as you go in before 24 hours
Avatar n tn I had contractions before my water broke, then when my water broke it was a pop, and a constant flow of water, A LOT of fluid. Then it felt like a whole bunch of pressure went away, contractions stopped and a few hours later returned.
Avatar f tn They should give you antibiotics during labor. Most women have contractions before their water breaks. Contractions are similar to cramps you would get during your period or, if you've never had those, a stomach flu.. When your water breaks it is a quite obvious rush of fluid, but you coukd experience a leak instead. A leak can be noticed because the fluid will be thinner than most vaginal fluid and have a distinct scent and color.
6710217 tn?1386110892 So do you get contractions before your water breaks(or gets broken) or after your water breaks?
Avatar f tn Yes you can take a shower idk if I would be taking soap and washing my vag I don't want soap getting up there. But I plan to shower and wash the rest of me and warm water wash my stuff. Then do my hair and make up. I have babies bag packed I just need a few things for mine that will be last minute. As long as when your water breaks you contractions aren't right on top of each other you have time. Oh and I'll eat too.
Avatar f tn When your water breaks call your Dr and they will go over everything with you, if you aren't having contractions yet they will probably say to stay home for a little however if you are or if anything is off about your water (if its not clear or has an odor) they will probably tell you to come down right away
Avatar f tn s actually really rare that your water will break first before contractions. Mine broke at 38 weeks with my first. I had back labor all day before it broke otherwise I had no idea I was in labor. I just thought my back hurt really bad! Hahaha!
Avatar f tn Every person is different. I know some women there water breaks and they have baby shortly after, and I no more women whose water broke and they didn't have there baby till 6-12 hours later.
8227972 tn?1414913484 You would normally feel contractions shortly after your water breaks.... But maybe you should get it checked out.
Avatar f tn how would you know when your water breaks?
Avatar f tn If your water fully breaks the best way to explain it is that it feels like a water balloon breaking in your vag. I was always told 24 hours for risk of infection.
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 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 Waiting for dr to call me back. Anyone who had water break first? How long before your contractions started?
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.
