Help me kill time :) How long after your waters broke did CX start ?

[appletree]

With my first it was roughly 4 hours, and then a good 12-14 hours before they became regular and strong!

Hooray for going to a birth! Very exciting!

[BrightSparkles]

I was having contractions for hours before my waters brke so i'm no help LOL
Miss S was born 10mins after having my waters broken.
Hope it goes well. x

They didn't and after 14 hours I was induced with syntocin - however I was told to go home and go to bed (it was at night). I wish I'd gone fr a walk!!xx

with ds1, they never broke untill 2 secconds befor he came out, after a whole day of contractions.
ds2, they broke at 6-6:30am, started getting realy faint ones at 7pm, never realy kicked in untill the drip at the hospital arround midnight.
dd, they brok, a hour later the contractions started.
i guess it is diffrent each pregnancey..

i hope it starts up soon for you, all the best to you and your client!

2 hours and then it was straight into established labour within 20 minutes.

6 days!!!! they gave me something to stop the cx while i was transferred between hospitals and i honestly think if i hadnt of taken that she would have been here the same day.
hope u dont have to wait too long!

First time - 15 mins and then DD was born 2 hours later and second time - immediately and DS was born one hour later.

Mine didn't start at all with Ds ... Waters broke at 3am, they induced me 2 days later at 12:30pm. (33.5hrs later, they wern't supposed to let me wait that long apparently??)

20 minutes for my older sister! My younger sister was a tad daunted because she was driving my older sister to hospital when the first, very intense contraction hit. Apparently my older sister shouted so loud that younger sister almost swerved into the other lane

[Taurean]

Immediately they ramped up for me! I'd had niggles from 6am then my waters broke at 7.15ish am and BAM! it was on!!

Mine didn't start at all with Ds ... Waters broke at 3am, they induced me 2 days later at 12:30pm. (33.5hrs later, they wern't supposed to let me wait that long apparently??)

apparently after 12 hours infection can set in. because ds2 wasnt born untill arround 18hours after mine broke, i copped a huge ear bashing of one midwife and both ds2 and i had to have antibiotic drips and blood tests every few hours for a few days "just to be sure" due to the time frame.

Mild ctx after a few hours, but established labour after 17 hours, then another five until she was born. I lost ALL my waters too...it was like a bucket full of water and my stomach visibly shrank!

With DD mine broke at 10pm & then contractions started at 1am.
