[harleysgirl]

Hi All

While i sit here showered, kids in bed, house clean and doula bag packed waiting for my clients contractions to start after her waters breaking (PS yep know it could be hours/days but im excited after having not attended a birth in 6mths lol)

wanted to ask a question

How long after your waters broke did your contractions start?

I only had one waters break start labour out of 3 births and it was an hour to the min after my waters "popped" while in the bath lol

[~Hestia~]

I'm no help! My waters broke after I'd already had 15 hours of contractions

[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.

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.

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

i had 2 lots of gel inserted, one at 3.30pm and another lot at 10.30pm. rolled over in bed at 12.50am, heard the loud pop and felt the gush and by 1.00am was in established labour, so 10 mins for me

[Early Kids]

With DS1 my waters broke 6:30pm at exactly 28 weeks, he was born at 30+1 weeks at 3:15am, 344.75 hours after PPROM. It was about 3 days after my waters broke that I got my first contractions, however I had been on drugs to stop them coming to try and pro-long labour.

With DS2 I had already been contracting for 8 weeks before my waters had to be broken approximately 1 hour prior to birth at 34+3 weeks.

[Daydream Believer]

Nearly 12 hours before they were regular

Waters were broken for me with first two.

Waters broke naturally with no.3 and contractions started straight away at about 1-2 mins apart had him 1hr 9 mins after waters broke

Hoping for the same this time !
