My water breaking was the first sign of labour. No show, no contractions.
I had been on one of my usual middle of the night toilet trips at about 1 or 2am. I woke again at 3am, feeling a little trickle. I got up and trickled all the way to the toilet, where I gushed. I rang the hospital, who told me to have a shower, and take my time to make my way in. We reached the hospital at 4am. I only had weak and very irregular contractions after my water broke. At about 8.30am, my OB came in and gave me the option to either wait 24hrs to see what happens, or to be induced. I chose to be induced and to get it over with. Drip went in at about 10.30-11am Charlotte was born at 3.55pm, posterior with the help of vacuum extraction as she was in disress.
Positive birth experience though.
Will definately do it again!!!!
