    After my waters broke with DD1 I was told to go to bed and have a sleep and call back in the morning - I was given 12 hours before they were concerned about contractions starting. they started about 7 or so hours later.

    The same thing happend to me. I didn't get contractions at all, I was induced with the drip at the 24 hr mark.

    Ok that's great. Id been starting to worry that absolutely nothing was happening. I had no warning leading up to my waters breaking and nothing since. so thanks for the reassurance its all good at this stage. I wasn't sure why hospital only have me 4hrs either, as I'm sure they said they let you go 12-14hrs once waters break.

    how exciting! With my DS #2, my hind waters broke first, which everyone assumed was the forewaters (there was quite a lot of fluid).

    Good luck...I am so jealous right now...hanging out for mine to come SOON!!! You will be great, trust yourself and your amazing body....it knows what to do
