    Re: What happened first? Waters broke or contractions?

    With DD, my hind waters broke, and then I was induced due to labour not starting at all, over 30 hours later. 20 hours of induced labour and my forewaters were broken by AROM. 3 hours of pushing finally produced the baby!

    With DS1, I had a long labour at home (no idea how long it was). I went to hospital and was told I was 9cm dilated and my waters were broken by AROM again, and baby was born 20 mins later.

    With DS2, I had a 10 hour labour, waters were broken by AROM again, and baby was born about an hour later.
