Waters going before contractions? help.
in Baby
Hey girls.
My waters went at 9am (im 39+5 with my second) and they said i have 24 hours before been induced.. my worse nightmare i really wanted a active water birth
Anyhow has this happened to anyone else? Did your contractions start before the 24 hours where up?
Im crying and shaking like a leaf! I never expected to be early even if it is only 2 days lol and my contractions started before my waters went with dd so im just in shock really!

Try to keep as active as possible today and see if you can encourage your contractions on, I'm sure in most cases they tend to start sooner rather than later once your waters have broken, especially if it's your second!
Try to relax and enjoy the excitement that you're going to meet your new baby in no time at all!! I hope your contractions start up nice and soon and you have the water birth you want - good luck!! xxx
Don't get yourself all het up hun, you'll be fine! Chances are they'll start before you have to be induced.
Go for a good long walk and then scrub the kitchen floor lol - that might get them going (advice from my own mw at the time lol!)
Good luck - either way, it won't be long now!

Gosh im scared :roll:
Thanks again xx
and good luck for the birth x x
Good luck and I hope you get your planned water birth. xx
my waters started leaking early, and I was induced 2 days later. Like you, i was really worried about being induced, as I had heard that it makes things more painful. However, I found it to be ok. it was my first baby, and I bounced gently on a birth ball for most of it while OH applied pressure to lower back, and rubbed it. I concentrated on keeping my body as relaxed as possible, and taking long slow breaths, and things were fine, i used a bit of gas and air, but it didnt help me. As long as your baby arrives safely, that is all that matters. good luck with your long walk/ball bouncing etc. cant wait to hear how things go
Good luck, and hopefully things will get going for you, but if not try to think positively and of the thought that at least you know you're going to see your LO soon!! xxxx

I then had a baby at 6.44am!
You'll be fine!
I then had my first contaction at 1.15 am (thankfully I was quite rested). Baby was born 12 hours later.
Good luck!

So they didnt start for nearly 5 hours but I was holding my baby within 12 hours.
Best of luck
