waters, plugs and contractions...
... I just got a text from my best mate telling me her waters broke last night, she lost some mucus plug this morning but no contractions yet. She said the hospital have said as long as her pad stays dry, don't worry yet.
Is this order of things normal? How long do they leave her lo without the waters before inducing?

Also - I think that if they did go with a gush, then she should be checked out straight away - as there is a risk that the cord could get prolapsed? They should be able to tell straight away if it was her waters or not - and if it was then they will probably want to speed things up a bit (because of the risk of infection).
but in answer to your question, labour can start in any order, for me, my plug went on Wednesday and my waters went on Sunday, I was then induced on Monday.
