Water’s artificially broken

It depends, They had to do membrane sweep twice for me, nothing happened so they broke my water which started the labor. However after 14 hrs of labor they had to do emergency c-section due to sepsis. If you are in the UK and with NHS then you are in good hands (at least my experience was good and the team of doctors would come and keep me informed about the progress from time to time) Good Luck!! Sending you positive vibes and love.

I was induced at 39 weeks due to recurrent reduced movements, I had 2 sweeps which helped open my cervix. I then went down to the 'induction ward' where my waters were broken for me, I shortly went into a delivery room and had the hormone drip given( waters broke at 6:30pm and I delivered my baby at 3:17pm the next day) If a midwife breaks your waters you usually get the hormone drip to bring on labour. I really wanted a natural birth but my labour was really straight forward and you are still able to have all pain medications they offer! Good luck with labour and enjoy your tiny baby x

I was induced on the Monday and had my waters broken on the Wednesday. It felt sort of like having a smear. Uncomfortable for a moment, then over with. I gave birth to my daughter 24 hours later with the help of an epidural, unfortunately her head got stuck and we had to have an assisted delivery and an episiotomy, but the team was great so the experience overall was great.

I had my waters broke after contractions started to help move things along. I went from 6cm to 10 in 45 minutes 🤣

I had my waters broken, I didn’t find it painful or anything, they then gave me 2 hours to move around go walking/ bounce on ball to bring on Labour naturally before they used the hormone drip x

I had my water broken but refused to be induced

this is really what I’d prefer! So did you go into labour naturally after they broke your waters? Xx

Yes went into labour naturally about 10–11 hrs later.
To reduce the risk of infection minimize the vaginal checks. I allowed them to do it once after breaking my water. Still at 7/8 pm I wasn’t fully dilated. Doctor on call wasn’t to happy and was demanding I be induced.
Some point After midnight I had a contractions had the urge to push.

I had my waters broken sunday at 10:30am at 3cm and baby was born at 12:35 so just over 2 hours. So it worked for me ☺️
