Waters

I gave birth 4 hours after my water broke

With my first, waters went at 9am contractions started at 10pm. Baby born at 8.20pm the next day via c section.

My second, waters went at 5pm, contractions started at 5pm the night before. Baby was born at 11.21pm (day waters went) via c section.

Both sections semi elective because I had been labouring a long time and was tired and fed up without being allowed gas and air. Xx

With my first I had delivered her within 3 hours and with my second I was ready to push straight away x

About 6 hours later with my 2nd - but they weren't painful until about 10/11 hours later x

My contractions started first with both my previous births. First was probably born a couple hours after water broke and second was within a couple minutes only

8 mins but had been in labour for 11 hours prior to them breaking x

For me contractions started about 5 hours after my waters broke

I was induced so might be different to other experiences but my waters broke at 7.30am and I was already having mild cramp like pains before this and I say they amped up around half 9. But I also had a really quick labour and he was born at 13:26
