Kickstarting labor after water broke

Stay upright - walking, squats, gravity is your friend! Baby’s head will be pushing on your cervix and cause you to dilate. Good luck! 🥳

You don’t have to go back. The risk of infection increases only a slight amount and the more intervention you have the higher the risk of infection.

This happened for me with my two babies. 1. I got pitocin 12 hours after my waters broke and it was dreadful. I wasn’t incontrol of my birth experience after that and my daughter was born with forceps

2. My waters broke slightly at home I went in 8 hours later with mild contractions. Went home again until I had contracts approx 2 mins apart 6 hours later. I walked, rocked on my ball, took a bath, did stretches with my hips etc (you can find these online) and when i went back to hospital I birthed my son naturally 5 hours later.

Keep moving and listen to your body

Squats pelvic floor stretches yoga ball. Try a couple of steady walks

Go on YouTube and do the miles circuit! It put baby in right position to bring labour on (if your ready). Dont be coerced into doing anything you don’t want to do xxxx
