PROM - Contractions 👀

Hey guys, My waters broke last night at 3am and I’ve been having tightening and cramps since. Can anyone if possible explain as much a possible the feeling of a true contraction? I have an induction booked tomorrow if I don’t go into active labour tonight but I would like to avoid that if possible. 🤞 Wish me luck! Can’t wait to meet our baby girl ❤️

some people never get full contractions its always just cramps or tightenings! but if you do get them big you will know, there’ll be no mistaking them, theyll last a while, have a bath and keep moving x

My contractions didn’t kick in till I was 5cm dilated I was same just having cramps. When the full force came the only way to explain it was the need to push. My stomach was cramping tbh like when u have an unsettled belly and ur body takes over and u cnt hold back what’s happening inside like ur insides feel they need to push. It all goes tight right and then stops and continues over and over. Good luck not long xx

Thank you lovely 🥰

I have a friend who had her baby last week. Her water broke and didn’t really go into active labor so her midwife suggested acupuncture. It worked for her and might be worth a shot if you don’t want to be induced

Thank you 🙏
