Water breaking or Contractions first ?

Hi girls x I just wanted to ask if your contractions started first or your water broke and then the contractions started. I know it can be different for everyone but just wanted to read some experiences x

Hello, I had contractions first for about 15hrs and my water broke just couple of hrs before I gave birth.. I was expecting it the other way round like in movies but it was nothing like it 🙈 x

My waters broke then contractions started about 8 hours later

My waters broke and then contractions started about 45 mins after. X

Contractions, I’m still not actually sure when my waters broke or if they broke and I hadn’t realised tbh

Waters broke and then induced 24 hours later 🥵

Contractions started first all 7 pregnancies

Waters broke and contractions started about 12 hours later. Baby was born 12 hours after contractions began :)

Contractions. Then my waters broke during active labour

My waters were in 2 parts, either side of baby’s head so one lot went 5 hours into contractions, then the second lot had to be popped by the midwife because my labour was slowing x

Contractions first with my son

contractions started, and went into labour, got to 6cm and my waters still didn’t break and the midwife had to break them for me 🥲

My front waters went then I had to go into hospital after 24 hours because contractions hadn’t started, they checked me to see how dilated I was in preparation for induction and I was 9cm dilated 😂. Turns out I’d had a silent labour. I got to 10cm dilated still with no contractions, then my back waters broke and I had a handful of contractions, 4 pushes and my lo was here.

Contractions first, water broke just before baby was born.

2 babies- First, my waters went then contractions started 5 minutes later. Second, contractions for 8 hrs then waters broke last second as her head came out. X

My waters broke at 6am and I didn’t get contractions until 8pm! It was very frustrating I just wanted to get going. Praying if we go again for another baby that it happens the other way round next time x

Contractions and my water never broke 😊 I lost mucus plug 12 hours into labor. But I promise you, you will know when the labor begins!

My contraction started first then waters

Contractions start first, water broke in the hospital

One of each. My first started with contractions. My second started with my waters going. Contractions first is far less painful!
