Yes ma’am, My water never broke

Answer

Yes. I contracted all day with my first and had my water broke when I was about 9cm.

Answer

Yes with my first my water never broke and I labored all day they ended up breaking it for me at 4-5 cm dilated

Answer

Water only breaks in 30% of women. Mine never broke the first time (dr broke it right before pushing).. dilated 9cm and it still never happened lol

Answer

Yes it’s actually uncommon for your water to break first

Answer

Labour usually starts long before water breaks. With my first I was in labour for 10 hours, before we went to the hospital(was dur ti br induced as she was late) I was 5 cm dialated, dr decided to just break my water manually to speed things along( I reccomend not doing that if labour is progressing XD made contractions so intense pretty fast) with my second I was a full 10 when the water broke and baby was out within minutes
