*see pic* Should I expect water breaking within the next 12 hours?

Question

38 weeks and these contractions have been non stop since 7 am

Answer

Your water may not break on its own. They had to break it for me with my second baby

Answer

It's actually uncommon for your water to break. About 15% of women experience this. The other 85% experience their water breaking during labor, delivery or even preterm.

Answer

These are Braxton Hicks, also there is no connection between BH/contractions and water breaking.

Answer

I have had four births and my waters have never broken on their own.

Answer

I would let ur doctor know if they continue with that pattern and get closer together. I wouldn’t sit around waiting on ur water to break if they get stronger cause it may not happen

Answer

I wouldn’t expect it but just keep an eye out. My water didn’t break on its own and I got to the hospital at 8cm.

Answer

With my first two the drs ended up breaking my water, my third it broke spontaneously and no labor (induction), and my fourth after induction I was at 5 and got my epidural and then my water broke but I never felt it.  All my pregnancies and deliveries were different.  Good luck!! Congratulations!! 💛🥰
