Waiting for labor to start ... how did your labor start ?

Question

Answer

I went into labor at 5am on a Saturday, my water broke at 10:45pm on Sunday, and baby was born an hour later.

Answer

My water broke first before contractions began. I was over 40 weeks at that point. I woke up around 4 am with back pain which was typical for me in the third trimester. I had my husband rub my lower back and finally fell back asleep around 5. At 7 I woke up and sat up in bed and the water gushed out in to the bed. It probably had broken while I was asleep but didn’t realize. I went in and my doctor told me I was having contractions but I couldn’t feel them. I stayed in the hospital all day and I started feeling true contractions around 3 pm that day. By 6 pm they were painful and I ended up laboring all night with back labor and delivered my son at 7:46 am the next day.
