After your water broke...how long?

Philsbride2be · October 2013

My midwife broke mine and I had him under two hours later! They didn't do anything else, but I had been contracting for days and was already 4cm dilated. Did anyone else hv this kind of experience? I'm a STM, that could be why, right?

I think some women's bodies just naturally react like that. Mine did not, but my mother was like that. Congrats!

My baby came out in the bag of waters!

My water broke and I didn't have my LO until 23 hours later. My body didn't start contracting on it's own, so they started me on Pitocin. Got to 10 cm, and she never went passed station 0. And I had to have a c-section because I was developing a fever. I never wanted a c-section sooo badly after all that.

Mine broke on its own and ds was born about 3.5 hours later.

Mine broke on its own and LO was born 40 minutes later.

Mine broke on its own while I was being induced. I was ready to push 12 hours later but ended up with an emergency c/s so she was born 14 hours later.

Mine broke on its own, but I wasn't having any contractions so I had one dose of cytotec (which caused absolutely horrible cramping). I received an epidural 9 hours after my water broke. I completely dialated on my own with the epidural within 5 hours, but LO was still not in position, so I received pitocin and less than 1 hour later, he was born. So, from the time my water broke to the time LO arrived it was a total of 15 hours.

With DD1, it broke naturally and was my first sign of labor. She was born 14 hours later.

With this one, it was still in tact at 8cm. So the OB broke it and she was born in like 30 minutes max.

Pickle123 · October 2013

Dr broke mine right before I was ready to push...born 30 min later.

trackgirlparis · October 2013

Mine broke by itself and LO was here a little less than 5 hrs later

Mine broke at home. After arriving at the hospital, I was 9.5cm and DS was born within 20 minutes.

Less than 90 minutes from the time my water broke to delivering

Mine broke on its own. No start of labor. Pitocin 12.5 hrs after breaking. Baby born 3.5 hrs after pitocin started. Body kicked in high gear with the tiny bit of pitocin.

lefnc82 · October 2013

Mine broke while I was already in labor and at the hospital. I was probably at about 7cm by then and he came out about 5hrs or so later.

BlessUrHeart29 · October 2013

Mine broke at the hospital, some time after my epidural was in place. It was probably 9ish hours from when my water broke to when DS was born.

*I think* about 6 hours. My Dr. broke me water around 9:00 AM *I think*....my labor was horrendous, so the time frame has been expunged from my memory....baby was born @ 3:15 PM.

CarolinaGirl411 · October 2013

My water broke at 4:15pm, started pushing at 12 am and he arrived at 2:35am.

After my water broke, it took 30 hrs for LO to arrive. I almost had to get a c-sec because we weren't making much progress.

Jlee1685 · October 2013

Water broke at 12:30ish and started to push at 4:30pm and baby arrived at 4:51pm.

kdjudd · October 2013

My water broke about 5 seconds before I started to push. I'm not even kidding.

MrsTucker2011 · October 2013

My water broke at home. Went in to hospital and was a 1. Labored for 12 hours and got to just a 3. Epidural, and then pitocin because my body wasn't progressing. LO came after 27 hours total.

jen-and-ryon · October 2013

Mine broke on its own but I didn't progress at all for 7 hours so I was given pitocin. LO was born 19 hours after my water broke.

My water broke on its own with no previous contractions or cramping with both my sons.

DS1 was born 17 hours after my water broke. About 7 of those hours I was on pitocin.

DS2 was born 6 hours after my water broke. No pitocin needed.

They broke my water and he was born 45 minutes later.

shellb1978 · October 2013

Mine broke on it's own, but I never went into labor, they had to start me on pitocin. After 26 hours, and only dilating to 9 1/2, and her not coming down, I had to have a c-section, b/c of the risk of infection from my water being broke for over 24 hours.

mrsbrooksie · October 2013

My water broke on it's own at 12:20am and I didnt have LO until 5:51pm. I was induced at 7:15am the previous day. It room massive amounts of pitocin to get my little man out!

Ulinemm · October 2013

Mine broke as they took the cervidil out and he was born about 2 1/2 hours later. Although after my water broke I went from an 8 to a 10 in 30 minutes.

Kessho · October 2013

After 31 hours of labor and at 7cm they broke it and I started pushing an hour later

CherryHolly · October 2013

Mine broke naturally around 5am, but I never started contracting on my own and was on pitocin to the highest levels for hours. I ended up with a csection 25 hours later since I never progressed beyond a 3 and baby never moved down.
