WHAT CAME FIRST?

What came for you first?? Did your water break first or did your contractions start first?? If you have no children yet please don't answer.

    DS: Water broke first (statistically this only happens in 1 out of 10 deliveries)
    DD: Labor started and water broke after I hit 7 cm

    Contractions started, water broke about an hour later (about 3 hours before DS was born)

    With both of mine, my MW broke the bag right before crowning.  So both times I pushed and it stayed intact.  I've heard things feel more intense once your water breaks, so it makes me wonder if my births would have been a lot harder had my water broken earlier.  It will be interesting to see what happens next time.

    Contractions.  Doctor broke my water when I was dilated to around an 8, I believe.

    Small rupture and slow leak, then contractions, then pushing caused the complete break.

    Water broke first, and in the middle of the night..  I had only felt two contractions, not at regular intervals, the previous evening.

    With my son mild, contractions for about an hour then my water broke, then my contractions got waaaayyyy worse! With our daughter (2 weeks ago) contractions came, got really strong, I dialated to 7 cm, and the dr had to break my water.

    Water broke while at work (big gush, pretty embarrassing). I never started having contractions on my own, had to start pitocin after 12 hours of water breaking.

    wow! thanks everyone. I had a friend this weekend whose water broke at 2am and didn't have the baby until 18 hours later. poor girl! I cant wait to see what happens with me. it would be a neat experience to have my water break on its own though! as long as im not in the grocery store.. or at church haha!

    Yes, it's true most of the time contractions begin first.  They did for me the first two times, but the last time was a small rupture with a slow leak at 5am.  Then midwife broke water when I was ready to push around 3:30 :)

    I had contractions for two days straight before I went to the hospital! They were not getting closer together, so the nurses insisted it was "false" labor. By the time I finally went to the hospital I was 5 cm dilated and delivered a baby four hours later. My water never broke on it's own- doctor broke it after epidural.

    My water broke first. It was morning and I was laying in bed. I felt a pop and got up and ran to the toilet. It gushed out, lots of it! Contractions started about an hour later.

    Non-painful contractions started first (similar to BH but a little stronger). And then my water broke 2 hours later with stronger contractions immediately following.

    contractions came first, but they were 10 minutes apart for more than 12 hours. things seemed to speed up once my water broke and i made it to the hospital.

    With my DS #1, I had BH contractions very frequent the day before my water broke. The next day, I had none, but at the end of the evening my water broke......


    btw.... your title "What came first" Made me think it was going to follow with....the chicken or the egg? LOL

    Contractions first. Went into labor and water popped while pushing, one min before DS was born. This prevented me from tearing!
