What happens first???

Ok, I'm a first time mom to be... I don't know what happens first. Do you start having bad contractions then your water breaks? Or does your water break and contractions? I don't know about all this labor stuff. :/

Ur body will have a natural way of preparing u physically for labor. The only thing really 2 prepare is the room, ur bag &  everything else will fall into place.

It can vary. Every labor is different. And Im on my 2nd & finding every pregnancy is different as well. My water never broke. I had severe contractions and they broke my water at the hospital.
