I was 10cm before my water broke last time! Baby came straight out. Definitely sounds like you're midway through labour, and should be starting to think about getting to hospital (when contractions are 4 to 5 minutes apart they usually recommend driving in).

Your water doesn't have to break for contractions to start. This could be labor.
