water breaking

[palominokari]

This is my third baby and I was wondering how do you know if your water has broke and you are in labor I was induced with my first two babies so have never been through this I am at 38weeks and dialated to 4cm any thing yall can tell me would be appreciated

Try walking. Go to the grocery store and just walk the whole place down the isles. It sounds silly but it will speed things up

I dont understand at all, where do you come from may i ask

[palominokari]

Hopefully I will no something at my Dr's appointment tomorrow as far as induction goes my Dr will not induce unless me or the baby are having complications that are life threatening

This is my third too,  n my water broke with both my other ones which made me happy cause i didnt get strong contractions at home so with my water breaking i knew it was time lol but mine never gushed out all at once but u can definitely tell when it's ur water breaking!!

Well according to a site on google if you are 4 cms that is considered established labour, i would demand to see another dr, when i go into labour the contactions are so strong every 1 min apart and i am only 2cms dilated and tgey keep me in when i get to 4 i am considered in active labour,

[palominokari]

I don't understand it either that's why I am not leaving my Dr till I am satisfied with why she says I am not in labor I am hurting so bad I am ready for my little girl to be here that's why I asked about it on here I jab gotten more help with my pregnancy on here than from my Dr I will not ever recommend this Dr to anyone

My Cousin is also 4cm, and still was sent home by her doctor.. She will be induced on Wednesday.. Her due date is Thursday

I dont see how it can be false labour when you are 4 m, i dont understand

[palominokari]

My contractions are in my back and abdomen the keep getting longer and stronger but are not comming in a regular pattern as for not being in the hospital I have already made 2 trips thinking it is time get there only to have the Dr send me home an hour later telling me it is false labor cause the contractions are not showing up on the monitor when they hook me up to it to monitor me it has me really aggravated this last time I went to the hospital they sent me home and told me to take benadryl to help me get some sleep cause it is false labor still

[Emilou30]

If you are 4cm you are almost half way there, why are you not in hospital, what are your contractions like x

[palominokari]

No I am at home no regular pattern to my contractions so the Dr says I am not in labor yet but everything I have read says I should be in labor and at the hospital that's why I am asking my Dr Hasn't been the greatest so glad this is my last baby

[Emilou30]

And you would feel a big gush x

If your 4cms firstly are you in hospital? Also they could go anytime from now until you are ready to push, my daughters head came out with my waters, good luck and keep us posted :)
