For moms whos water broke at home, were you having contractions before it broke or not until after?

Mine broke around 10pm and contractions started around 5 am.

My contractions started within about an hour of my water breaking. We stayed at home for 12 hours just waiting and timing them and working through it before we felt it was time to get to the birthing center... our beautiful 9lb boy was born after 21 hours of labor and over 3 hours of pushing, all med-free. Hoping baby #2 has a slightly faster entry into the world but it really wasn't too bad.

Mine broke at around 5am with my second. Hopped in the shower and started getting contractions (around an hr later) Was 5cm by the time I went to the hosp at 8am..Gave birth at 11:25am. Went nice and quick. With baby weighing in at 8lbs12oz :)

My water broke at 2.30am when I got up for a midnight toilet run. I went to hospital around an hour later (due to strep b positive) the monitors picked  up that I was having contractions but I couldn't feel them. I still wasn't having contractions after about 5-6 hrs so was put on a drip to get it moving. Ended up with csection at 11pm that night due to no progression.

I didnt have contractions until after my water broke. Mine broke around 5pm and contractions started around midnight, my daughter was born at 5:40am

I was having contractions for a week before my water broke but as soon as that happened I took about an hour to go to hospital from that time they were full on contractions. It's different for everyone :)

I didn't start having contractions until about 8 hours after my water broke. Even then, it was because they finally pushed it along with pitocin. I was in labor a total of 16 hours.

Yea i was asleep wen mine did.it just started drippin a lil.no contractions.

Whoops! They gave me pitocin before they listened about him possibly having another bag. Once that kicked in, it was horrible!!! Still nada though until they broke his second bag. That made them hurt worse but after, he was out in two hours. Total time after my water broke was 36 hours in hospital before he arrived.

I had my membrane scraped earlier in the day but I had been having contractions for a long time before they scraped it. They weren't bad though. Then I had sex and about 3 hours later, fell asleep and sploosh! Water broke all over my Chihuahua. :/ even after it broke, they weren't real bad because my son had two bags like I did when I ess born.

Same here I woke at 4 thought I waited to long to pee and went myself. But I was only 34wks that's y I had no labor. I was not induced until a week later. Was kept in hospital on meds.

I didnt have any contractions until after my water broke and it was an hr after it broke that they started.  I was sound asleep when my water broke scared me I thought I peed the bed :)

[blessesmommy]

Neither. It broke and I still had to be induced. Basically water broke no labor.
