You can have contractions before your water even breaks when I went into labor with my son I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes they broke my water at the hospital
When I had my daughter my water broke and I didn't have any contractions at all. When I went to the hospital I ended up having to be induced because I wasn't having contractions or dilating.
It changes with every person. You should definitely contact your doctor if you think your water has broken.
For me, my water broke then maybe 10 minutes later contractions started. And I was throwing up with every contraction until I got the epidural. Reallllly hoping I don't go through that with this baby lol
My water broke and I had my baby 26 hours later. Refused any intervention and no iv, or vaginal checks. All natural
