My first birth happened after my water broke and over 12 hours passed with no contractions. I went to the hospital and was given Pitocin to induce contractions. My second birth happened similarly. My water broke (slow trickle), I waited a few hours before deciding that nothing was going to happen. So I went to the hospital and once again was given Pitocin to start contractions. I am now pregnant with my 3rd and was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar situation, but was able to get contractions started on your own. Or how long did you wait before seeking medical intervention? I want to hear your stories :)
