I dilated 4cm before my water broke

My water hasn't broke but I'm about to give birth

so how will I no if I go into labor ?

My water broke and I only was dilated to a 1

Mine was dilated first, with both of my boy's. my water never broke my doctor had to brake it..

Oh okay. Thanks ladies! @babygirl10-11 @mrsmord

You can dilate even without having your water break . I was dilating and eventually the nurses had to break my water .

it could go either way
