is there a difference between getting induced & your water breaking? some people tell me they rather…

Inducing usually includes pitocin to start contractions, cervidil to help dilate your cervix and then once that gets going they will break your water ....

lol OK yeah that's where some girls have facts messed up lol

you can have your water break without going into labor...

so if your water breaks.... and no labor.... they will have to induce you because baby needs to be delivered with in 24 hours

so hopefully I explained it good enough ;-)

From what I understand from my being pregnant with my son, my water broke on its own at 3AM. Then they gave me Pitocin to induce me at 130.

They can break your water but that doesn't mean it will kick start labor which is what being induced is.

you did @mumof2 lol I feel stupid -_- I have no idea about anything lol I'm a ftm

And what @mumof2 said

I guess I'm a little late with my explanation lol you said it perfect @foreveryoung247 and@mumof2

yeah I figured it out and its OK usually first time moms don't know.... this happened to me pregnant with my first born and they had to induce me because my water broke but it didn't kick start my labor naturally and that's not safe for baby

lol @bengsmom10 thanks I tried to explain it simple as possible lol

You don't have to be induced if your water breaks, you can wait for your body to do it naturally, but if you are going the unnatural way then I guess you could go ahead with that process.

Women's bodies know what to do, and unless you are high risk you should listen to your body! 👍
