Just watch the contractions. That's all that matters. Sometimes your waters don't break until later. If your waters break watch for contractions to regulate and go from there. Either way let L&D or your doctor know when/if your waters break. But the important thing is to watch those contractions start to regulate and the 5-1-1 rule. Good luck hun.

My water didn't break. My contractions weren't painful though but to be honest I think my body had a lot of addrenaline bc I did an all natural birth with no medications. So to be completely honest I really didn't feel much until after birth and then I felt horrible. That's when they gave me pain meds lol.

With both my kids doctors broke my water and i never saw what's mucus plug too

Lots of women arrive at the hospital with their waters intact. Sometimes baby is even born with waters intact.
