Questions!
How long should contractions be together before going in?
Can your water break before contractions start?
Lol I was induced with both my girls so I feel like a new mama wondering what to expect 😅.

“What is the 5 1 1 rule for contractions?
An easy rule to use is the 5-1-1 rule: if you are having contractions every five minutes, each contraction lasts about one minute, and these minute-long contractions last for one hour, call the doctor or go to the hospital.”
My water broke before contractions... it took 6 or so hours before my contractions started.
My L&D recommended the 5-1-1 rule before going in. 5 contractions lasting 1 min or more within 1 hour.
Contractions should be 4 minutes apart before going in. Lasting 1 minute each for the period of 1-2 hours.
Yes your water can break prior , but I think it only happens to like, 20% of women
I just googled it an I stand corrected, water breaks before contractions in only 15% of women
@kokopapell, oh wow that’s not a lot at all lol.
I’ve also only had mine broken for me so I’m just 🤷♀️ lol!
Contraction questions
I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
I know I've posted this before but when your water was leaking did it stay leaking or just with movements or what? Did you get contractions shortly after or no? I rolled out of bed and felt warmth leak out but Idk if it was possibly urine or what...never had it happen. It didn't smell like anything really...I know I should either call l&d or go in but I just want some experiences please. I want to wait a bit just in case it's nothing.
Okay so I woke up this morning I was having contractions way more uncomfortable then the ones I had before then I went to the bathroom wiped there was some pinkish discharge. Then as I stood up there was a glob of light red mucus in the toilet. And these contractions are sooooooo painful more then ever before. I'm going to try and time my contractions but they hurt so bad it's feels like a constant strong period cramps in my pelvic area. 😓
How common is it for your water to break before contractions? If it doesn't break before when does it? I'm just curious for when I get closer to my due date.
TMI
every time I have a contraction I feel like I have to poop or pee. Sometimes both 😩 is this Normal ??
Thanks ladies! I appreciate it 😊
