#15. My water broke at 26 weeks and they kept me in the hospital for three weeks before they couldn't stop contractions any longer and had to take the babies. So I know one's water can break and still wait three weeks before birth. They took my temperature twice a day at least and I was closely monitored, blood draws every other day, etc.

* Your contractions. It's true that first-time moms often take longer to deliver. But if regular contractions aren't happening within 24 hours of your water breaking, your ob-gyn may want to evaluate you and baby and possibly induce labor with pitocin. * How long it's been since the bag broke.

The induction was scheduled for 4 days later. As it happened, none of that mattered, since contractions started a few hours later and my son was born 12 hours after that. My water was broken for over 24 hours before labor even STARTED with my last one. 29 1/2 hours from water breaking to first contraction. I know if I'd gone to the hospital I would have ended up on pitocin and antibiotics at the very least, most likely a C-section soon after.

Labor could still be a day or two away, says Allison Hill, MD, co-author of The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth. In an overwhelming majority of cases -- some 80 percent -- labor begins with contractions, then water breaking.

My water broke at 27 weeks, but no contractions. I was admitted, put on magnesium sulfate and antibiotics, and given the steroid injections. After the 48 hours of steroids, they stopped the mag sulfate. 12 hours after that, I started to get a temp, so they induced me.

If you think your water broke, you need to remember a few keys things even if it turns out that your water did not break. This can be remembered with the mnemonic COAT. Telling your practitioner the COLOR, ODOR, AMOUNT, and TIME can help your practitioner determine the best course of action for you.

Obstetric Lie #99- You Must Deliver Within 24 Hours of Water Breaking. Ahh, this one is close to my heart. Let me tell you a little story. First time mama wakes up one night (the night of her due date in fact) with mild contractions. They are about an hour apart and 30 seconds long and wake her up but she can sleep between them.

You may imagine being in the middle of a presentation or in the middle of a grocery store aisle when it happens. The truth of the matter is that only about 13% of the time will your water break prior to the onset of labor. In fact, more than 75% of the time your water won't break until you're well into labor and more than 9 centimeters dilated.
