Waters broken - 33 + 4 weeks

[Laurahickman33]

I’m 33+4 weeks pregnant and my waters broke today at 2am. I am feeling lots of pressure down below and lots of niggly pains - some contractions too but not really that frequent.

How long did you go into labour after your waters broke? I do have Polyhydramnios so there is a lot of fluid!!! It’s my second baby x

I’m hoping you’ve contacted your maternity unit by now? If not you need to tell to them ASAP! If you’re not already in labour they will strongly suggest being induced due to risk of infection. Good luck with everything xxx

Ring maternity and they will advise!

Call your maternity unit! I would assume you’d be induced 24 hours later like I was. Good luck 😊

Call your maternity unit straight away. With my first my waters broke at 2am, I went in to be examined. They told me to go home and wait until I was in active labour (contractions 3 minutes apart) that’s when I could go back in. If I wasn’t in active labour within 24 hours then I’d have to go back anyway to be induced. Baby can only be inside for so long when waters have broke. Mine started quite quickly though, 12 hours later she was born.With my 2nd my waters broke and she was born 4 hours later so a lot faster.
