I would like to know if you will feel contractions soon after the water will break
Or maybe anyone experienced the "water breaking" and didnt even realise it was it.
thanks!

Alot of people immediately go into HARD labor! Whatever the case may be with you if you think you amniotic sac ruptured, you must report to the nearesthaospital ......STAT!!! The reason for this is because depending on how much was surrounding the baby on the first place, this is what kept he.she suspended. Furthermore , the safety net of this fluid kept the perfect environment, no bacteria could get in, and the umbilical cord was free to float around......None of this is true anymore!!
They WILL NOT send you home, its a liability for you , the baby and the hospital staff. Because that would be risky!!!! Moreover, if you aren't sure a simple test with Ph paper will prove either way via an ER visit!!
Good Luck with your new addition

It depends. I think the majority of women start having contractions first, then their water breaks (or is broken by the Dr.) at some point after they are already in labor.
In my case my water broke first. I started having mild contractions within maybe 30 minutes, but it was a couple of hours before they got really intense. For some people they do start immediately.
It's possible to have some leaking of amniotic fluid and not realize it, but if it really breaks, you'll know it pretty quickly. It will either really gush all at once, or be a steady stream for a long time - either way there's really no mistaking it for anything else.

Only 1/10 will actually have the water break before the contractions start. I was the 1/10. I actually didn't feel contractions until about 2-3 hours after my water broke.
You will know when your water breaks...It's quite a bit of fluid coming out. There's no pain or anything, just the leakage of fluid.

Well I think veryone knows when their water breaks. It is pretty much a gush! You may have contractions before your water breaks, after, during. it really varies and I don't think there is any way to predict how it will effect you. AND it may effect you one way this time and another the next.
Personally I had two pregnancies both times I had been in labor quite a while and they broke my water. I remember my youngest sons birth very well. My contractions were not regular, I had been in labor about 3 hours, and they were contractions not pain. I was laying on my back when they broke my water. It was like deflating a water balloon! The water all rushed out and my round tummy collapsed! You could actually tell the out line of the baby when my stomach deflated! It was funny!

Just because your having contractions...no your water may not break. Most woment have to get there water broken by the Dr. when they reach the hospital. I think they say only 20% of women or even less experience there water break on there own. That is more in the movies. But if it does break it will sort of be almost like you are peeing a little bit.....or a big gush which then you should know. If it is a continuous trickle, go in to the Dr.

Most women in labor will be having mild contractions before their water breaks, though lots don't really feel them. Only a small percentage of women have no contractions before their water breaks. The water breaking increases the intensity.
Once the water breaks, however, there is no turning back. Baby is coming and there is no way to stop it.
The feeling of water breaking is also pretty unmistakable. I was asleep and the feeling of the water breaking woke me up. I knew immediatly what it was. A few women wonder if maybe they have just lost control of their bladder. THe easiest way to tell is to try to 'stop' the flow like you'd stop the flow of urine. Odds are, it won't stop and that's the water breaking.

I don't know for sure, but I always thought that the contractions started first. Even if they are so light you can't really feel them. Anyway.... The water breaking will make the contractions more intense. I have had two children. With my first, they induced my labor and broke my water. It was rough from the beginning. With my second child, I went into labor on my own. I was able to walk the halls for hours with little effort in order to help the progression of my labor. Once they broke my water, the contractions got intense, and I requested drugs. I hope this helped.

Water breaking usually gets the contractions going, so yes.

My water also broke for my first pregnancy at 37 weeks when I delivered my daughter. For my second child, I had complications, and started to have regular contractions at 38 weeks, so they broke my water to get things moving. I think it's unlikely to expect the same or similar situation to happen again. Although it would be nice to go a couple weeks early again!

mine broke...i had been sleeping all night, and when i woke up in the morning, i stood up to go pee and whooooosh!!!!! big watery mess! that was at about 9 am and didn't have baby until 11:30 pm after the dr. induced my labor! Contractions come when they are ready...don't rush it! I know this time (i am 27 wks now) i will take a lot more time at home...and eat before going to hospital!
