Good luck! My contractions didn't start until about 8 or 9 hours after my waters went, hopefully you won't have to wait that long Grin

On my second baby my contractions started immediately but on my third they didn't start until about 13 hours later. Best of luck. Exciting times for you.

Yeah I'm the same! Specially now my waters have gone lol! I'm going to try a nice bath with some Clary oil radox so fingers crossed lol! They say 90% women go into labour on there own within 24 hours of there waters breaking so we got just over an hour for that to be true for me haha x

I didn't think you was allowed out once waters went as an infection risk? I wonder if it's just our hospital soon as waters go if Labour doesn't start within 24 hours they induce x
