do you start feeling contractions when your water breaks
Most start having contractions first. If your water does break first, however, prepare to have the contractions begins very soon afterward. You should begin having contractions to some degree before your water breaks. Once your water breaks, that leaves you and your baby open to infection. Either way, with or without contractions, as soon as your water breaks, call your doctor and head over to the hospital, because you WILL be having that baby!!
