waters ??

[julia29scotland]

I was just wondering what the chances of my waters breaking before 39 weeks was?

I looked in all my books and saw nothing. Its just because baba is lying transverse and it is apparently really dangerous if they do break. I know my sisters waters didnt break with either of hers, but is that unusual?

The natural way of labour progression doesnt actually start with your waters breaking and this is only the first thing to happne in 15% of labours, you should dilate then as baby is ready to come out they should burst and baby is born.

Did you know on the continent they dont break your waters for you and consider it to be a sign of a potential problem if they break first. One of my best mates was a midwife when she lived in Austria.
