Hey!
When I had my son, Zane, I had to be induced. My water had broke on my due date, but i didnt know it. For me, it was not this sudden gush like on the movies!!! I wasnt sure what it was, so i continued on with my day. It didnt interrupt anything so i figured everything was normal. Later, I did some research and it sounded kinda similar so i told my mom. We tried and tried to get ahold of my doctor but couldnt reach her. I wasnt in any pain so my mom just told me to go to bed and if i needed to go to the hospital later to wake her. I called my fiancee and he was incredibly excited, though everything felt normal. The next morning, i was still feeling no pain, so we FINALLY reached my doctor and told her everything. she told us to get to the hospital immediately. SO i called my fiancee, Rodney, and my mom drove us to the hospital. We sat in triage for a while and the test showed that i was 3 cm dialated and having contractions yet i still didnt feel them. They were almost uncertain if my water had even broke, so they sent in a swab for lab test. Sure enough, it had! However, as you probably know, once your water breaks, they like the baby out no later than 24 hours. My water broke at 4 pm the day before, and here we sat in triage just confirming this and it’s 10 am the next day. The only option to get the baby out was to be induced. I cant tell you if it hurts more…they told me i was going to be going at 2-3 times the normal progression of labor. Still, it took a while for things to get bad. I handle pain very very well, so i can not say what it will feel like for you. I got induced at noon, and decided to have an epideral around 6:15 because things were starting to get very uncomfortable. Zane, my son, however was not descending at all at this time. Immediately after i had my epidural, his heart rate sky rocketed and sank very low very fast. This was caused for concern and I had to have an emergency c-section. Zane was born at 6:44 pm on friday september 22, 2006. Basically i was prepped for surgery with the epidural. Later, they found that the cord was wrapped around his neck and i would not have had enough room to have him normally which was odd considering he was only 7 lbs 9 oz. Not quite sure why though, even the doctors dont know! But anyways… being induced isnt that bad. All it really does is just push you along a little faster. Good luck, you’ll do fine. No worries!! your bf and your mom will be there and besides, you should be excited!! you’ll get to see your baby soon!!!

First, if you do not want to be pregnant…then why would you stop taking the pill or using some form of contraceptive? I think you should go in to the doctor’s and see for sure. You never know, you could be pregnant or something could be wrong with your body trying to adjust to the extra hormones then loss of them.
