A member asked:

Hey i went to my doctor appt and he said i was 3 centimeters dialated. what are my chances that my water mi th t break and i go into labor tonight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on: Is it first one or fifth one ! . If you are prime ( first one ) you have time to think or multi you must have been delivered already. A pregnant woman ready to delver must be in touch with her own doctor but no one else. Good Luck

If I had no problem dilating in my first birth (labor had to be augmentated due to water breaking and being strep b positive) is there a good chance I'll dilate without issues again? Or is it unpredictable because every birth is different?
