HERE is a thread about it on Mothering.com. They are crunchy and I generally like what they post/write.

Hypothetically, if there were no contractions, the woman won't dilate. Dilation is caused by contractions. I don't know though about the question of a woman's body not contracting at all.

Jessica - Have you felt contractions? Have you been in any pain? I was 4 cm dilated when I went into the hospital to birth my son. Wow, that's awesome that you are already that far along (almost half way) and seem to be living out daily life just fine.

Jess, I'd check once a day, maybe twice. But I don't think you'll be checking for long. And I kind of can't believe you didn't have them break your water. I so would have...but then I know that once my water breaks, I'm holding baby pretty soon, and I already have BH that are strong enough to do something if my water was broke, I'm sure.

Either one, I think. We know what you mean anyway. Good...then it shouldn't be long!

Yes, with DD#3 I went 11 days after my water started leaking until they finally induced me due to a fetal assessment showing low amniotic fluid. That was just a leak though not a full out burst.
My body has never started contracting on its own so I have wondered the same thing Jess!

When my cousin's water broke (at her regular OB visit) he sent her straight to L&D and had her induced.
Why was that?

I just had to quote this as I just saw it. I love Mothering! I was on their site for almost my entire pregnancy and then once I had my son. I stopped using it for a while but just recently joined again (though haven't been on any posting sprees recently lol). I admit it, I'm a big huge "granola" kind of mom :D

You don't have to wait 12 hours to start drinking fluids...you should be doing that your entire labor. As long as you don't allow anything near your vagina you don't have to really worry about infection.
I know you should drink it all along. But you are to start drinking lots and lots more by hour 12. I am not sure why though... but it is recommended to drink excessive amounts from that hour on.

Does anyone know why a woman feels contractions so much earlier with the 2nd pregnancy? I haven't been pregnant in 10 years yet at 15 weeks I was feeling movement and now at 17 1/2 weeks I feel it quite a bit.

I guess just because her water broke and she wasnt having any contractions. He told her "you are having the baby today" and that since her waters broke they "had to get him out" because it was "bad for him" He didnt even let her go home and get clothes or her husband or anything, just sent her right to L&D (which she hated because her clothes got wet when her water broke).
It's not bad for the baby for the water to break. And I'd bet you that if she'd been allowed to go home, walk a bit, get her bag, etc. that her contractions would have started up on their own. *Some* medical personnel are just fear mongers...

My BP is up some again...137/80. Not over the "worry" mark, but still... And I had an awful headache last night, not so much this morning while I was at the doctor's, and now it's back. My doctor wasn't too worried at this point, but I'm going to be resting. Ha...like I want to do anything else with a pounding head...
I also asked him all of my hysterectomy questions, which I'll update in that thread. I love my doctor.

that I wondered if it was a contraction. 
My dd was totally fine (born at 38 weeks).
How is that suppose to be worded?
I am glad you wondered too Tammy! lol, I'm not so odd
