Whenever you're water breaks, or you can just feel the baby coming. Call a doctor if this doesn't give you enough information about you're baby. I'm not an expert! Sorry.

When your water breaks, when your contractions are steady 4-5 minutes apart lasting around 45 seconds to 1 minute each for about 30 minutes to an hour and gaining in intensity. When you cannot get through a task that would take about 45 minutes because of the pain is a good indicator.

. Your water may or may not break until you are fully dialated that's something you see in the movies. If your water breaks then yes, call your doctor. Don't call your doctor every day, you will see them once a week. Your body will know when it's time to go, but to not get sent back home you should be experiencing contractions that are very intense, that are about 4-5 minutes apart that are lasting 45 seconds to a minute apart for at least 30 minutes consistently. You are going to go into a triage area when you get to the hospital where they are going to put you on monitors to make sure that you are having that pattern I said above, and if you are not, they will send you home. So to avoid that runaround. Be patient, the baby will come.
