My sisters water broke at about 1.?

Question

What time do you think she will give birth. At about 4 she was 2 inches dilated and contractions were 2 minuets away. She lives in Florida and I live 1500 miles away from her. My mothers plane took off about an 10 minuets ago. The plane ride is usually about 3 hours long. Do you think she will make it in time for the birth?

Answer 1

Most likely she will have lots of time to get there.

Answer 2

Nobody can determine when the baby will be born. Generally once the water breaks doctors like the baby to be born within 24 hours. If she doesn't progress they will have to help her by giving Pitocin. My water broke and I had my daughter 13 hours later.  

Answer 3

No one can really answer that for you. With my first baby I went into the hospital at 5:30am and I was dilated to 4, then at 2pm... I was still dilated 4. I went home and after 2 days my water broke and I got to the hospital around 6am and my sonwas born at 2:08pm. There is really no way to know. Another story is that my sister went into the hospital at 11pm and had her second baby at about 3am. It could be hours or days. Good Luck and hope she makes it in time.  

Answer 4

she could make it if it is her first it usually takes a while and if she gets an epidural for the pain that will slow it down also Good Luck to your sister and congrats on being an aunt

Answer 5

every ones labor is different, my cousins water broke and she had her baby in 3 hours. Mines did and I was there for 12 hours!

Answer 6

Well, my labor with my first was 29 hours.  The first time baby's labor is usually the longest.  So, she stands the best chance of making it for the first one.

If she doesn't make the birth, she will be there very soon afterwards.  My mother did the same thing, but couldn't leave until the next day.  Since I labored until the next day, she arrived the day that the baby was born about 12 hours after he was born.  She couldn't have been happier if she had been there for the birth.

With me, it was actually best because I had complications which would have been difficult for her.  

Answer 7

based on what I just read she has awhile to go, she is only 2 cm. according to the link belong regarding labor she is in active labor and has about 3-4 hours to go
