^Bearsy's got it.

Cerpin...after the water breaks...it could take hours before the baby is born....i'm talking 24 hrs...maybe longer. Just because the amniotic sack has ruptured, doesn't mean labor is immediately emanate (i think that's the word i want). That's movie talk right there..."OMG my water broke...OMG here comes the baby!" Um, nope.

I'd say it's not your lack of understanding a woman's psychology, just your lack of understanding much about labor and birth.

Also, FYI, alot of times, it's just a trickle, especially at the begining, not a gushing tidal wave of fluid.
