I think it also depends on if it seals itself or contiues to leak - if there is plenty of fliud and it isn't leaking they might just monitor her.

Everyone is different as well and alot of midwives/ob-gyns work differently as well so each person will have different experiences.

With Paris my waters broke 5am, contractions started 6am, fully dilated 9.15am born 11.07am, 38.5 weeks,
With Ayja, contractions started 1am, waters broken for me at 4.15am (7cm) fully dilated 4.25am, Born 4.35am, just under 38 weeks.

As long as there is no infection they will let you go to term or whenever you go naturally but apparently you often go earlier anyway like i did. in saying that I was already 3cm dilated when they discovered my waters had broken.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:29:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=65033&title=how-long-after-waters-break#65033 <![CDATA[How long after waters break : My waters broke at 11:30, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=65018&title=how-long-after-waters-break#65018 Author: lizzle

From what I know, the usually only induce within the 24 hours if you are at term. So like the others said, if she has 4 weeks to go, they'll probably leave it until 38 weeks before they induce (unless she goes into labour naturally.)]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 20:06:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=65008&title=how-long-after-waters-break#65008 <![CDATA[How long after waters break : My waters broke at 10:00 pm (38...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=65005&title=how-long-after-waters-break#65005 Author: Kim

They dont normally let you go for longer than 24 hours due to the high risk of infection.

They can keep you through to term so long as bubs is okay and there are no infections.

My waters broke at 7am, and contractions didn't start until around noon, then didn't become regular until around 2pm. I had to go into hospital because of the risk of infection to get some antibiotics, and Stevie is right - they don't normally leave it for more than 24 hours.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 14:28:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=64916&title=how-long-after-waters-break#64916 <![CDATA[How long after waters break : Not to sure on how long after...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=64909&title=how-long-after-waters-break#64909 Author: stevie_88

Not to sure on how long after does the baby come- but they shouldnt let it go for more than 24 hours as theres complications etc. The hospital should be keeping a close eye on her.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 14:23:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=64909&title=how-long-after-waters-break#64909 <![CDATA[How long after waters break : Hi ladies, No its not me but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3415&PID=64903&title=how-long-after-waters-break#64903 Author: kellverona
