How soon after my water breaks do I need to go to the hospital?

Question

Answer

I had the baby 52 mins after my water broke! I would go asap lol

Answer

I had to go asap and they did a non stress test and checked for meconium in the amniotic fluid. They then sent me home to wait for labour. I ended up labouring for more than 24 hours so they just put me on an antibiotic drip in my IV after.

Answer

I was told within 30 minutes.

Answer

Unless you have gbs or contractions 5minutes apart you don't have to go unless your doctor asks you too. Baby will be fine 10 hours in the womb with out water sometimes longer.

Answer

Depends. The hospital where I'm having my baby tell you to go in to get checked. If you are in active labor, they admit you. If not, they send you home and schedule you for induction the next morning.

If you tested positive to group B strep, they'd want you to go ASAP.

Answer

I have heard that it's best that the baby is delivered within 24 hours after your water breaking. If you test positive for GBS I believe you are supposed to go in as soon as possible. Since I'm delivering at a birthing center they would still like me to come in when the contractions are close together (3 mins apart) and if I don't start contracting within 48 hours they will have me go to the hospital to be induced..I personally think I will choose to go to the hospital before 24 hours if my water breaks though just to be safe.

Answer

When my water broke my doctor told me to take my time but to get to the hospital within an hour or so. I was also told at the hospital once your water is broken that you should deliver within 24 hours to prevent infections.
