: Don't take this as the word of law, but I seem to remember from our classes that you have 18 hours to deliver once your water bag is broken. I would say once you break, go to the hospital immediately.

I had always heard that once your water has broken, you should deliver within 24hrs - somthing about the risk of infection but just as Steve said, don't take this as the cardinal rule - - I just remember this from the classes. If it were me, I would go immediately to the hospital.
