With my first my water had slowly been leaking and we didn't know until I went into active labor at 4 am, he was born at 6 am, 6 1/2 weeks early. With my second my water broke around 3 (I think) and she was born at 4:30.
Congratulations and I wish you a fast easy delivery : )

With my 1st, my water broke at noon and I had him at 6pm that evening. With number two, my water never broke, my baby dropped so fast that my bag of water was pushed behind my baby and it came out intact after my baby was born.

With my son, my water broke at 5am and he was born at 5:58pm.
With my daughter, they broke my water and she was born 7 hours later but I'd been in pretty active labor until they did that.
Take a deep breath, contact your doctor's office, let them know.
They will need to check you for sure.
This is SO exciting.
Please be sure to let us know when the baby arrives!!!

WOW, How exciting that we all can share this with you!! My water broke with my first at 10:10pm and he was born at 12:55pm. So,just over 2 hours. With my 2nd, my water broke at home at 4:50am, and we headed to the hospital and she was born at 5:25am, less than 45 minutes. Barely made it there..I hope youre already holding your precious baby and taking tons of pictures. (o:

If you havn't already, call your doc. Mine wanted me to come in after it broke so they could monitor me. I had my daughter about 20 hours after it initially broke, but I wasn't in active labor when it did. If you're experiencing contractions as well, it could be much sooner.
Congrats mama, keep us updated :)

It was between 5 and 6 hours. My water broke on it's own after about a 1/2 hr of contractions. I went into the hospital soon after since I was GBS+, but I never even got the antibiotics because my labor progressed too fast. I sat in triage for about 3 hours before they finally admitted me, and by that time I was ready to push! Good luck, hope you don't have to wait too long!

Mine did not get a chance to break, planned c-section, too big of a health risk for me to give birth vaginally.

Just make sure your Dr. or midwife know. I think they like you delivered with in 24 hours to avoid infection. I had planed a home birth and my water broke. labor never started! I really wanted to avoid pitocin and the hospital, but after 36 hours I was done. finally went to the hospital and was induced. I now wish I hadn't waited so long. My baby was born totally exhausted (because I had tried for so many hours to get my labor going "naturally") and with extremely low blood sugar, and miconium (sp?). It took her a while to get her blood sugar stabilized to where I could take her home. we had to stay an extra day. My daughter was born a 2 hours after the pitocin. good luck!! it is so exciting!

My water never broke on it's own. The doctors broke it when it was bulging during heavy labor....which sped things up. So, two hours?

I think the rule is that you have to have the baby within 24 hrs of the water breaking.

I had mine forcefully taken (cesarean) less than 24 hours later - I exceeded my allotment time after waters breaking per hospital policy.
IF you aren't having contractions... walk walk walk and give yourself nipple stimulation by rubbing, pinching kneading and pumping your nipples (ask for a hospital pump).
I an wishing you lots of luck and many well wishes and congratulations!!
