  Your baby needs to be born within 48 hrs of waters breaking u must call your labour ward to be checked out!! And as said above u will know if u have real contractions but this doesnt matter if ur waters have gone cos the baby needs to come anyway. Good luck.

  Hi with both my girls my hind waters broke early. With my eldest they broke at 38+3 so they sent me home to see if I laboured but did not and was induced 48 hours later in case of infection and had to have antibiotics whilst labouring as a precaution. With my youngest I was only 36+3 therefore they kept me in hospital and were going to induce me when I was 37 weeks but she had other ideas and came 36+5 and yet again had antibiotics whilst labouring. If you definately think it is your waters I would go back up the hospital due to your gestation. Thankfully both times my hospital was very good and gave me lots of support as it is frustrating having your waters broken and no labour as you cannot really have baths have sex etc, Good luck and take care xx
