Waters broken

My waters broke at 430 this morning and I'm currently in hospital just waiting for stuff to happen?
But it's my first baby and I don't know what to expect and I don't want to feel like I'm pestering when nothing can be done
Can you give any advice what I can do so I don't need to be induced I've been on the exercise ball today a couple of time

For me staying as active as possible helps hugely... so walk walk walk walk around the hospital; around the room your in etc.

Here you get sent home if your not in active labour once your waters have gone and you are brought back in after 24 hours.

If you don’t actively go into labour within 24hrs then they will induce you.

But being as active as possible helps hugely!
