Second baby my waters broke around 6am on her due date, midwife confirmed waters broke and booked me in to be induced the next morning.
Next morning went in, given pessary to start process, it wasn’t until 7am 48 hrs after water broke they took me into labour ward and hooked me up. Baby arrived just after midday. Does this help?

Almost immediately! Waters broke and then contractions started. Good luck OP.

Ds2 - less than 10 mins

12hrs.

Have you been to triage to get checked out? Usually units like to know if your waters have gone and labour hasn't started as in some circumstances you may need IV antibiotics.

Good luck! Hope little one is on their way soon!

DC1 - less than an hour
DC2 - I didn’t! Lazy boy ended up with c sec because he wasn’t budging after my waters broke. We went for the max amount of time poss

Immediately.

My waters broke at about 10am, contractions started about 10pm. My midwife said if nothing had happened within 24 hours it would require intervention.

They didn't! Had to be induced.

65% of women go into labour by 24hrs. After that you will be offered IOL.
good luck

Half an hour

I think it was within a couple of hours. Baby was out 4 hours after they broke! I very nearly didn't make it to the hospital in time. Once they started things progressed very quickly! This is my first.

It’s common for waters to break a while after contractions have started. I was in established labour for many hours and then waters broke less than an hour before I delivered baby both times

Sorry I’ve just read your post again and realised mine won’t be helpful to your situation. Apologies
