how long after your waters break can your midwife leave you before inducing you

Im 34 weeks today and my waters broke Wednesday night, how long can you be left before being induced as I know there is a risk of the baby getting an infection with my waters breaking

I would be more comfortable being were they can monitor baby. That's a very dangerous situation.  I wish you the best

My aunties waters broke 12 days before she gave birth, I don't think they tried to induce her though. She did let them know as soon as it happened but they sent her home
