when water breaks ..

How long do you have to get the baby out after your water brraks? I have a 45 min drive to the hospital when I go into labor. I'm just hoping I make it in time.

My water broke and then I had my son 29hrs later. My doctor won't let you go more than 32hr after you water breaks.

I want mine to break because I'm curious on how that is haha! But at same time I don't because I wouldn't want it at a store or something! I am going off of contractions when I go. I did with my son and will this time :)

Every person is different.  I know some women there water breaks and they have baby shortly after, and I no more women whose water broke and they didn't have there baby till 6-12 hours later. But most women's water doesn't even break with my first it didn't but it was leaking,  and I'm still pregnant with my second so couldn't tell ya ha
