Yeah you have to go in once your water breaks

I agree with @jessicagarmal the risk of infection is high once your water breaks because now your baby is exposed

you could also risk infection if your not progressing.. id go ahead to the hospital personally... not rush but plan on going..

I got told by my ob that the risk is that the cord can come out before the baby which can be fatal

Baby could come very soon after your water breaks last thing you want is the baby to be delivered in the car on the way to the hospital. I'd get to the hospital very soon after your water breaks

@junesmommy15 what do u mean.

You can just progress faster once your water breaks but you can spend a few hrs at home and labor that way, I wish I had

You can get a few things that you need but I wouldn't stay home

I don't think so, I think you can wait till contractions get close together
