@tmross, most hospitals will let you go 24-36 hours with your water broken 48 hours is when the possibility of infection rises

Yes do what @reaganmommy2015 that's what the nurse told me to do when I had a slow leak

Put on a pad and if it is full within an hour more then likely it's your water

It could be your water that broke. My doctor said you have about 4 hours before infection can set in. So wait & see if you start getting contractions...
