Hallow Dear,

You should rush to the hospital.

After breaking water, usually woman starts labour pains. However, if she does not go in labour naturally, there is a risk of infection which may prove to be dangerous for the baby. So please do not waste time. In the hospital, they will wait for due time if they find it safe and will induce the labour at the appropriate time. Let the Obstetrician take the decision and no one else. Mostly you will be given oxytocin injection slowly in the parenteral drip to induce the labour. If all the water has been drained out and it has become dry labour, you might have to undergo caesarean section.

I hope you got the message and will take the prompt action.
