Help me kill time :) How long after your waters broke did CX start ?

apparently after 12 hours infection can set in. because ds2 wasnt born untill arround 18hours after mine broke, i copped a huge ear bashing of one midwife and both ds2 and i had to have antibiotic drips and blood tests every few hours for a few days "just to be sure" due to the time frame.

At the time, They told me 24hrs but that was 15 years ago. Proberbly is 12 hrs by now. I did know it was for the risk of infection though. This was just one of the many things the hospital / OB (at the time) stuffed me around on. I had to stay in hospital the whole time though & didn't get any infections... Luckily!

At the Angliss they told me 48 hours in the normal delivery area, and when I was in the birth center they told me 96 hours. And in both cases when/if you reached that time they would induce

my hospital was happyfor me to keep going untl 37 weeks (water broke at 35) with monitoring and a blood test every second day and a course of ab's, i went on my own and didnt need to be induced though
