Obstetrics: Water broke before due date, need help

Patient's question:

Pregnant 35 weeks, water broke.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, labor will begin within 24 hours after the water breaks. If labor does not start, the attending doctor may take measures such as administering induction medication. If you experience abdominal pain, it's usually not a concern, but if you have regular contractions that last a long time, or if you notice any bleeding, you should go to the hospital earlier. This is because labor typically occurs within 12-24 hours after bleeding begins.
