How soon should you go to the hospital after your water breaks?

I am a 28 year old female. I want to know how soon should you go to the hospital after your water breaks?

You should seek care as soon as possible after your water breaks. Once this happens, if you remain undelivered for more than 18-24 hours, unfortunately, your risk of infection in the uterus starts to increase. It is best to seek care early to get the ball rolling for your child's safe and healthy delivery :)
