Hi there,i'am 40 weeks 4 days pregnant,my waters broke at 6am yesterday morning,no contractions for hours then small irregular pains.Went to hospital they did a heart trace of the baby,temp and urine sample,but they did not check that my waters had gone,they sent me home and said to keep my appointment for the midwife which is 3 days away,i was wondering if this ok as i thought you had 48hrs to go into labour yourself and then they hospital would induce?Thank you for you help.Regards Paula.xxx
