I thought they had to deliver by 18 hours after broken water or risk infections? That's what they told me to get me into c section anyway. I wasn't as early though. I hope all goes well and he can stay in there comfy and grow. Much luck and prayer.
I was an L&D nurse back in the '80s and if a woman's water broke, that baby had to be delivered one way or another within 24 hours. But that was a long time ago, and maybe modern medicine has changed that.
Had mine do the same - 30 wks even. They put me on bed rest and did temp checks every 2 hrs. Plan was to let me go as long as I could with no fever if labor didn’t start on its own. They were hoping I would get to 36 wks. (This was in the 90s so who knows now)
That was what I was told at my c section last june at women and infants high risk. They were inducing me three weeks early for pre eclampsia and I never got past 3 cm.
