Is it dangerous to leave birth for 1 week after waters have broken?
It is extremely dangerous to leave birth for longer than 24 hours after your water has broken.
- Once your water breaks, you are at an increased risk of infection, both for yourself and your baby.
- The longer your water is broken, the higher the risk of infection.
- If your water breaks and you do not go into labor within 24 hours, you will likely be induced or have a cesarean section to prevent infection.
- Leaving birth for a week after your water has broken can put your life and your baby's life at risk.
