you usually have about an hour at least, probably longer, but you shouldn't wait too long. you want to able to get to the hospital, get prepped and get the shot for pain before you get too far. once your so far along, they won't give you the shot. count the minutes between your contractions. unless your waiting for a ride or something I wouldn't wait at all. it's better to get there, so you can be ready.

∙ 12y agoWhen your amniotic sac (the thing your baby is inside of) ruptures, the fluid inside releases and you go into labor. The term "my water broke" means this is happening and you should head to the hospital immediately because contractions are about to start and (relatively) soon thereafter your baby will be born. If you don't get to the hospital soon enough you may not be able to receive an epidural which will make things a lot less painful for you.
