What kind of danger is your baby in if you don't go into labor and your water breaks?
Once the protective bag around the baby is broken, as happens when your waters break, there is a danger that infection can travel up to the baby. This is particularly the case if you have any sort of vaginal infection. This is why many doctors will induce labor if it does not start within several hours of the waters breaking. The actual time it is safe to wait is a subject of debate.
Once the waters have broken there is nothing to protect the baby and anything at all even doing nothing can cause labour to start, even if you are pre term. My waters were lost at 26 weeks so many days and my baby was born at 27 weeks

Has the baby dropped if your dilated to 2 cm?
well it all depends on how far dilated you are...and if you dilate quickly...every person is different...walking helps send you into labor...but if your water breaks try to walk as little as possible if the embilical cord falls out before the baby comes it can cause internal bleeding and harm the baby Answer If it is your first baby it is quite normal for the head to engage by 36 weeks and has no bearing on how soon you will go into labor. Walking does NOT help you go into labor, once you are in labor it may help speed things along but that is all. If the head is engaged the umbilical cord is not going to fall out but if the waters break you should go to the hospital as after 24 hours there is a danger of infection.

You are 3 cm dilated will you have your baby soon?
You are already in the first stages of labor. It could become hard labor in a matter of minutes or days. Keep a close eye on things and get to the clinic or hospital (or call your doctor or midwife if you are having a home birth) as soon as thigns begin to change.
