I would go to the hospital. I didn't have contractions before or after my water broke and had to get induced.

Go. Same thing happened to me and they ended up inducing me as it was less risky then letting it break the rest of the way on its own. You can both get pretty nasty infections if you leave it. Does it smell kind of weird? Mine did that's how I knew it wasn't just normal leaky discharge.

I have only seen the midwife 3times and last time was in september and she charges me to see her.. the closet place to ring is the hospital an hour away and im new to this area so i dont know the number for nurses also i have to make appointments to see my doctor which is 30 mins in the opposite direction of the hospital.. so not too sure what is the better option
