What is the maximum time allowable for one to reach hospital the moment your water bag burst?

I think you will know best if you should be in hospital. My water bag broke about 5 hours after contractions and I delivered about 5 hours later. It was a terrible experience as I was confined to the hospital bed and not allowed to move around. So all I could think of was contractions. Some experienced mummies prefer to wait out their contractions at the comfort of their home and admit themselves only after contractions become more intense. I wouldn't suggest that as you may end up giving birth on the way there or the whole process just gets very rushed and chaotic if you lose your pain management. I would say you have a comfortable amount of time to take a shower, change and check for any last minute items you may have forgotten and leisurely make your way to the hospital. Meanwhile keep checking if you've any unusual discharge and also take note if there is a decrease in baby's movement.
