Hi there,

Yes you are in labour now, once the bag of water situated around the baby ruptures, labour is imminent and you should go to the hospital immediately.

The tummy ache is going to increase as the labour progresses and it is likely that you will deliver soon.

So please get to a hospital immediately, as sometimes after rupture of membranes the baby may require monitoring and labour progress rapidly.

It is common to not be in labour on the due date and 90% of women deliver within 10 days after the due date.

Do do not worry and get to a hospital .

Hope this helps.
Regards.
