How Long Can One Wait At 2cm Dilation?

I have a friend who is 37 weeks pregnant. On Friday she went to the dr. She was 2 cm dialated and baby was in proper position. She thought her water broke friday evening. She had no contractions or pain. She did notstart having anything happen. I told her she neeeded to let her dr. Know. She blew me off. She has a hx of drug abuse but claims to be clean. After 48 hours and no labor I was emphatic that she at least call. She claims to have called the hospital and says they couldn t give any information over the phone. She now says this morning she called but her dr. Wont call her back. This means her water may have broke 68 hours ago. Does that seem normal? I mean that an obgyn would not be concerned about a rupture of membrane without further progression after 68 hours- without having seen the patient?
