How fast did everyone dilate after 3cm?

This is my second baby and I’ve started experiencing a few contractions every 6-7 min so my home birth team came out to have a look and I’m only a three so they gave me another sweep last night , so I’m just wanting to know what other peoples experiences were.
And how fast or slow did anyone else go into proper active labour .

I was at 3cm at about 2am on the Saturday morning, went home, waters broke around 5:30, went back in as they were pink tinged, contractions really ramped up at that point. I was only 4cm when they checked me but they weren't concerned as I was clearly progressing, baby was born at 11:37am.

Quite fast, my waters broke at 11pm, at midnight I was at 2cm, at 5am I was at 8, at 7 she was born.

Water broke

My water just broke 🫣clear fluid with light pink discharge. No contractions yet. I called the birth center, they have advised to either come now for an examination or in 4hours. They will admit if contractions do not start within 24 hours mostly induce.
Should I wait or go for the examination?
