**update**Thoughts and prayers please ... Can't believe this is happening.

Yesterday (23rd) at 3am I felt a trickle of fluid when I woke up. Long story short it kept happening throughout the day, to the point where I'm at a wedding in a different state and I've soaked through a pad and my underwear is totally wet. I call the midwife and we drive all the way back to the hospital and they confirm that at 33 weeks, my water has broken. They gave me my first betamethasone shot at 12am and I've gotten two different abx. Now we wait for the second steroid shot and hopefully I don't start contracting before that. If so they will give me mag to slow them down. Either way we're stuck here until baby comes and he will be in the NICU for a while. The amount of feelings I'm feeling are OOC. I can't even begin to put into words everything that is going through my head.
For now I guess I will try to close my eyes. All your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
**update**
Thank you everyone so much. I showed DH this thread and he said how lucky I was to have such support and he is so right.
So I started contracting close together soon after I wrote this. They started mag (the devil's juice) and slowly but surely my contractions slowed! They have been slow to non existent ever since but we just turned the mag down because I was feeling like absolute shit and now I'm kind of getting them, so they may increase it. My next beta shot is at 12:45am so they'll continue the mag until then and then 24 hours after the shot. Then they will take me off the mag and allow me to go into labor naturally. If I don't they will most likely induce for fear of infection, sometime this week? Spoke with the neonatologist and discussed delivery and transfer to NICU and anticipated issues for 33 weeks. Scared, anxious, mad, but glad we have a plan.
I'm ok, keep hearing you all say " you got this". Just wish the Magnesium wasn't so godamn shitty.
