UPDATE (She's here): Apparently one of the 10%- My Waters Have Broken

Thanks for all the love and support! My beautiful baby girl arrived Wednesday morning at 4:01 AM 33 hours after my water breaking and going into labor. She was 7lb 6oz, 20 3/4 inches long, and 100% healthy and perfect. Her Daddy was able to catch her and her Mommy cut her cord while she was on my chest for skin to skin. I was able to nurse her in the hospital and so far pumping is going well. My heart of course broke into a million pieces signing the paperwork and coming home without her, but I know 100% that my decision was the best one. Watching her Mommy and Daddy take care of her the last few days in the hospital reassured me that I was making the best decision to give her everything I can't right now. Good luck to all of you in your deliveries and parenting journeys.

I was at my best friend's house getting ready for lady's night at the melting pot, peed, stood up, and water gushed down my legs at 7:25 PM. I sat down, and more gushed. Put on a pad, stood up, and more gushed. Drove home as water kept leaking. I packed my hospital bag and am taking a shower because my hospital asks that you go into L&D after your waters break. I'm not sure if they admit you or check you and send you home. I contacted the Prospective Adoptive Parents who are going to pack and drive to me after I get checked at the hospital (they live 2 hours away). I've only had two contractions so far that were 20 mins apart, so this could be a very long ordeal. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated because it's very important to me that I go unmedicated and there is so much I'm going to have to go through in the next few days with labor and delivery, bonding with my baby, and placing her for adoption.@Bethugknee any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!
I plan to mobile bump because I have a feeling I'll be sitting in the hospital for a while.
Thanks ladies!!
ETA: I am due Jan 15. Not sure if my siggy is working.
