Well, I have actually a similar story to the other post. My water spontaneously broke at work today and I headed to l&d. Unfortunately they confirmed this and since it's still too early, I earned an ambulance ride to a speciality hospital with a nicu and high risk doctors. My cervix is still closed and I was having some mild contractions, but didn't feel any of them. Baby is looking good, but ultrasound confirmed he is breech and with less fluid, the chances of him flipping have decreased. I have to remain at this hospital until I deliver, which they are hoping for at least 34 weeks. Kind of scary with having no complications, risk factors, or complicated past medical history. Guess he just wants to meet us early. Good luck to all you ladies!! Hopefully everything will stay uneventful from here on out.
3/15/14 UPDATE Looks like baby is going to enter the world on 3/23/14. I was thinking we could make it longer but its a balancing act to safety and risk of infection. Baby boy is looking pretty stable and measuring well, so they feel he will be okay at 34weeks 1 day. They wanted to do it a day earlier, but that is when I am going to skype into my shower and I really didnt want to miss that since I can't be there and I have so little control over everything right now, it feels nice to have an option. I have two ultrasounds this week, but I am thinking it will be csection until he magically turns Hope to continue to get good news. And we got to tour the NICU today. Little overwhelming, but hanging in there.
For the record, just because you don't actually deliver your baby in May doesn't mean you have to transfer to the month you actually deliver in, unless of course, you want to. We have several other moms who will likely not deliver in May, however, they'll just hang with us because that's when they were suppose to deliver and theyve also established themselves here.
Goodness these babies are full of surprises! Glad to hear you are at a safe place with specialists. Thoughts and prayers for a few more weeks of being pregnant!

Thank you to everyone's concerns. @CamrynnsMommy I am hoping to stay here since I like you ladies. I probably will have more time to bump since I am stuck in the hospital. Hopefully I will know tomorrow after all the doctors round.
If you're due in May and have your baby a little early doesn't mean you need to leave. Your LO will likely be on the same developmental path as the May babies for at least a year.
Fingers and legs crossed you can keep that baby cooking.
