roller coaster ride - update

This roller coaster ride has officially begun for me.
The first 28 weeks were really mellow like a kiddy ride at an amusement park.
And now that big scary ride starts.
Friday morning at 28w2d and 130am my water broke! It was really weird at first, I woke up from sleeping and thought I peed myself as it wasn't a ton of liquid. It happened a couple more times over the next hour and a half so at 3 I finally woke up K. We investigated, talked to her sister she is a midwife and decided since I wasn't in pain and there wasn't any blood that I would wait to call my Dr at 9am when the office opened.
I took my sweet time, showered, went into work for a few hours. Of course figuring it wasn't a big deal. Called the Dr at 9 and was told to come in right away. Oopsie!
Well, the verdict is that baby Amelia and I are here for the long haul. They have put me on antibiotics and given me steroids shots.
I was told that 25% of women usually go into labor within the first 48 hours. Then 75% of women usually go into labor within one week. If we can make it past the 1 week part then chances are we could last weeks in here. Heres hoping Amelia wants to cook for quite a few more weeks!!

Take care of yourself and Amelia. Keep her cooking as long as you safely can. This is a scary thing to be going through but you are at the safest place you can be. I attached two websites on PPROM I found informative.

Ultrasound at 6w4d shows a single, fluttering heartbeat. Say hello to Sticky Ricki!
We are still here, Amelia is still cooking. I started bleeding last night and I immediately went into panic mode. The Dr on staff last night came in to do a quick ultrasound to find the position of the baby. She is still transverse, butt down, so she hasn't moved since Fridays ultrasound.
I have no idea what this bleeding means, I googled some last night but was having a hard time reading the bad stuff. I have found out that this condition or whatever you want to call it is called PROM.
We are anxiously waiting to see my ob this morning and see where we go from here. The nurse last night said it is common to bleed, but I just need more definitive answers. Where is this bleed coming from? Why bleed now and not 3 days ago? Where do we go from here?
The sitting and waiting is really hard.
@ball.and.chain do you know if your cousins wife would bleed while on bed rest?
Thank you all for your caring words, I am really trying to stay positive in here. Hoping for some good news from the Dr today. Will fill you all in later.

It's really scary and unfortunately so little is out of our control. When I asked the dr if we had to deliver how bad would the outcome be, she responded with her being comfortable with any baby at 28 weeks. So while it's not ideal it could just mean longer NICU time.
I'll keep you in my thoughts.

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
