My water broke at the end of my 27th wk. I was admitted to the hospital and was hooked up to monitor contractions and the baby. Much to my surprise I was contracting, but overall the baby seemed to be doing really well. I was a fingertip dialated, but was never checked again after that until delivery. It was a long 9 wks. in the hospital. Baby would show signs of distress and we'd think we were heading for an emergency section and then she would pick up. Overall I delivered a little girl at almost 36 wks. How emotional! She is perfect despite some tummy probs. from so many antibiotics. Good luck to all of you!
