L&D 12/27 to the wee hours of 12/28

Well, this might be TMI, so don't read if you are easily grossed out and such. I thought my water broke yesterday. And performed a certain "at home" test my OB had told me about- and it appeared that way. I didn't want to go to the hospital, but Steve made me. They checked for amniotic fluid and there was none, which is great news since I will not be officially 36 weeks until Tuesday. He needs to bake longer. I was contracting every 2-4 minutes. They checked and I am only dilated to 0.5 cm, I am 70% effaced, and -1 station. They could feel his head. So- I am getting close, bad news is the scar tissue is there and it is tough- holding my cervix together. She said I have an extremely short cervix due to that surgery back in Jan. So, I might rip open real quick and him be on his way. So, I have been instructed to come back to be checked any time I contract regularly or water breaks, etc. The doctor would not let me go back to work and said I had to be on bed rest for this week. So- here I am. I go back to Dr. Reidy on Friday so I will see what she says then.
