This will be my first full-term baby (hopefully). With DD1 (27w) I went into premature labor but my water didn't break until I was about to give birth and already at the hospital. With DD2 (34w) my water ruptured so it was only leaking a little bit, I was then in the hospital for over a week before I actually gave birth to her. I've made it past both Milestones of when my girls were born and only two weeks left before I would be considered term. I'm just wondering what it's going to be like and what do I do? Will my water break first or will contractions start first? Do I call an ambulance or do I just drive to the ER (I'm in the US). How quickly do I have to make it there if I don't call an ambulance? If I drive to the hospital will they see me right away, or will I have to wait in the ER? can I just drive and go into L&D unit? Do I call Triage at my OBGYN first? This is all new territory for me.
