Low fluid & head fully engaged at 33 weeks help.

Lastnight I found out my water was low. They said they will monitor the baby with stress tests once a week. This is not the first rupture I have had in this pregnancy and it's worrying me that something is wrong in there. Also in the past two days my baby went from head down still in the tummy basically to 100% engaged with the head resting on the cervix. I cant even get up to make breakfast with out needing to sit down, and needing to almost cry. My doctor and hospital staff are not doing enough. Could there be something wrong that they are missing? I feel like i'm going to have a breakdown..I am trying to stay comfortable on bed rest but just knowing I could go pre-term if I make the wrong move is scary. I am considering checking out the better hospital 2 hours away...any advice or opinions? PLEASE HELP my fiancee and I are at are end.

What more do you expect them to do?

Have you been contracting yet? If so Id hope they would give you some steroids for bubs lungs but other then bed rest im not really sure what they can do. :/ question though....how did you know your fluids had leaked? I just peed and after i stood up this little gush of liquid ran down my leg...didnt smell like anything but im lying down to see if when i get up again it happens again.

This one has been fully engaged starting around that time, too. I'm 39 weeks and making very little progress. I've been only 1/2 cm dilated for a month. Definitely hasn't come early! As far as the fluid... how low is it? All they can really do is give you fluids and if it gets too low, induce you.

I have no idea, it's just very hard being in so much pain and being worried that my water will keep leaking. The last time it went three weeks with no one noticing it was leaking and almost put the baby at 24 weeks c-section. I just wish my doctor would give me more answers on why this keeps happening, and why the baby is trying to come out so I could have some peace of mind that nothing is wrong. The doctor is very rushed

I had a scan done to make sure my cervix wasn't shortening anymore, because I dilated a little bit and the fluids read low. I am not sure what number it was at. And they did a nitrizine that was + for amniotic fluid. When I was put on the stress test it picked up a few small contractions, they hurt a little, they come and go a lot every day. I see my dr in 5 days so he will hopefully have more answers. The doc & nurse at L&D were not familiar with me, or my past issues and didn't take it as seriously and it's very hard to get in to see my doctor for questions...

my fluid was low with my oldest and they induced me because of that....
