Lost amniotic fluid at 33 weeks

Since Friday, my waters have broken.. Unexpectedly. I was just about to go out with my daughter.. Then my husband noticed the fluid and I quickly realized what had happened.

Called the midwife, she checked it by smelling it, then sent us straight to the hospital. It turned out to be amniotic fluid for sure.

After a while, I started getting back contractions, which are incredibly painful. I immediately got all sorts of medication because there's no dilation yet. The injections for lung maturation have also been administered by now. Saturday and Sunday were tough days, especially because I sleep very poorly, have constant pain, and frequent hardening of the belly. Meanwhile, the amniotic fluid has become pinkish. I also got some kind of morphine shot, but it didn't work. Which made me feel even more out of it mentally.

Our son is lying transversely, so getting out of bed isn't an option either.
The doctors want to wait until week 37, which is best for the baby, but I'm mentally struggling so much on the fifth day. I have no energy left, I'm exhausted. Plus, there's a C-section coming up. Visits are too much for me. It's breaking me down.

How much longer do I have to go on? Because it's starting to get really overwhelming.

I feel a bit depressed. Because no contraction suppressant is working

What a wreck I'll be after 37 weeks....
