With my first my water broke at 32 weeks without labor.  I was actually part of the trial for the magnesium.  It has an odd feeling, you get suddenly very hot and get a metallic taste in your mouth, but its temporary.  I believe the studies found that the magnesium does delay labor.  I stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks on bed rest until I was induced at 34 weeks when they determined the risk of infection to the baby was worse than the risk of him being born early.
