38wks/4days preg. baby is completely low, i'm all thinned out (effaced) but not at all dilated. what are the chances of water breaking or labor asap?

Unpredictable: As frustrating as it is - there is still no way for us to accurately predict when labor will begin. Most women don't 'break their water' until they are further along in labor. Your cervix is off to a good start, but can't help with the predicting.
