How much fluid when your “water broke”?

Question

How much fluid did you actually lose when your water broke, or that signified that your water broke? Or was it just a small “gush of fluid” that actually broke?
Enough to soak a pantyliner? Enough to soak a pad? Or enough to soak through your pants?

Answer

I was wearing a dress so can't say how much it soaked, but it was a pretty consistent stream going down my leg so I feel it could have easily soaked my pants and maybe even a pad. It wasn't a gush for me

Answer

I was laying in bed and felt a small gush. It filled the pad I was wearing and the front of my underwear got wet a bit as well. But nothing leaked onto the bed, so just enough to fill a pad I guess.

Answer

My water didn’t even break all the way on its own but when it started leaking it felt like I peed my pants a good bit

Answer

Mine broke in a leak. I woke up and my underwear were completely wet. It was fairly clear it was not discharge, and there was a slight pink tinge. I changed underwear and it continued to slowly, but consistently get wet. This was on my due date. If it’s a leak, it will keep coming, not coming in little spurts like discharge.

Answer

My soaked the hospital floor! If it’s broke then you’ll usually ‘leak’ as well x

Answer

It literally feels like you piss yourself lol

Answer

A midwife burst my water when I was in labour and it gushed so fast it was a bit of shock haha. I had so much it flooded over the end of the bed and all over the floor 😂 but obviously they didn’t go naturally so I’m not sure how that’d be! I’m hoping to be a bit more natural this time around!

Answer

At first it was “oh that’s not bad” and then one contraction came and no pad in the world would stop the amount of fluid that gushed out. I mean, I felt like I was going to flood our living room lol.

Answer

It’s about a half liter of fluid when you’re full term.

Answer

I've had a leak and also a full gush. A leak can be tricky. When it happened to me, it was maybe 1 or 2 teaspoons at a time. It was enough to go through my undies and leave a little wet spot on my pants or sheets, and it kept happening throughout the day. 
With the full break (I've had 3 kids in case I'm being confusing) it was like an entire water bottle of water coming out. Like you fully peed a very full bladder on yourself but you don't have the full bladder then relief feeling, and no matter how you tighten your muscles it still happens. It wasn't like a water balloon bursting, it was a stream like peeing.
