Has this happened to you ?? 😳

Question

I’m not sure what this was or has this happened to anyone else I’m a first time mom and last night at 1 in the morning I was positive my water broke now let me tell you I wasn’t just imagining things I really didn’t want to drive an hour and half to get to the hospital I needed to be at but I had too so a ton of liquid came out and I’m only 34 weeks so I wasn’t really expecting it so we get to the hospital to find out yes I’m losing liquid but not my water type of liquid and I’m only 1cm dilated so now it’s 5 in the morning to find out I’m not going into labour but I need to watch for more liquid and have to rush back to the hospital if more comes out well long night all for that but has this happened to you did it mean you may be going into labour soonish or what ?

Answer

This might be long but here it goes. I had a membrane sweep on monday morning at 39+3 days. Early the next morning at 39+4 days, I kept feeling gushes so I went in and the doctor said my water bag was bulging and that my water could break any minute but he was going to send me home and to keep an eye out. Well as I'm getting dressed I felt a big gush and it starts running down my legs and into a puddle. The nurse checks me and says I cant tell what it is but whatever it is mixed with meconium (when the baby has a bowl movement inside of you) and still sends me home. The rest of the morning  I still felt small gushes and decided to go back they still couldnt tell if my water was leaking but decided to give me an ultrasound to see what's happening. Every time the ultrasound tech pressed on the top of my stomach I would leak. They decided to induce me that day, well the next morning 39+5 the doctor tried to manually break my water and I had none my water had already ruptured the day before the morning I started to feel the gushes. They said I could have had a tear at the top of my water bag which is why it never showed up on the swabs.
