Sex & bag of waters?

Question

So I know that you are absolutely not supposed to have sex after your water broke BUT I am unsure, if it broke. I had the tiniest little bit what felt like peeing myself & I had no control over. But it hasn't happened since & I talked to a nurse on the L&D floor she told me not to worry until it keeps happening... But if my water hasn't broken "all the way" per se is it okay to have sex? Or is that out of the question if I even think it started too? Sorry I'm a first time mom & everything makes me nervous & I question everything lol!

Answer

I had this too. If your water broke even just a little than no. Because the sperm can cause infection. If it hasn't broken then your safe until it does and you can do it all you want. Sex helps soften the cervix. Be careful i hope this helped you. Good luck. :)

Answer

I thought this happened to me my first baby too. How far along are you? My nurse had told me to drink a bottle of water and lay on my left side for half an hour..just relax. Then when the time is up get up fast, standing straight up. Do you leak? If not then your bag likely isn't broken. Depending on how far along you are will also determine what it could be...waters, urine, mucus plug, or discharge. If you really think your water bag is leaking you should get it checked out before having sex.
