when your water breaks

Question

I'm a first time mom to be and i was wonder before your water breaks, does it feel like you have to pee? Or does it just happen all of a sudden? I'm very curious. I would like to know before it happens. I've already started having contractions 😩

Answer

My first pregnancy my water pop on its own. It felt as if someone pour a bucket of water down my pant. My husband said the amniotic fluid has a stinky smell.

Answer

It'll just happen. No warning.

Answer

For me it was all at once. I tried describing the feeling to my husband and the best I could come up with was it felt like a water balloon popping inside me and a gush of fluid of which followed. 
But after my water broke my contractions instantly went from 4m lastin 30sec to 45sec apart lasting 45sec long. And my pain level went from an6 to a 10. I was holding my son two hours later.

Answer

I've had two kids both times my water didn't break. In all honesty I don't want it too ever! I don't want the mess or to ruin the carpet or car seat ECT or for me or others to think I pissed myself

Answer

All of mine broke in the hospital cause mine refuse to break on their own. I don't think there is a warning. Most wear a pad near the end if they are going out. It's not like the movies though. It's more of a slow soak or trickle when you contract most of the gush happens when the baby delivers at least in my case. Except my c section. That was a huge mess lol. But if your pregnant and out in public and your water breaks judgement is the furthest thing from everyone's mind. Ppl will either help or run.

Answer

They had to break mine at the hospital

Answer

My doctor broke my water while I was in labor at the hospital. And it feels like you peed yourself, lol.

Answer

For me it was all of a sudden. Also heard a popping noise with mine which doesn't happen for everyone.

Answer

I was asleep and woke up to a feeling of liquid coming out of my body. It doesn't feel like peeing

Answer

Mine was a little different different from what others discribed. I was scheduled for induction and the evening before I kept having clear fluid leaking out all night and I had contractions but nothing on a schedule. I went in at 6am to be induced and they said my water had already broke but my body wasn't dialating itself and had to give me the pitocin and cervidil(not sure how to spell that) 
Anyways, everyone is different but I think most are like the gush of fluid but I've known a couple people who have had theirs break or leak out like mine did.
