just wondering.....

If your water breaks but it's not a gushing, not saying mine broke. Just wondering if it were to be leaking would it be enough to some my panties or would it be enough to keep my panties wet in little places with out it drying before I have to use the potty again? I got my cervix check yesterday so I'm still in pain and have some legamint problems so Im just wondering what other people's water breaking was like and how they figured out there water broke?
