possible water breaking?? help!!

Question

My water didn't break with my first. Just now I woke up feeling wet down there. I checked myself and I was really wet! Went to the bathroom and even a good amount of underwear got wet but not soaked! Could it possibly be my water breaking or just a lot of discharge?? It's so hard to tell. It's only been like 15 mins and I haven't had anymore wetness yet. So I'm not sure. ( I am 37 weeks tomorrow )

Answer

Sounds like it did. This is what happened with my first born. I felt a little gush then when I stood up water definitely started coming down. Good luck!!! Super exciting!

Answer

Sometimes the bag breaks,  but when you stand up the baby's head moves down and plugs the hole up again.  It sounds like water to me.  Try to go back to sleep.  If you are going to go into labor you will need your rest!  Trust me.  I went into labor at midnight,  and when my baby was born at 533 am,  I'd been awake for 24 hours.  I was beyond exhausted.

Answer

Amniotic fluid is a pale, straw-colored fluid. Vaginal discharge, on the other hand, is a thin, milky-white mucus that’s similar to (but heavier than) what you might experience between periods. And bloody show—a sign labor is imminent—is a mucousy discharge streaked pink or brown with blood.

A sniff will probably clue you in: If the fluid is yellowish and smells of ammonia, it's probably urine. If it doesn’t smell (or smells sort of sweet), it’s probably amniotic fluid.

It’s likely that labor’s on the way, and soon. Most women whose membranes rupture before labor begins can expect to feel the first contractions within 12 hours of that first trickle, while most others can expect to feel it within 24 hours. In the meantime, you won't run out of amniotic fluid — your body continues to produce it right up until delivery.
