Does anyone know the actual texture of our “waters”?

Question

Is it quite literally, just water? if I touch it, is it thicker, lighter? Different consistency? Equivalent to urine?

Answer

I didn’t touch it with my hands but had my waters broken in the hospital when I had my first. It felt a bit more slimy on my skin perhaps than urine would but wasn’t super syrupy or anything.

Answer

I’ve heard it compared to like watered down dish soap 🤷‍♀️I’m a ftm so I haven’t experienced it yet ! Kinda curious as well !

Answer

It’s amniotic fluid. I’ve heard it looks like oil in your toilet if your water breaks like that. Unsure on consistency.

Answer

My waters broke this morning, they were a little thicker than urine and a bit slimy to touch. They also never stop coming! I’ve been going through pads all day as I get contractions.

Answer

Not the same as urine. I didn't touch mine, but I kinda looked at it on the floor. It seemed thicker, and mine had white flakes in it.
