Water breaking??

Question

What doesn’t it feel like when your water breaks? And what do you feel after your water breaks? Like how do you know your water actually broke?

Answer

Mine leaked a little and a few contractions later I had a very intense contraction and I felt the gush. They continued to leak throughout my labour (no one ever told me this happens). I assumed it stopped after the gush 😂
Waters broke 8 hours after first contraction. 
10cm dilated 4 hours after water broke.

Answer

I think its different for everyone because sometimes they pop earlier or they trickle etc. Both times my labours broke right before I gave birth. It was a pop sound and then a gush, there was a lot of pressure and pain in my back from all the contractions and then suddenly POP and no pressure, then I felt as the baby's head fell down like they were about to bungee out of me 😂
Honestly I can liken it to if you had a full water balloon, and you squeezed it with your hands, and every contraction you squeezed tighter and tighter until it just pops.

Answer

I woke up from my sleep to use the bathroom and noticed that my pants were slightly wet. Went to use the bathroom and to clean myself up and put a pad on in case I wet myself again. I figured that I peed on myself. I noticed that I was still leaking a little and I couldn’t control it from stopping as if I were holding in my pee. Suddenly, I felt a pop (it didn’t hurt) and more fluid started to flow out. That’s when I realized that my water broke.

Answer

The one time mine broke without assistance, I had some bad contractions, turned on my side and it was just this sudden flood/pop of liquid. A lot of it.

Answer

I was laying on the couch with contractions. At the height of one of my contractions I heard and felt a large pop and right after that fluid started rushing out.

Answer

On both mine, it felt like an uncontrollable gushing that you can’t stop till it stops by itself. I didn’t have any contractions or feel different after mine broke. I wound up having to be induced with my first because labor didn’t start

Answer

I was having a contraction and I stood up and just had warm water leaking all the way down my legs. At first it felt like regular discharge but then it filled up my underwear and was waterier and just wouldn’t stop running down my legs and dripping on the floor

Answer

Mine didn't break until I was pushing already. I felt intense pressure then felt it pop and it exploded all over the poor timid Israeli girl who was a visiting fellow with the OB 🤣

Answer

Felt like a balloon popping. It was actually incredibly painful for me and then the contractions got 100x worse.

Answer

With my youngest I didn't feel it break, It woke me up and It basically ran down my legs the whole way to the bathroom. I thought I was peeing myself until I turned the light on and saw the pinkish clear puddles I'd made. Contractions started about 5 mins later for me, and she was born almost exactly 6 hours later. She was a 34 weeker and apparently early babies come faster
