What if I don't know when my water breaks ?

Question

Water break stories please. I'm afraid I won't know (being in the shower or peeing) for the pat 2 days I've been having damp under wear kind of like if I was sweating or something.... What's if its leaking very slowly. ??

Answer

Mine wasn't a gush. It was slow drops and I wasn't sure if it broke or not.

Answer

I always expected the big gush that you see on films when my water broke. In fact when it did break I thought I had peed my pants, no big gush more of a trickle. It was only when it didn't smell like urine and this trickle kept happening I knew it was my waters.

Answer

People keep telling you that "you'll know" but that isn't always the case. I've know quite a few women who have had a small rupture or tear and they would only leak small or even tiny amounts if they strained or moved a certain way. The only way to know for sure is just to go in and have them check. It's a simple vaginal swab that will turn color if it comes in contact with amniotic fluid. There's no shame at all in having it done and it coming back negative. In fact it's better to be safe than risk an infection or reduced fluid levels for your baby. Good luck mama! Hope everything stays good for you 💕

Answer

Mine was a major gush when I got out of bed in the morning. It was like a giant water balloon broke and gushed out all at once. It continued to leak a lot as I moved around getting ready to go to the hospital.

Answer

I was already well into active labor when mine broke.  I heard the pop, then there was a huge gush of fluid.  Unfortunately it happened during a cervical check so it broke all over the doctor lol

Answer

It can be a slow leak. If you are concerned call your dr or go in to the hospital and have it checked out. It's a really quick and simple test. If baby's head is engaged in your pelvis it can block the big gush.

Answer

I feel that too ! It's like really watery ?

Answer

You'll know for sure.  If you think you are leaking you need to go in and get checked to make sure your fluid levels are okay though

Answer

You'll know.  I first felt something pop inside me then immediately after a gush of water came out and it wouldn't stop. I leaked for hours

Answer

You'll know trust me. It's a quite a gush of water and it'll continue to gush out afterwards. It feels differently than peeing, at least did for me
