Discharge will have a certain smell to it ! If you think your fluid is leaking I would call your OB

ETA: Usually at the end you have more discharge , I had to wear a pad

It feels like you peed on yourself...like bad lol...I think you're just experiencing discharge...probably nothing but since you're so call just call your obgyn.

It's a flood!

Mine broke while I was in the hospital, I felt like a pop and then a gush of warm fluid all down my legs.

Mine was not gush. I was already in the hospital and knew I was in labor. It felt like I suddenly peed--sort of, but not quite--and not a ton. I told the nurses that I think my water just broke, or I lost control of my bladder. At first they looked and said I don't think that's your water, but then they tested it and it was.

My doc always said it would be a huge gush if my water broke, but it really wasn't.

I actually didn't know my water broke lol. I mean I kinda had a feeling but thought it would be a gush. I later found out at my dr. appt. that it broke probably 24 hrs prior!

They say that amniotic fluid will have a "Sweet" smell to it.
