question for all you already moms

this may be a very stupid question...but i just dont know as this is my first...
how do you truely know when your water has broken??? ive had little cramps the last couple days but nothing i cant handle...today i just feel weird and its probably just wishful thinking, TMI warning but my undies are more wet then normal right now...almost looks like i had a little accident...DH work ladies have me scared they said since i havent gained much weight i may not know when my water has broken cause there might not be a lot....i guess i can just wait it out to see if i get some serious contractions????

It's true that you may have a leak but it could also be discharge (which is normal). Call your ob for peace of mind.

When my water broke it wasn't a gush, it was just wet. I used a pad. Contractions followed about an hour later.

When your water breaks, it doesn't have to be a huge gush like you would expect.

Apparently when I had DS, my water ruptured a little bit and I had a little leaking... felt like I wet myself a little bit.

I had no contractions, just the slight leaking. I would call the doctor because if it is your water breaking, they want you to go to the hospital sooner.

Good luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I totally understand. FYI... not too long after I had the little leaking episode, I had a little pink color when I wiped after going to the bathroom... the beginning of my "bloody show"!!!

My opinion is to call the doctor, even if you don't tell your DH yet just to see what they say. They may want to see you to test to see if it is amniotic fluid.

Any news?

I too just had a slight leak & then I laid down & 20 minutes later when I got up I was wet again. I called my dr & she had me come in.

good luck!
