X-Post on Pregnancy--NEED HELP!! How do I know if my water broke or not?!?!
First, I am 37w and 3d
Around 2am I woke up to go to the bathroom, upon return to my bed I lied down and felt something wet. I got up and saw a spot on the bed. The spot was about 3" in diameter (to me that's a small spot), and I smelled it, didn't smell like urine, but not so sure it was sweet either.
I got a towel, just incase, and tried to pay attention so see if anything more came out. I feel asleep, and woke up about 45 min ago, towel was dry.
Did my water break?!?! Was this just discharge or urine??? I call my Dr, but office is closed til 9, and recording says "If this is a TRUE emergency" I don't want to embarass myself with it NOT being my water.
DH is more freaked han I am b/c I've been telling him when my water breaks we have to go to the hospital.
TIA!!!!

I would say put on a pad and see if that is getting wet as well.
And call the doctors office and let them know - they will probably have you come in to check

it sounds like it could be it! i had a slow leak and my doctors made me go to the hospital. it never gushed out. they are able to test to see if it's amniotic fluid.
does your doctor have a # to call for emergencies? i'd give them a call! good luck!

Not sure b/c mine continued to come out and alot after that. so it sounds different from my experience but everyone is different. Definitely call them and let them tell you.

I would call the doctor and let them know. You might have a leak. When my water broke, there was no mistaking it.

I answered on Pregnancy but had the same situation. I say call. It's nothing to be embarassed about. They can't tell either, they need to do a test.
