Im 34 weeks and getting close so this is on my mind a lot. How will i even know its the water breaking and not just normal discharge or pee? a bit scared i might not realise on time. pls tell me what it actually feels like.
My mother said water breaking can happen quietly without any pain at first. But you must trust your body and immediately go to the hospital because the baby needs to be delivered safely within 24 hours to avoid infections. Keep your doctor's number on speed dial, ma.
I kept checking my underwear every five minutes because I was so paranoid about leaking amniotic fluid. If you feel a sudden gush or constant trickle that smells sweet or has no smell, please don't wait and contact your gynac immediately. It is always better to be safe!
I am in my 38th week and constantly worried I won't realize if my water breaks. Does it always come as a big gush or can it be just a slow, continuous trickle?
According to my pregnancy app, water breaking is usually odorless and clear or pale straw-colored, unlike urine. If you can't control the flow by contracting your pelvic muscles, it's amniotic fluid. Keep a hospital bag ready and head straight to your gynac.
With twins, when my water broke, it was like a mini flood, there was no missing it! 🤣 But seriously, it can also just be a slow leak that wets your underwear. Put on a clean pad and if it gets soaked quickly, call your doctor.
Haan na, it is a very scary thought. For me, it felt like a continuous warm wetness that didn't stop even when I changed my clothes, ho na. If you feel anything like this, call your doctor quickly.
