Im in my 8th month and honestly thoda scared about this. Will I even know its water and not just pee? Does it come in a big gush or slow? wanna be ready before time.
For me, it happened at midnight. I felt a sudden pop inside and then warm water started leaking continuously, I couldn't stop it. We rushed to the hospital right away and my baby was born hours later!
Don't be scared, beta. It feels like warm water leaking, and you won't be able to hold it like pee. Just keep your calm, call your husband or family, and contact your doctor right away.
I completely understand how anxious you must be feeling thinking about this, I was terrified too. For me, it was just a slow dampness. If you feel any trickling or sudden wetness, just call your doctor to ease your mind.
Keep a few clean maternity pads handy in your bag. If you feel any leaking, put one on to check if it's continuous. If the pad gets wet quickly, it's time to head to the doc.
I was doing light stretching which my gynac permitted when I felt a small trickle. It is important to notice if the leak is continuous. If you think your water broke, stop any activity and contact your doc.
Oh babe, don't stress too much about this. You will definitely know when it happens because it's a different feeling altogether. Just keep your gynac's number on speed dial!
My doctor explained that the amniotic sac ruptures, releasing clear or pale straw-colored fluid. She strictly warned that if the fluid looks greenish or brownish, you must rush to the hospital immediately as it means baby passed stool.
Haha, I thought I peed my pants at 3 AM! Turns out my water broke. It was a slow leak for me, not a dramatic splash. Just wear a pad and run to the hospital!
This is a clear sign that labor is near, so please don't take any chances or wait at home. Contact your gynac immediately to get checked. Safety of the baby is most important.
My mother-in-law told me to keep checking for back pain, but my water actually leaked slowly without any pain. I called my doctor immediately and she asked me to come in. Trust your doctor's instructions over anything else.
For some it's a gush of liquid, while for others it's just a slow trickle. It can be confusing, so if you suspect your water has broken, it's best to call your gynac immediately.
Look, it's not always like the movies where a bucket of water drops. Sometimes it is just wetness in your underwear that doesn't smell like urine. If this happens, grab your hospital bag and go straight to the hospital.
