Waters breaking in Shower?

So I just showered and maybe a bit tmi and gross but I peed in the shower and then a few minutes later felt like a little sharp twinge in my vagina and looked like water was dropping but when I stood out the shower stream it stopped. I am right in assuming if my waters had actually broken it might still be trickling after the shower? I've put a pad on and it's dry and I've been sat down and when I stood up my pad is still dry. I'm right in just assuming then it's not my waters? Sorry for the grossness 🙈

Not gross! But it doesn’t sound like your waters broke to me. It’s hard to know cause you were in the shower but even after a full break you still leak after for a bit! Keep an eye out for contractions just in case but I think you’re okay!

It doesn’t sound like they’ve broke but you could always ring the maternity unit and ask if they can do a swab to check x

Thanks everyone, it's been over an hour of my shower and my pad is still dry so I'm going to assume I'm in the clear. I had a growth scan this morning for reduced movements and baby is fine, waters looked good so I think I'm in the clear. I'll keep an eye out for any contractions though, thank you x

My water broke as I was getting ready for work. I thought I had an accident and told my SO that I had an accident and he said it was ok, but I kept leaking he immediately told me to call my manager cause he was going to take me to the hospital. If I hadn't listened to him I would have had her at work. My first contractions felt like regular cramps until I was fully dilated then they got stronger. It started at 11:30 in the morning, I got fully dilated at 5pm that same day, and she was born in 22 minutes. She's my first and I didn't get any medication or epidural, plus got a second degree tear, had to get stitched up and only took Tylenol twice after that.

I would call dr to mske sure because my mom water leaked out slowly witj me and i was 911 c-section because i had no more water and it was dangerous for me. So just to be safe i would call see if my dr wants to see me. Currently pregnant

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
