Waters breaking

When my waters went I was really able to tell. I started to feel something going on, then when I went to the bathroom I pulled my pants down to check and this little splash of water fell out. Went to the hospital for them to check it was my waters, and by the time I got there I was gushing 🤣 and continued to pour for several hours it was a bit crazy actually lol. Not everyone’s experience but your maternity unit can check for you if you’re unsure x

I've had both. The one that pushed, the baby came quickly. The trickle it took a little while, but every birth is different. I'd call you o.b and see what they say.

I was in bed, rolled from my side to my back to get up and felt a bit of a gush like when you've got your period and get up in the morning and it gushes out (when using pads), they continued then to flow out quite a bit.
I was 36+6. My waters broke at 2:20am and my LB was born at 10:36am x

I woke up to go pee, but when sitting up my underwear was a little wet. When going back it was coming already so much that I knew it's not pee. After like 10 minutes not even the thick pads for PP could hold it anymore. I wet through pads in the hospital for hours (didn't have contractions yet, so still some time till birth).
I think it's a quick ph check - shouldn't take long to have it done

My water partially broke 2 months early. Idk what it felt like at first, but I woke up and felt like I peed myself. It was on my underwear a little but not my pants or the couch.

I was wetter than usual down there for a few days after. Asked my dr at my appointment and they said normal for 3rd trimester.. i was sitting in my office at work the very next day after my appointment and felt a gush (almost like a period gush) and that was my water breaking more. 5 hours later I had my baby.

Id youre concerned, id either see your doctor or go to Labor and Delivery to have it tested to see if its amniotic fluid. Especially if youre having pains with it.

I was in bed and I thought I felt a kind of soft thump/thud sensation in my bump. Got up went to the loo and there was nothing so got back into bed. A few minutes later a small amount of liquid gushed into my pants, went back to the loo and there was a few more little gushes. I put a pad in and couldn't really tell you what happened after that as I wasn't paying attention to much except intense contractions 😅 I assume small gushes or trickles as there was never another big noticeable gush or anything

My waters were leaking few days before I was 37 weeks which I thought was just discharge as it wasn’t a lot and only happened when I moved a certain way etc but because it was clear like water and had no smell I eventually phoned up and they told me to come in to get checked. They took a swab and it turned out that it was my waters which was put down as PPROM. Got kept in for 24 hours incase labour started then got sent home with antibiotics as there was a risk of infection then got induced at 37 weeks which was only a few days later! I would definitely get checked just in case x

Felt a pop and then a gush, as you'd expect. They can trickle but it has quite a distinctive sweet smell and i kept thinking i was trickling when in reality i think i was probably peeing. There was no doubt it was my waters when it did go

1st it flowed steadily (broken by midwife)
2nd it tricked (also broken by midwife)
3rd it gushed (broke on its own, and little girl arrived about 2/3 minutes later)

My friend lost hers without realising while on a long hike. Went in for a checkup a few days later and the scan showed it was all gone. Ended up inducing them an emergency C-section. Have you noticed any change in weight? The midwives normal advice wearing a pad to see if it absorbs the liquid

It was a big gush for me. If you're concerned at all go to triage and they can check for you.

When my waters broke I was already contracting - I was laying down at the time and when it happened it felt like I had a small water balloon in between my legs and it had popped. Stood up and more sort of gushed out. I continued to leak for a couple of hours like a period.

Does the liquid have a colour to it? If you’re not sure I’d visit your maternity unit to check just be safe. You don’t want to go more than 24 hours after waters breaking without being checked as it risks infection x

My water broke at 33 weeks. Initially I thought I just had a lot of discharge. But it was clear and a lot. Then I felt a gush. Called my midwife. She said to walk around without pants or underwear and if it trickles down my leg then it's most likely my water breaking and I need to meet her at the hospital. They did a swab test and it tested positive. Then it just kept on leaking felt like a lot of discharge just extra watery.
