of your "water"...when your water breaks is it actually like water? or is it a little thick? is it clear? colored? tinted? odor?
it would be nice to know what to look for if i sprung a leak..
ive been having an increase in discharge lately so it would be wise of me to know what to look for....

Re: what exactly is the consistancy...
It's water that keeps on coming. If you pee yourself it's a short burst (well, most of the time LOL). If you keep 'leaking' or you lay down and a gush comes out when you stand up, it's probably your water.
Mine with DD was clear, it smelled a bit like salt water almost. With DS it had meconium and you could DEFINITELY tell, it was gross.
