Did my water just break???

Nickiechan · May 2011

I know that there was a post about a lady who thought her water just broke and she just peed herself. How do you tell the differences? I just rolled out of bed to go get lunch around 12:20 and felt a popping sensation... just like when my pelvis pops and such... seemed normal to me... but the a 'gush' of fluid start to come and I just sat there in shock really. I wish I would have tried to do a kegal to see if it was urine or not. I have lost control of my bladder before, but my bed is SOAKED... like really bad... My PJs are soaked and I did urinated when I went to the bathroom to change. I am trying to do the simple test of laying down for a half an hour to see if my pad is wet... It was wet at 1:00... I did get something to eat and now doing another test. I am waiting for DH to come home to call the doctor and smell it... it doesn't smell like urine to me... it smells like nothing. I don't think my bladder is this big... for the amount of fluid that is here. Plus I did go to the bathroom around 11:55 if I remember... sorry for being scatter brained post.... I am going LMAO if I just peed myself... but it is a lot of fluid.

What did you doctors tell you to do if you water breaks? With everything I discussed with my midwife I didn't talk to her about this.... ugh.

I would be really surprised if that wasn't your water breaking.

You need to call your doctor and they'll probably tell you head to the hospital.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but you felt a pop and gush of water..sounds like a water breaking to me sweetheart. Call the doc!

Sounds like your water broke and it is better to be safe than sorry. I would either call the doctor right away to see what she says or go straight to triage to get checked. My doctor told me to go right in to the hospital if my water breaks because they will want the baby delivered within 24 hours. Good luck!

To me it sounds like your water did break.... urine smells well like urine. Even if you aren't having contractions you should call your MW. Due to the risk of infection once your water has broken, they usu. like to make sure you deliver within 24 hrs. You don't have anything to worry about but you don't want to ignore it for days is all

It sure sounds like it to me! Congrats!

Sounds like water breaking! Call your OB and see what they want you to do. Most likely they will have you labor at home for awhile unless you are GBS+. Good luck!

Sounds like your water did break! My doctor told me to call if I have any leaking fluids. How exciting!

I haven't had this happen to me.... but I would assume your water has broken!

With the pop and the gush, it sounds like your water broke.

absoluteremix · May 2011

Good luck sweety!! Keep us updated. Sounds like both you and AprilLynn could be having babies REALLY SOON!!!!!

DaisyJanie · May 2011

My friend did have that happen, where she thought it was water breaking and it was actually pee, but the midwife told her there was pretty much no way she could have told the difference, so calling and coming in was the right thing to do! It sounds like water breaking to me, definitely get checked out - good luck!

Congrats!

It really sounds like it was your water. I wouldn't wait too long to call the doctor (no more than a couple of hours) provided the fluid was clear and you are NOT GBS positive. But, you should really just do what your doctor has instructed you to do..

I woke up this AM and my underwear was a bit wet but it was not my water breaking. I just freaked out for a bit..

I've heard that amniotic fluid has a sweeter smell than urine. Sounds like your water broke, though. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Telly21182 · May 2011

From what I've read it sounds like your water broke! Call your doctor and good luck!!!

ragazza988 · May 2011

omg!!! how exciting, it def. sounds like your water broke...call your doctor, you will most likely be meeting baby very soon!!!

LollyBug18 · May 2011

Not even sure if it's worth contributing at this point but I had a very similar experience and they decided it was watery discharge from losing my mucus plug, not AF. But definitely call to make sure. If it was your water, there will be a baby soon! Good luck!

nowayamyrae · May 2011

I agree that it sounds like water breaking -- I'd call just to be sure!
