What does it feel like before your water breaks?

makhutch · October 2012

I know this may seem like a silly question...but is there a certain feeling before it does break? Can one of the babies kick so hard it breaks it? I honestly feel like I am getting kicked right in the "Hooha" by Baby A, but I was curious to know if there is a certain feeling before it does break? Thanks!!!

I was on the toilet when mine broke, so for me it was pretty convenient. There was a little pop, almost a feeling of pressure relieving internally (but still barely noticeable...I was just paying attention down there since I was using the restroom). It didn't feel like anything associated with the babies, just excessive leaking. I didn't feel anything different before it happened. From there, I continued to have little spurts (just felt like I couldn't control my bladder) for several hours.

With my first son, it broke during my induction. I honestly didn't feel anything and I thought I had peed myself b/c suddenly I was all wet. I was so embarrassed to call the nurse in and then relieved when I realized what had happened.

With the twins my doc broke my water to get the monitor on Benjamin's head.... again,didn't really feel anything until the gush of fluid.

With my daughter I didn't feel anything beforehand. I was in bed watching TV, and when I got up to pee, a HUGE gush came out. Strangest feeling ever!

I was standing up and it felt like something was leaking on the inside of my stomach and just like that it rushed out. But I could definatley tell it wasn't just peeing my pants because the inside trickle feeling started much higher. Very weird feeling.

Mine broke with my oldest not the trio for him I was asleep and woke up with something leaking down my leg I thought I was peeing I rolled out of bed crawled to bathroom and stood up and then the gush happened no denying what it was. But no he was more still then anything.

Both times my water broke and it didn't feel like anything right before, there was just a sudden gush feeling. The first time it wasn't much at all (nothing like in the movies!).

But the second time I was pretty soaked by the time we got to the hospital. What I didn't know before is that it keeps going after the initial "break".

Woke up to pee, heard a pop and went to the bathroom. I was a bit worried bc it was pink and I expected clear. 1/2 hour later contractions were 3 min apart.

All I felt was liquid running down my legs when I stood up to go tot he bathroom in the middle of the night. no pop or anythign and mine didn't come out super fast but was pretty much constant stream til we got the hospital. One thing I never thought about ahead of time was what I'd wear if my water broke & also towels, etc for the car seat...

I will say though, I went to the OB 2 days prior and was really squirmy and antsy on the table & I said something about making an u/s appt for that Monday (it was Wed.) and he was like, well, you can make that appt but I guarantee I'll see you at the hospital before Monday based on how you seem right now... My water broke Fri night.
