Think my water just broke...?

seraphiclust · November 2012

With dd they broke my water at 9cm so I never got to experience it on its own. I have been having irregular contractions and pain all night and just got up to pee and after wiping warm liquid continued to come out. It continued in a slow leak on way to bed and sitting down I keep getting warm puddles under me and it is clear and smells sweet.

My question is at what point do I call my dr and confirm? I want another med free birth so Im worried if I call too soon I'll be on the clock. Do I walk and try to get some regular contractions first? Any advice would be helpful!

Definitely sounds like your water broke to me. I think you are on the clock whether you tell your doc now or later...when my water broke the midwife gave me 12 hours before coming in, contractions didn't start fast so it was great to be able to take a walk, do my routines, etc...but I did check-in via phone.
