Did my water just break? UPDATED

Well....in not really asking any of you....but I do understand how people are unsure! I've had quite a few BM's today and after the 4th one decided to lay down for a nap. I woke up with a period like cramp and when I shifted I felt a little wet down there. Nothing new, I've been pissing my pants for weeks now. But then I sat up and stood up and I soaked my entire pad, underwear and pants. I've noticed 2 more period type achy waves since then....I'm guessing these are the start of contractions. About to hop in the shower and see how the next 15 minutes or so go then ill be calling my MW.
Again...not looking for a diagnosis here, just hoping this could be it for me! Hopefully this is it! You know how everyone says "you'll just know" - yeah they lie.
Update: took a shower (shaved legs and everything) layed down to see if it would happen again...got up...huge gush! YAY! Spoke to my MW and they are good with me staying home through the night as long as LO keeps moving. So excited and a tad terrified all at the same time.

I hope this means good things. Thinking happy thoughts for you.
I would lay down for a few minutes then get back up. If you get more moisture, then you should definitely get checked.
Good luck! I hope this is it for you!
